Question. What is that language they sometimes lapse into when they're mad - sounds like a cross btn Chinese and Vietnamese.

My son got my hooked on the series prior to Christmas (Sci-Fi network) and he got the 4 set DVD for Christmas. Also so "Serenity" - no spoilers from me - but it's a great movie, but, see the series first!!

When they're speaking Chinese, it means they're cursing. They decided to do that instead of fooling with censors or bleeps. I think it's hilarious!

It's a bastardized Chinese. You'll find a rather good translation BY episode here.
