Рикардо Родригес
Rodriguez de la Vega, Ricardo
1961 Scuderia Ferrari SpA SEFAC
The younger of the two racing Rodriguez brothers, Ricardo gave up bike racing at the age of 14, having won the Mexican championship, to race an Opel sedan. By 1957 he was already competing abroad, taking a class win in the Nassau Tourist Trophy with a Porsche Spyder.
The brothers Rodriguez came to Europe in 1960 with a NART Ferrari, though it was with Andre Pilette that Ricardo gained his best result, a second at Le Mans in a 250GT. Teamed with Pedro, he took third in the Sebring 12 Hours and second in the Nürburgring 1000 Km.
Invited by the Scuderia to join their Grand Prix line-up for the Italian GP, he sensationally put the car on the front row of the grid alongside the ill-fated championship favourite, von Trips. Not surprisingly he was signed by the team for a full season in 1962, but the car was far from the dominant machine of just a year earlier and young Ricardo, still a little wild and fearless, was used selectively. In a bright start, the Mexican took second place at the Pau GP, before confirming his outstanding potential in a number of World Championship rounds. In sports car racing he was out of luck, except for a win in the Targa Florio sharing a Ferrari 246 V6 with Gendebien and Mairesse.
When Ferrari decided not to enter their cars for the non-championship Mexican GP, Ricardo arranged to race one of Rob Walker's Lotus-Climax V8s. Striving for pole position, the young charger came unstuck, crashing on the banking and dying from multiple injuries.

Cette liste regroupe les personnages de la franchise , c'est-à-dire de la série télévisée , du film  et des comics .

Personnages principaux

Malcolm Reynolds

Malcolm Reynolds, surnommé Mal, est joué par Nathan Fillion. C'est le capitaine et le propriétaire du . Son statut d'ancien combattant d'une faction opposée à l'Alliance le prédispose à vivre en marge de l'espace contrôlé par cette entité géopolitique. Il montre une loyauté féroce envers ceux qu'il considère comme faisant partie de son équipage.

La tâche principale que s'est assignée Malcolm est de garder son équipage en vie et son vaisseau en vol. Comme le note le  Tim Minear, . Dans , mal dit de lui-même :

Des écrans visibles dans  suggèrent que Mal serait né le , ce qui lui ferait un âge de 49 ans au moment de la série. Mal a été élevé par sa mère et  dans un ranch sur la planète Shadow. Bien que Mal semble ordinairement plus pratique qu'intellectuel, il surprend parfois l'équipage en montrant une certaine familiarité avec des œuvres littéraires allant des œuvres de Xiang Yu aux poèmes de Samuel Taylor Coleridge, bien qu'il n'ait par ailleurs aucune idée de « qui » est La Joconde.

Mal s'est engagé dans l'armée indépendantiste pendant la guerre d'unification contre l'Alliance et y a progressé jusqu'au grade de sergent. Zoe est restée à ses côtés pendant l'essentiel de la guerre et a survécu à de nombreux conflits avec lui. La série mentionne trois batailles, incluant celle de Du-Khang en 2510 (montrée dans un flashback dans Le Message et une longue campagne d'hiver sur New Kashmir (comme raconté par Zoe dans Histoires anciennes où il commande une section. Mal a aussi été impliqué dans la campagne au sol durant la bataille de Sturges (montrée dans la mini-série de comics ), qui selon Badger a été , bien que Mal la considère comme la seconde, et de loin, sur ces aspects. Mal a participé à de nombreuses autres batailles, mais le tournant pour lui et les Indépendantistes a été leur défaite physique et morale à la bataille de la  sur la planète Hera, Des informations à l'écran dans le film  laissent entendre que Mal a reçu une promotion au grade de capitaine pendant cette bataille pour prendre le commandement d'un nombre croissant de soldats indépendantistes dont les officiers étaient morts aux mains de l'Alliance. Cela pourrait expliquer pourquoi dans l'une des scènes supprimées du pilote Les Nouveaux Passagers il est affirmé que Mal a commandé au moins 2000 hommes. Dans , Reynolds est montré comme ayant été attaché à la , que Badger surnomme la «  », bien qu'il ne soit pas clair s'il s'agit d'un surnom réel ou forgé par Badger.

Après la guerre, Mal a acquis son propre vaisseau, un transport de classe  modèle 03-K64 en mauvais état dont le précédent propriétaire était un nommé Capitaine Harbatkin (Mal n'a jamais pris la peine de changer les papiers d'enregistrement). Mal a donné au vaisseau le nom de  en mémoire de la bataille décisive.

Zoe Washburne

Zoe Washburne, née Zoe Alleyne, est jouée par Gina Torres. Elle est second de l'équipage du .

Née le  à bord d'un vaisseau, Zoe a combattu sous les ordres du sergent Malcolm Reynolds dans le camp indépendantiste durant la Guerre d'Unification et continue à le suivre maintenant qu'il est capitaine d'un vaisseau de transport. Elle partage sa conviction dans la corruption de l'Alliance et veut la liberté des planètes extérieures. Loyale envers son commandant et dangereuse guerrière, Zoe est la seule de l'équipage de Mal à l'appeler régulièrement , un vestige de leur passé militaire. Elle fait une confiance inconditionnelle à Mal, mais a déjà parfois désobéi à ses ordres.

Zoe a épousé Wash, le pilote du , peu après qu'il eut rejoint l'équipage, bien qu'elle ait d'abord émis des réserves lors de son recrutement, affirmant qu'il l'ennuyait.

Dans le commentaire DVD de l'épisode Le Duel, la costumière Shawna Trpcic mentionne que le collier en cuir de Zoe est un symbole des liens du mariage. Cependant, elle est montrée portant ce collier dans un flashback de l'épisode La Panne, bien avant son mariage avec Wash.

Bien que le style de vie de Zoe et Wash soit très dangereux, leur mariage se porte bien. Wash devient cependant jaloux de la proximité entre son épouse et Mal. Zoe et Wash ont parlé d'avoir des enfants ensemble mais ce dernier est tué durant les événements du film . Il est cependant révélé dans le comic  que Zoe est enceinte de Wash, et elle accouche d'une petite Emma dans la mini-série de comics .

Dans le livre , le créateur de  écrit que le nom de famille de Zoe avant son mariage était Alleyne (au moins à l'époque de la Guerre d'Unification) et qu'elle a pris le nom de Washburne après son mariage. Cela est confirmé dans une scène supprimée de , où un affichage la liste sous le nom de Caporal Zoe Alleyne. Dans le documentaire , son nom est donné comme Zoe Warren, qui est apparemment une version utilisée à un moment de l'écriture du film mais changée avant sa sortie.

Au moment de la bataille de la , Zoe avait atteint le rang de Caporal. Elle et le Sergent Malcolm Reynolds ont été les seuls survivants de leur section dans cette bataille.

L'accessoire utilisé comme son arme préférée a été utilisé à l'origine dans la série .

Hoban Washburne

Hoban Washburne est joué par Alan Tudyk. C'est le pilote du  et l'époux de Zoe. Il est toujours appelé uniquement « Wash », la première syllabe de son nom de famille. Quand Mal l'interroge à ce sujet dans la novélisation du film , l'explication de Wash est . Dans l'épisode La Femme du commandant, il révèle deux éléments de son passé : il choisit de devenir pilote car il a grandi sur une planète où l'atmosphère était si polluée que les étoiles n'étaient pas visibles, et il a passé un certain temps sur une lune où la principale forme de divertissement est de jongler avec des oies. Wash est montré comme un homme décontracté avec un humour pince-sans-rire, et a souvent une influence apaisante dans les débats enflammés. Ses actions peuvent parfois paraître lâches, mais Wash a prouvé de nombreuses fois qu'il pouvait recourir à la violence pour venir en aide au reste de l'équipage.

La novélisation du film donne des éléments supplémentaires sur le passé de Wash : après que son ami  eut truqué les résultats pour devenir premier de la classe devant Wash,  s'est assuré du silence de celui-ci en lui proposant ses services à chaque fois qu'il en aurait besoin. Dans le commentaire DVD de Histoires anciennes, Tudyk indique qu'il croit que Wash a servi en tant que pilote dans la Guerre d'Unification, bien que sans préciser dans quel camp. Tudyk a aussi plaisanté sur le fait que le vaisseau de Wash a été abattu dès son premier vol et qu'il a été enfermé dans un camp de prisonniers, où il a passé le reste de la guerre à amuser ses co-détenus en faisant du théâtre d'ombres. Plus tard, les talents de pilote de Wash lui ont valu une telle réputation qu'il est activement courtisé par de nombreux capitaines quand il rencontre Malcolm Reynolds. Wash accepte l'offre de ce dernier et embarque sur le , dont il épouse plus tard le second, Zoe.

Wash meurt vers la fin du film  , tué sur le coup par un harpon lancé par un vaisseau de Ravageurs. Ses derniers mots sont , d'où dérive le titre de la mini-série de comics Serenity: Firefly Class 03-K64 - Leaves on the Wind, se passant près de neuf mois après sa mort, alors que River Tam lui a succédé à la place de pilote et que Zoe accouche de sa fille Emma Washburne. En hommage à Wash, sa collection de dinosaures en plastique reste sur la station de pilotage sur la passerelle du . La mort de Wash est également au centre d'un autre comic, , où trois de ses amis qu'il avait connus avant de rejoindre l'équipage du   font la cérémonie de baptême d'un vaisseau nommé  en sa mémoire.

Whedon a dit à au moins deux reprises depuis la sortie du film que si la série avait continué, Wash n'aurait pas été tué. Quand il a répété cela durant la réunion  à la Comic-Con de San Diego en 2012, Tudyk a pris un air extatique.

Inara Serra

Inara Serra est jouée par Morena Baccarin. Rebecca Gayheart devait à l'origine interpréter ce rôle, mais Whedon l'a remplacée après seulement un jour de tournage, arguant d'un manque d'alchimie entre elle et le reste de la distribution. Morena Baccarin a tourné sa première scène le jour même où elle a été acceptée pour le rôle.

Née à la fin du  sur Sihnon, Inara est une Compagne, c'est-à-dire une prostituée de haute distinction ayant une licence officielle d'une Guilde approuvée par l'Alliance, dont les prestations sont coûteuses et codifiées et qui sélectionne les clients qu'elle accepte de recevoir. Dans la société de l'Alliance, les Compagnes font partie de l'élite sociale, et tiennent souvent compagnie aux riches et aux puissants. Il y a un important cérémonial et une ritualisation entourant leurs services, qui s'étendent au-delà des relations sexuelles pour entretenir le bien-être psychologique et émotionnel de leurs clients.

À la fin de la série télévisée , la plupart de ce que les spectateurs savent à propos des Compagnes vient d'Inara elle-même et de quelques conversations avec et à propos d'autres Compagnes ou de femmes ayant subi la formation de cette guilde. Ces sources suggèrent que l'entraînement des Compagnes inclut la grâce physique et sociale, une pratique artistique et la psychologie. Les Compagnes choisissent elles-mêmes leurs clients et ceux qui se révèlent indélicats sont bannis des services de la guilde. Inara a plusieurs clients réguliers à travers les mondes de l'Alliance et prend aussi bien des clients masculins et féminins, bien que la plupart de ses clients sont des hommes.

Inara, une bouddhiste, était une étoile montante dans la Maison des Compagnes quand elle a soudain et inexplicablement tout laissé derrière pour voyager dans la bordure extérieure. Elle a laissé entendre qu'elle , bien qu'il soit fortement sous-entendu qu'elle avait d'autres raisons. Huit mois avant les événements du pilote Les Nouveaux Passagers, elle loue une des navettes du , ce qui lui fournit à la fois un moyen de transport planétaire et un lieu de travail. Bien qu'elle ait au début déplu à Malcolm Reynolds en affirmant avoir soutenu l'unification durant la guerre, ils ont depuis tous les deux développé une attirance l'un pour l'autre, à laquelle ils résistent, officiellement pour des raisons professionnelles, et qui s'exprime sous forme de moqueries et parfois de querelles blessantes. Mal insulte constamment son choix de carrière mais se montre offensé quand d'autres le font, et il frappe notamment un client d'Inara dans l'épisode Le Duel, disant à celle-ci

Inara montre dans cet épisode une certaine maîtrise de l'escrime. Dans le film , elle prouve également qu'elle a reçu un entraînement d'arts martiaux et qu'elle sait se servir d'un arc et de flèches. Une scène proposée du film devait montrer Inara en train d'expliquer le maniement de l'arc aux autres filles de la maison des Compagnes, mais cette idée a été retirée car elle apparaissait trop comme une «  »

Une intrigue secondaire concernant Inara était en arrière-plan de la série sans avoir pu être développée avant son annulation. Joss Whedon, dans le commentaire audio DVD de l'épisode pilote, explique que la seringue qu'Inara sort de sa boîte lors de la rencontre avec le vaisseau des Ravageurs n'est pas pour le suicide. Plus tard, dans l'épisode La Panne, lorsque Simon dit qu'il ne veut pas mourir sur le vaisseau, Inara répond qu'elle ne veut pas mourir tout court. Dans Mission secours, Nandi remarque qu'Inara ne vieillit pas. Le secret a été révélé dans une présentation à la DragonCon de 2008 où Morena Baccarin confirme qu'Inara était atteinte d'une maladie mortelle, ce qui est confirmé dans l'émission spéciale 10 ans de la série intitulée  diffusée sur la chaîne  en . Dans la même émission, le scénariste Tim Minear explique que la seringue mystérieuse contenait une drogue qui causerait la mort de ses violeurs au cas où cette éventualité se produirait. Il a également affirmé que si la série n'avait pas été annulée, un épisode aurait montré Inara enlevée par de nombreux ravageurs, qui auraient tous été retrouvés morts par Mal, à cause des effets de cette drogue.

Jayne Cobb

Jayne Cobb est joué par Adam Baldwin, qui a remporté en 2006 le  du meilleur acteur de second rôle/Télévision pour ce rôle. C'est un mercenaire, membre de l'équipage du . Il est d'une loyauté douteuse vis-à-vis de ses camarades d'équipage. Jayne est un homme à la carrure impressionnante (Baldwin mesure ), donnant au premier abord l'impression d'une brute mais qui fait régulièrement usage de bon sens et de ruse. Adam Baldwin décrit son personnage comme  Il le qualifie également de , expliquant son utilisation d'humour noir en expliquant qu'en cas de danger, il y a le choix entre .

Bien que se comportant souvent de manière brutale et simpliste, il montre parfois un caractère plus complexe et sensible. Dans le premier épisode Les Nouveaux Passagers, Jayne se joint à Book au moment de dire les grâces en silence. Dans Le Message, il est révélé que Jayne envoie l'argent gagné dans ses activités mercenaires à sa mère, qui l'utilise pour prendre soin d'un enfant malade nommé Mattie. Dans le même épisode, il porte fièrement un bonnet tricoté orange et jaune avec oreilles et pompon orange, juste parce que sa mère le lui a fait spécialement pour qu'il ne prenne pas froid alors qu'il voyage à travers l'espace, malgré les gentilles moqueries de ses camarades d'équipage. Adam Baldwin a vendu aux enchères le bonnet original utilisé dans la série lors d'une vente de charité au profit de la , pour un montant de  et la Fox affirme posséder la propriété intellectuelle sur ce bonnet pour faire cesser le marché naissant de production de répliques.

Dans Intrusion il éprouve de la honte après avoir vendu Simon et River Tam, et montre un franc dégoût quand il apprend ce que l'Alliance a fait à River. Dans Le Message, il est visiblement en colère quand il voit des parents récupérer le cadavre de leur fils et dans De la boue et des hommes, quand un jeune homme lui sauve la vie en sautant devant un tir de fusil qui lui était adressé. Jayne a également montré de la peur devant tout ce qui concerne les Ravageurs, une population de sauvages cannibales, ainsi que devant ce qu'il considère comme une mort inhumaine, comme être jeté dans l'espace. Dans La Panne, Jayne touche curieusement le gâteau d'anniversaire de Simon. Les commentaires DVD des épisodes La Panne et Histoires anciennes indiquent qu'Adam Baldwin a ajouté une compulsion tactile au personnage. Jayne tend à toucher, sentir et goûter les choses qui l'entoure, étant en contact permanent à son environnement. Même s'il a quelques coups d'un soir, Jayne n'est engagé dans aucune relation à long terme, bien que Whedon mentionne dans les commentaires du film  qu'il a un faible pour Kaylee. Ses sentiments pour elle peuvent être vus dans l'épisode pilote, quand il observe son opération chirurgicale, ainsi que dans son hostilité envers Simon, dont Kaylee est visiblement amoureuse. Jayne est dédaigneux envers Simon et River, qu'il voit comme un danger pour sa sécurité car ils pourraient attirer sur eux l'Alliance.

Jayne possède dans sa cabine un large arsenal, dont l'arme la plus puissante est un énorme fusil d'assaut surnommé Vera, qu'il essaie de troquer avec Mal contre Saffron, l'« épouse » de ce dernier dans La Femme du commandant. Il porte également souvent un dérivé de révolver LeMat, et a dans le film  une mitrailleuse surnommée « Lux ».

Jayne est considéré comme une sorte de Robin des Bois par les habitants de Canton sur la Lune de Higgins (dans l'épisode De la boue et des hommes), qui lui ont érigé une statue au centre de la ville et chantent une chanson dédiée au  (), qui raconte comment . En réalité, Jayne a doublé son partenaire Stitch Hessian et a été forcé de jeter l'argent pour pouvoir s'échapper. Jayne finit par accepter l'hospitalité des habitants de la ville, mais se sent coupable qu'ils voient ses actions intéressées comme héroïques.

Kaylee Frye

Kaywinnet Lee « Kaylee » Frye est jouée par Jewel Staite. Kaylee a des compétences excellentes en mécanique malgré son absence de formation et est la mécanicienne du . Elle est exceptionnellement joyeuse et enjouée, gardant le sourire même quand le moral de tout le monde est bas.

Jewel Staite décrit le caractère de son personnage comme bienveillant, doux, et , ajoutant qu'

Staite a dit au magazine  que  À côté de ses compétences en mécanique qui lui permettent de tout réparer, elle aime les choses féminines et est ennuyée que Mal ne voie pas qu'elle est autant une femme qu'une mécanicienne Cet aspect, récurrent dans la série, est particulièrement visible dans l'épisode Le Duel, quand il critique son désir d'acheter une belle robe car elle n'en aurait pas l'usage dans le cadre de son travail.

Un flashback dans l'épisode La Panne montre comment elle a rejoint l'équipage du  après que le capitaine eut surpris Bester, son mécanicien de l'époque, en train de faire l'amour avec une jeune femme dans la salle des machines du vaisseau alors coincé au sol par une panne matérielle. Bester prétend que le vaisseau est irréparable mais la jeune femme qui s'avère être Kaylee identifie et répare immédiatement la panne. Impressionné par ses capacités, Mal lui offre immédiatement la place de Bester.

Quand Kaylee rencontre pour la première fois Simon Tam dans l'épisode pilote, elle est immédiatement attirée par ce docteur bien habillé. Quand elle reçoit plus tard une balle dans l'estomac tirée par un passager, Simon refuse de soigner sa blessure avant d'avoir la promesse que lui et sa sœur River seraient autorisés à rester sur le . Malgré cela, Kaylee est encore plus attirée par le docteur après qu'il l'a sauvée

Jayne Cobb embarrasse à plusieurs reprises Kaylee en se moquant de son attraction pour Simon, souvent devant ce dernier Son attirance pour Simon ne débouche sur rien dans la série, même s'il est clair que ce sentiment est réciproque. À plusieurs reprises, les deux personnages sont sur le point de se déclarer mais Simon fait sans s'en rendre compte une remarque blessante sur le vaisseau ou Kaylee elle-même. Simon finit par se déclarer à Kaylee dans le film , et la fin du film les montre tous les deux ensemble et ils sont en couple dans la mini-série de comics  qui se passe neuf mois plus tard.

Durant la , Jewel Staite a dit que si la série avait continué, elle aurait aimé voir Kaylee et Simon avoir un bébé.

Simon Tam

Le docteur Simon Tam est joué par Sean Maher (et Zac Efron dans un ). C'est un passager du . Il a sacrifié ses biens et sa carrière pour arracher sa sœur à un mystérieux programme expérimental. Ses compétences médicales sont régulièrement précieuses pour l'équipage.

Simon est le fils de Gabriel et Regan Tam, né fin  sur Osiris, une planète centrale dirigée par l'Alliance. Dans le script original de l'épisode Pilleurs d'épave, il est révélé que Simon a soutenu ce camp durant la Guerre d'Unification. Depuis son enfance, la famille de Simon avait de grands espoirs qu'il devienne médecin. Il est accepté à la meilleure académie médicale d'Osiris, et finit dans le top 3 % de sa promotion, avant de finir son internat en huit mois au lieu d'un an. Il devient chirurgien traumatologue en résidence dans l'un des meilleurs hôpitaux de la capitale d'Osiris.

Pendant ce temps, la petite sœur de Simon, River, rejoint une école d'élite de l'Alliance nommée l'Académie. Simon finit par comprendre que River dissimulait un appel à l'aide codé dans ses lettres à sa famille, et commence à chercher comment lui porter secours. Après deux années de tentatives infructueuses pour lui venir en aide, il est contacté par des gens d'un mouvement secret qui l'aident à la libérer. Pendant que Simon et River s'enfuient vers Persephone, l'Alliance gèle tous les comptes bancaires de Simon et lance un avis de recherche envers les deux fugitifs.

Sur Persephone, Simon cherche un vaisseau pouvant l'embarquer avec sa sœur enfermée dans un caisson de stase, et embarque sur le . Après avoir appris l'histoire des Tam, Mal offre à Simon le poste de médecin de bord, que ce dernier accepte. En plus de soigner les fréquentes blessures des membres d'équipage, Simon passe beaucoup de temps avec River pour essayer de trouver un moyen de la soigner, et avec Kaylee qui se montre très attirée par lui. Les Tam sont toujours recherchés par l'Alliance mais parviennent à échapper à son attention, parfois de justesse. Il y a également des tensions récurrentes entre Simon et Jayne Cobb, qui finit par essayer de les vendre à l'Alliance dans l'épisode Intrusion, après que River l'a agressé avec un couteau. Après l'incident dans Sains et Saufs, Simon est mieux reconnu en tant que membre d'équipage et dans De la boue et des hommes, lui et Kaylee partagent le premier moment où Simon révèle qu'il est lui aussi attiré par Kaylee. À la fin de la série, Simon se laisse plus aller, particulièrement en ce qui concerne Kaylee. Cela est souligné par son changement de costume : après l'épisode Intrusion, il s'habille de manière plus détendue, portant des pull-overs au lieu des chemises et vestons qu'il portait jusque-là.

Dans le film , Simon est finalement parfaitement intégré à l'équipage, au point de se permettre de frapper Mal quand il met River en danger durant un cambriolage. Vers la fin du film, Simon avoue à Kaylee qu'il aurait aimé qu'ils aient une relation romantique au moment où ils se préparent à une bataille apparemment sans espoir contre les Ravageurs, et ils entament cette relation à la fin du film.

River Tam

River Tam est jouée par Summer Glau, qui a gagné un  du meilleur second rôle féminin pour ce rôle dans le film  en 2006. C'est une passagère du . Glau a également été nominée pour le prix de la meilleure actrice de film aux SyFy Genre Awards en 2006. Outre le film, la série et les comics, est également le personnage principal de la série de courts métrages . C'est une personnalité instable, ayant été victime d'expériences mentales.

River est la sœur adolescente du Dr. Simon Tam. C'est une enfant prodige, très intelligente et athlétique. Bien que Simon ait été un des meilleurs de son école de médecine, il dit avoir l'air d'un idiot en comparaison de sa sœur. Tous deux ont grandi ensemble, très proches l'un de l'autre, au sein de la famille Tam, sur la planète centrale de l'Alliance Osiris. Avec son excellent intellect et sa compréhension intuitive des notions complexes, elle est envoyée dans une école seulement connue comme « l'Académie » à 14 ans. Bien que ses parents et Simon aient pensé que l'Académie était une école privée destinée à former les étudiants les plus prometteurs de l'Alliance, il s'agissait en fait d'une couverture pour une expérience gouvernementale visant à créer le parfait assassin. River a été le cobaye de médecins et scientifiques de l'Alliance, les expériences secrètes menées sur elle incluant une neurochirurgie intensive durant laquelle la majeure partie de son amygdale a été retirée, la laissant incapable de contrôler ses émotions. Elle a des périodes abruptes d'instabilité mentale et possède des capacités d'intuition et psi, et les  laissent entendre que ces capacités existaient déjà à l'état latent avant son entrée dans l'école, sans qu'il soit expliqué quand et comment elle est devenue pleinement télépathe.

Malgré la surveillance de l'Alliance et l'isolement dans laquelle elle est maintenue, River parvient à masquer un appel à l'aide dans une lettre codée à destination de son frère. Celui-ci comprend le message et malgré le désaccord de ses parents qui le pensent paranoïaque, il parvient au bout de deux ans à faire évader sa sœur et à fuir jusqu'à Persephone, où ils embarquent tous les deux sur le .

Le film montre que River est extrêmement douée pour le combat à mains nues, et dans l'épisode Histoires anciennes elle tire trois coups d'une précision mortelle avec un pistolet, après un simple et bref coup d'œil au champ de bataille. À deux reprises, elle affronte seule des adversaires en large surnombre (20 à 30 à la fois) et parvient à les vaincre sans souffrir plus que des coupures superficielles. Le style de combat utilisé par River est un mélange de Kung-fu et de kickboxing, modifié pour lui donner un aspect plus « ballet » correspondant à la formation initiale de danseuse de Summer Glau, comme celle-ci le révèle dans plusieurs interviews.

Derrial Book

Derrial Book, souvent appelé  Book, est joué par Ron Glass. C'est un , passager du  qui donne fréquemment des avis et des perspectives de nature spirituelle aux membres de l'équipage.

Ses connaissances sur un certain nombre de sujets suggèrent qu'il a eu une vie agitée avant d'être pasteur : il est ainsi compétent sur des questions incluant le vol spatial, les armes à feu, le combat à main nues ou les activités criminelles. Son passé a également un lien avec l'Alliance : sa carte d'identité lui donne un accès prioritaire sur un vaisseau-hôpital de l'Alliance, et dans Le Message, il montre sa connaissance des procédures militaires de l'Alliance. Après les événements de la série, il quitte le vaisseau dans la mini-série de comics  et s'installe dans une petite colonie sur la lune Haven, où il est tué en même temps que les autres colons par l'Opérateur dans le film .

Le comic  révèle le passé mystérieux du personnage : Book est en fait un homme nommé Henry Evans, qui a fui à l'adolescence un père alcoolique et violent. Il est recruté par le mouvement indépendantiste quelques années plus tard, après être devenu un petit criminel. Avant le début de la Guerre d'Unification, il infiltre les rangs de l'armée de l'Alliance après avoir tué un cadet nommé Derrial Book et pris son identité. Il connaît ensuite une progression fulgurante dans la hiérarchie, jusqu'à ce qu'il orchestre à lui seul la plus grande défaite de l'Alliance, causant la perte de plus de  hommes en une seule manœuvre. Au lieu de lui infliger un procès formel, l'Alliance décide de cacher cette défaite et Book est abandonné pour y mourir sur une planète proche. Quelques années plus tard, Book a une révélation divine et rejoint une abbaye dont il sort quelques années plus tard pour prêcher sur de nouveaux mondes, et embarque à bord du .

Personnages secondaires

Badger

When I try to convert a audio pts timestamp 61415424 into clock time via av_rescale_q() of mathmatics.c in arm cortext-a8 processor of beagleboard, it returns a wrong 64bit.
in av_rescale_rnd(a,b,c,AV_ROUND_NEAR_INF), where a=61415424, b=1000000000, c=28224000, I checked it's return value is 2176000000 (0x81B32000). But it returns 18446744071590584320 (0xFFFFFFFF81B32000). It seems the high 32bits return minus instead of 0x0 due to sign bit in low 32bit (for timestamp smaller than 61415424, there is no problem). This case never happened when I used ffmpeg from svn repository.
yes, I have debugged. The value is correct inside av_rescale_rnd(). But after it returns, the value is wrong.
I use same compiler. This case happens at e1a86d03855f2fb1bf7961efd6794ddd9226f228 (master-git), but not at c6c2dfcf15c1d93b2189adff6f71c5c4b6b05338 (0.6.2). I guess some compilation options in configure or Makefile produce the issue.
I don't know what "angstrom" is but I would have expected a version number or "cc -v" output - please provide that.
Do I understand correctly that the problem cannot be reproduced with gcc?
arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc is a cross-compiler for arm-based device like beagleboard.
Where you able to run git bisect to find the change introducing the problem?
I am not sure I understand: You wrote above that c6c2dfcf15c1d93b2189adff6f71c5c4b6b05338 works fine but that e1a86d03855f2fb1bf7961efd6794ddd9226f228 shows the problem you describe.
to get back to the revision before running the tests.
this issue happens at 0ebcdf5cdad6bf20a5170735a7f77b23ecc081ac where mathematics.h is removed from libavutil/avutil.h. After it is reverted, the issue is gone. I don't know why this would produce the issue.
this issue happens at 0ebcdf5cdad6bf20a5170735a7f77b23ecc081ac where mathematics.h is removed from libavutil/avutil.h.
I need to mention, since ffmpeg is moved libav, I got source codes from libav. I assume both share same source codes. Are they different?
I don't think FFmpeg has moved, please test sources from http://ffmpeg.org/download.html and report if you can reproduce your problem.
I find mathematics.h was reverted later on for other reasons.
Do I understand you correctly that the issue is not reproducible with FFmpeg?
I feel confused about ffmpeg and libav. Before and including http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=commit;h=a85ce653fb14ae968419453fabf1ffe10d1f15df commit, both repos. look same. But from this snap, I don't see mathematics.h included. But its previous one and one after two commits, i.e. one you want me to look at have mathematics.h. Also after this snap, both libav and ffmpeg have different commits.

Stage 13 started just outside of Toulouse and was another long day in the office.
The boys talk breakaways and their concern that today might be an all-out sprint for 62 miles given so many want to make it into breakaways.
Stay in the loop with all things Orica-GreenEDGE and Orica-AIS. Welcome to our new exclusive OGE Channel
There's talk of just how tough it is to initiate and sustain a breakaway, but the guys also talk tactics about how to maintain position in a breakaway.
There's more of this ongoing obsession with merchandise that the team seems to be developing but also some great bike cam footage of Bling chatting as he rides - good news in that the ribs just keep improving. In fact, there's some awesome footage from the bike cams in general as well as the scenery.
It's been a tough 13 days as the guys confess, but they're holding on.

Greening the Garden
Bucherer 1888 are Europe's leading Swiss watch retailer with 130 years of expertise. Bucherer brings long standing relationships and savoir- faire straight from Lucerne - the heart of Switzerland.
The Covent Garden store showcases the very best selection of Rolex, Carl F. Bucherer, Cartier, Hublot, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Breitling, Tag Heuer and Tudor collections; with a range of exclusive and limited edition watches to explore.
130 years ago in the heart of Switzerland, Carl-Friedrich Bucherer and his wife Luise opened their first watch and jewellery store in Lucerne. Even in 1888 before Switzerland became the watch mecca it is know as today, the country held a distinguished reputation for the art of watchmaking. The couple's sons, Ernst and Carl Eduard Bucherer joined the company in the 1920's with a wealth of knowledge that lead Bucherer to even greater successes and expansion. In his primary tenure at Bucherer, Ernst entered into a successful partnership with Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex, at the time a little known watch brand. To date Rolex remains Bucherer's most important partner and leader in the world of horology. From its early beginnings, Bucherer has continued to bring the world's finest time pieces to discerning clients.
The Bucherer Group is now Europe's industry leader and operates 72 fine watch and jewellery boutiques in 5 countries.

Recently, Apple announced that it would be discontinuing support for "legacy media" using 32-bit codecs in the next major release of the macOS after Mojave. These soon-to-be-discontinued codecs were built, for the most part, on QuickTime 7, which is also 32-bit.
Prominent on Apple's list were DNxHD and DNxHR, both of which are used regularly for Avid Media Composer projects. Because the concept of "old media not working" can scare any editor, I emailed Avid a series of questions to learn the impact of Apple's decision on Avid software.
Larry asks: My first question speaks to the fear of "nothing working" in Media Composer. DNxHD/DNxHR are two of the soon-to-be-discontinued codecs in macOS. My understanding is that Avid relies on codecs supplied by the macOS. Therefore, if some codecs – such as the list Apple provided – are no longer supported by the macOS, Media Composer and other Avid applications, will no longer be able to play existing media. Is this understanding correct?
Avid: DNxHD and DNxHR are not "soon-to-be-discontinued" on Apple systems. Any application that supports these files formats and codecs natively will continue to work after macOS Mojave, and as such will not disappear from use on an Apple platform.
Media Composer – and many other applications that run on macOS – supports DNxHD and DNxHR without the use of codecs from the macOS. The announcement from Apple does not prevent anyone working with Media Composer products, nor any other product that has native support for the DNx family of codecs, from working with DNxHD and DNxHR media. This announcement is restricted to users of FCP, Motion, and any other application on macOS that has not implemented DNxHD and DNxHR natively.
Media Composer and many other applications work natively with DNxHD and DNxHR by using 64-bit libraries from Avid, or from other 3rd parties – whether the media is in the QuickTime file format or the open MXF standard.
Specifically, for QuickTime file formats, many applications, including Avid application, have depended on the QuickTime 7 libraries supplied by Apple, for which Avid developed a plug-in for DNxHD and DNxHR support. With the deprecation of the QuickTime 7 libraries, these applications are moving to the same native codec implementation method as was used for the MXF file format.
Larry asks: As a follow-on question, when does Avid rely on Apple's codecs and when does Avid create their own?
Exporting these files in a .mov wrapper is currently still reliant on QuickTime 7 libraries. Avid is in the process of updating our products to no longer rely on these libraries for export and will release software updates in the coming year. Other products have their own schedules for reading and writing DNxHD and DNxHR QuickTime file formats.
Larry asks: For editors that, for whatever reason, don't want to transcode their media to ProRes, which Apple recommends, which codecs does Avid recommend for those that want to future-proof their media?
Avid: The DNxHD and DNxHR codecs adhere to the SMPTE VC-3 standard, which means that they are inherently future-proofed. Customers who wish to interoperate with media in both Final Cut Pro and Media Composer should transcode their media into a format that both support, like AVC-Ultra, XAVC-I, XAVC-S, etc., preferably wrapped in MXF.
Larry asks: Because technology marches on, should Windows users consider transcoding their media and, if so, what codec(s) does Avid recommend for Windows?
Avid: Windows users can continue to use the codecs and formats they rely on today. If they are truly concerned, they should consider a true SMPTE standard format like DNxHD or DNxHR with an MXF wrapper. In addition, due to the wide support of codecs and file formats both on Mac and Windows version of Media Composer, there is often no needs to transcode to any formats. That material can be directly linked to, or simply rewrapped in Avid's MXF based file format.
Larry asks: For those editors that live in an Avid universe, is Avid planning to provide a utility that can search for outdated media and convert it into a more future-proof format?
Avid: Media Composer can transcode a multitude of formats and codecs into DNxHD and DNxHR media in an MXF wrapper – a fully future-proofed format. Avid has not identified any "outdated" media that editors should be concerned about converting at this time.
There are two "flavors" of DNxHD/HR: Those built on the 32-bit QuickTime 7 architecture and those that are "native." A native codec is a codec that was written by Avid, which does not rely on the 32-bit architecture of QuickTime 7. As Avid discussed above, native codecs should be fine for future use. It is those built on QuickTime 7 that are in jeopardy.
Part of the confusion over the coming codec change is that QuickTime 7 provides support for DNxHD / DNxHR, while Avid also provides native DNxHD / HR support. This leads to confusion where Avid recommends transcoding to DNx, while Apple says that DNxHD is one of the codecs being discontinued. Sigh… It is currently very difficult for non-engineers to tell if they are using a 32-bit or 64-bit version of a codec. Hopefully, this confusion will get cleared up over time.
As mentioned in my original article, we don't need to do anything, yet, except to be aware that this change is coming. However, it wouldn't hurt to look over past projects and start to catalog what codecs they used. We will learn more from both Avid and Apple as the transition gets closer.

Danger! Host Alex Trebek dies at the age of 80 after battling pancreatic cancer
Alex Trebek, whose wit, pronunciation and steady hand contributed to the Jeopardy! in a juggernaut, died at the age of 80.
The beloved television presenter died early Sunday morning at his Los Angeles home.
A spokesman for the show told the outlet: "Jeopardy is saddened that Alex Trebek died peacefully at home this morning, surrounded by family and friends."
Trebek revealed a fourth stage diagnosis for pancreatic cancer in March 2019.
CNN's Brian Stelter reported that Trebeks last day in danger! The studio was on October 29th. The episodes will continue to be broadcast until Christmas Day.
Stelter added that Jeopardy! The producers said, "The show is not currently announcing any plans for a new host."
Before his death, Trebek continued to host season 37 amid the coronavirus pandemic. Trebek has more than 8,200 episodes of Jeopardy!
Alex Trebek, up on the set of Jeopardy !, died at the age of 80. Trebek was born and raised in Canada. He worked on radio and television in his home country for 12 years before moving to Los Angeles in 1973 to host The Wizard of Opportunities. It took about 10 years and many shows before he landed Jeopardy! Trebek hosted the popular quiz show for nearly 8,000 episodes in 36 years and won numerous awards for its work
Danger! released a statement Sunday afternoon on Trebek's death after the TV presenter passed away at his home
He said in September that he was responding exceptionally well to treatment and is expected to mark his two-year survival next February.
The famous host admitted that his journey was not easy and that he had to contend with bouts of "great depression" during the trial.
However, he remained optimistic about achieving two years of recovery, aided by his wife and "soul mate" Jean, in addition to the "millions of prayers" sent by well-wishers from around the world.
"The one-year survival rate for patients with stage 4 pancreatic cancer is 18 percent," he said. "I am very pleased to announce that I have just reached this mark."
"I'd be lying if I said the journey was easy," he admitted. "There were some good days, but many not-so-good days. I joked with friends that cancer won't kill me, chemotherapy will.
"There were moments of great pain, days when certain bodily functions stopped working, and sudden, massive attacks with great depression that asked me if it was really worth fighting it."
Trebek did his best to let go of the challenging feelings surrounding his serious illness and focused on staying positive.

"I was quick to brush that aside because that would have been a massive betrayal, betrayal to my wife and soul mate Jean, who gave her everything to help me survive," he said.
Trebek started out on radio and television in his native Canada and did a number of game shows in Hollywood before starting the revival of Jeopardy! Wrapped up in 1984 with the wheel of fortune and syndicated nationwide, the show became "part of American life," wrote Trebek in his 2020 autobiography.
"The audience got used to having me there, not so much as a showbiz personality, but as an uncle. I am more of a part of the family than an outside celebrity coming to your home to entertain you. & # 39;
Trebek, whose family called him "Sonny", grew up in the nickel mining town of Sudbury, Ontario. He studied philosophy out of a need to find his way through college. Trebek was bilingual and spent 12 years promoting and hosting radio and television for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in English and French before moving to Los Angeles in 1973 to host The Wizards of Odds.
He is survived by his 30-year-old wife, Jean, and their two children, Matthew and Emily. Trebek was close to his first wife's daughter, Nicky. He married Elaine Callei in 1974 and they divorced in 1981.
Despite numerous awards and recognitions, the host, whose facial hair or lack of it has led to speculation and reporting, remained humble, noting in his memoir, "I've never seen myself as special."
Above Trebek with his family at the Emmys Awards in June 2011. Next to Trebek are his 30-year-old wife Jean, his daughter Emily, the daughter of his first wife Nicky and his son Matthew. Trebek was married to Elaine Callei from 1974 until their divorce in 1981. "My relationships with Elaine and Nicky are still close. Although I never adopted Nicky – her birth father was alive at the time – I use osmosis to refer to her as my daughter, "he wrote in his autobiography The Answer Is… Reflections on My Life. Trebek married Jean Currivan in April 1990
In the late 1920's his father, George Edward Terebeychuk, left Ukraine for Canada. After changing his last name to Trebek to match his cousin, George began working in the kitchen and cooking in Toronto and then in Sudbury, a town known for its nickel mining in Ontario.
In Sudbury, George was co-chef at the Nickel Range Hotel and met Lucille Lagace. They married in December 1939 because Lucille was pregnant. George Alexander Trebek was born on July 22, 1940 in a small hut just behind my grandparents' house. There was no doctor. & # 39;
His sister Barbara was born on October 14, 1941, and Trebek recalled a childhood surrounded by his extended family in Sudbury and for a time in Toronto. He often watched his uncles, who were under construction, building and painting. He also spent a lot of time with his father when he worked as a cook, writing that "the kitchen became a second home to me".
Since his mother was French-Canadian, Trebek was bilingual and he described himself as & # 39; a good student in elementary school. Got good grades. A little sh ** stirrer. & # 39;
His family called him Sonny growing up, and as a teenager he used his middle name Alex to avoid confusion with his father. This emerges from his autobiography The Answer Is … Reflections on My Life.
"I never thought about whether we were poor. We existed like everyone else. My friends and I were all just lower-middle-class kids from lower-middle-class families. We played every sport: hockey, baseball, softball, basketball, soccer. I blew my knee out while playing soccer. Some parents owned their homes. Some parents rented. We were all part of the same community. & # 39;
And while his parents took great care of each other, Trebek noticed that they were unsuitable: "Dad was a smoker and a heavy drinker. Mama was mad, and she was brighter than him. Divorce was almost unheard of in our church, but they split up, which caused me immense distress. & # 39;
Trebek spoke both English and French when he was a child in Sudbury, a town known for its nickel mining in Ontario. His Ukrainian father immigrated to Canada in the late 1920s and his mother was French-Canadian. Being bilingual helped his radio career when he first started on radio and television, as he could advertise in both languages. He worked in Ottawa for two years before being transferred to the Toronto headquarters of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation known as CBC. There he hosted the Canadian equivalent of American Bandstand, a show called Music Hop, and Trebek can be seen at the top of the show in the 1960s
Trebek stayed with CBC for 12 years and was an all-rounder. He covered sporting events like curling tournaments, introduced orchestras and ballet performances, and hosted quiz shows like Reach for the Top, where Canadian students vied for scholarships. according to his autobiography. Then he started thinking about a career in America. Through his compatriot Alan Thicke, Trebek got a job as a presenter of The Wizards of Odds in 1973 and moved to Los Angeles. Trebek topped one of the shows he hosted as high rollers in the 1970s and got thrown into the dice
A producer who worked with Trebek on High Rollers said to him, "Alex, never turn down a job. You never know if another offer will come, "he says in his autobiography. The answer is … reflections on my life. "For a long time, as long as I could, I didn't turn down jobs. And I never doubted my talent either. I never took it personally when a show was canceled. I knew I was good. Because I had experience. & # 39; Trebek, above, in 1984, the year he was Jeopardy!
Luck and timing played a part in Trebek's endangerment !, he wrote. He once represented Chuck Woolery, who was the host of the Wheel of Fortune at the time. Merv Griffin, the Jeopardy, remembered this favor! and thought about reviving the show. Danger! was originally hosted by Art Fleming and, according to Trebek's memoir, first aired from 1964 to 1974 and then for six months in 1978. Julann Wright – Griffin's wife at the time – was the one who came up with his format: the candidate receives the answer and has to answer the question. Trebek, who was at a book signing in New York City in 1990, also produced Jeopardy! for the first three years
When his parents separated, Trebek was sent to boarding school at the University of Ottawa and he started playing. His behavior was "so unruly" that he and his father had to ask the headmaster to let him stay at school. According to his memoirs, Trebek was then a good and good student.
He tried the military to pay college but rebelled against its rules. Back in Sudbury and with no money, he completed a so-called "matriculation year" or the equivalent of a freshman university in Canada. He went to prom, but Trebek wrote that he was very shy of girls. I wasn't forward at all. You'd have to throw me into the arms of a girl and she'd have to willingly accept me for something to happen. & # 39;
Trebek studied philosophy at the University of Ottawa because it allowed him to work part time to pay for his education. "Growing up, I wanted to be either a pilot, a doctor, or a prime minister of Canada," he wrote, adding that he also thought about medicine at one point. But when he discovered radio, all of these professions fell by the wayside.
It took a little while to get into the business. Trebek remembered that he had auditioned well but was not hired due to lack of experience. "Perhaps my rebellious period has kept me from taking no for an answer," he wrote, then applied to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, known as the CBC. "I still have the audition tape."
He was hired for a temporary summer position and then filled on other vacations. The CBC offered Trebek a full-time position, which he accepted, but on the condition that he graduated from university first.
After graduation, he worked in Ottawa for two years before being transferred to the CBC's national headquarters in Toronto in the early 1960s. He hosted the Canadian equivalent of American Bandstand, a show called Music Hop. The program was his first taste of "celebrity," he recalled. He had done live TV in Ottawa but wrote: "No matter how much experience you have, live TV is always a challenge. If you screw up on TV – which I did – you better learn how to redeem yourself …
"The mess on live television taught me an important lesson about show business: learn to laugh at yourself."
Trebek was an all-rounder at CBC for 12 years. He covered sporting events like curling tournaments, the introduction of orchestras and ballet performances, and hosted quiz shows like Reach for the Top, where Canadian students competed for scholarships to share his memories. He started thinking about a career in America.
Enter his Canadian compatriot Alan Thicke.
Trebek met Thicke when he hosted a variety show called After Noon and Thicke appeared on it. Known for his role as Jason Seaver on the hit TV show Growing Pains in the 1980s and early 90s, Thicke was also a songwriter who composed TV theme songs and produced several shows. Thicke, who now lives in Los Angeles, called Trebek about a new game show he was working on called The Wizard of Odds.
In 1973 Trebek was hired to host The Wizard of Odds, but left the CBC after another 13 weeks. He moved to LA. "I wasn't sad to leave Canada," he wrote, adding that his sister Barbara also lived there. "Back then it really felt like a small town …
& # 39; I was in pig heaven. I've been where things happened. The center of the entertainment industry. Not making a lot of money, but enough to comfortably survive in a new apartment. I had a great time. & # 39;
& # 39; It just happened to Jean. Sometimes you know Sometimes you look at something, you look at someone and you know. I mean, you've heard stories from people who met within half an hour and decided, "I knew this would be the person I would end up with." And that was the case with Jeanie. I wasn't looking for love But with Jean I recognized at stomach level that there was someone here who would complete me as a person, "wrote Trebek about his wife Jean in his memoir The Answer Is… Reflections on My Life. The couple had been married for 30 years, traveled the world and ran a charitable foundation together. They can be seen above at the opening of a show in Hollywood in May 1990
When Trebek met Jean Currivan, he was already hosting Jeopardy! and divorced. Currivan was in the accounting department for one of his friends the weekend they were introduced. & # 39; She was the most charming person I had ever met; not only polite, but also exudes a warmth that shows character and spirituality. And she was gorgeous. & # 39; When his friend invited Trebek to a dinner party, he asked Currivan to be there too. Then we started dating. I don't know if Jeanie was as instantly sure about me as I was. I think at first she might have thought I was a bit of an idiot, "he wrote. The couple above in 1995
The couple married in April 1990 and had their first child, Matthew that year. Their daughter Emily was born in 1993. "We always had dinner together, which is very different from what I grew up with," he wrote. "To be honest, I followed Jean in parenting. She is the calming influence. She has a more understanding personality than me. It is not rigid. & # 39; In his book, he remembered his children doing their homework or playing games after dinner. & # 39; You haven't seen Jeopardy! very often. Watching television wasn't a must for them. They knew their father was hosting a television quiz show. & # 39; Above the couple in 2014
In The Answer Is… Reflections on My Life, Trebek wrote, "The hardest thing about fatherhood is that it introduced an element of fear into my life. When you're a bachelor, you do all sorts of stupid, daring things. You don't fear too much for your life. You don't worry about anything. But when you're married and have a family, you worry. & # 39; Above Matthew, Emily, Trebek, Jean and Nicky, his first wife's daughter
33-year-old Trebek was the "talented newcomer to radio" who made connections and attended dinner parties. In his memoirs he wrote about the fact that he had no vice: not smoking, drinking, or using drugs. "I don't really drink that much. After seeing my father drink, I never cared, "he recalled.
So he decided to "add more salt" to his language, wrote Trebek and joked in his memoirs about the "revelation" he swears.
The Wizard of Opportunities, focused on math, lasted a year. In 1974 Trebek put on a show called High Rollers, a game about throwing the dice. In September he also married Elaine Callei, a former Playboy rabbit he met in Toronto.
She hosted a few television programs, including a daily talk show, which was groundbreaking for how openly she addressed sexual issues. She was married before and had a daughter named Nicky. It was around six when Elaine and I met, and sweet when everyone comes out, "he wrote.
The newlyweds bought a house on Mulholland Drive, and Callei invited Trebek's mother, Lucille, to live with them on the property and raise Nicky. Trebek wrote that it was a "wonderful arrangement".
Trebek and Callei were married until 1981. "I didn't know what was expected of me as a husband. Elaine and I were both too reluctant to give up our respective points of view, and neither were we willing to compromise, "he said, according to an unauthorized biography, Who is Alex Trebek ?, by Lisa Rogak.
Trebek wrote that their divorce was amicable and that his mother Lucille continued to look after Nicky. He brought a house across from them. In his memoir, he noted, "My relationships with Elaine and Nicky remain strong. Although I never adopted Nicky – her birth father was alive at the time – I refer to her as my daughter through osmosis. & # 39;
Professionally, Trebek fought for a permanent appearance in the 1970s. "My career in those early years in Los Angeles was a bit unpredictable and unusual. I have been offered to host jobs for all types of shows. & # 39;
In addition to The Wizard of Odds and two Stints High Rollers, he hosted Double Dare, a show in which doctoral students competed against each other in isolation cabins, battlestars and pitfalls.
'This has been a difficult time in my life. My father had cancer and Elaine and I had just divorced. I needed the money for my new house. The job was supposed to pay me $ 49,000, which was a fair amount of dough back then, "he wrote of Pitfall, which aired in the early 1980s.
He was paid for the first 13 weeks of the show, but his second check for the next part of the time was not cleared. He posted this check on the wall behind his desk.
"If you've lost the count by now, that's seven jobs in ten years. I've never been frustrated with the lack of continuity over those years. That's just business. For all the shows that are hits, there are a dozen more that are not. I was just happy to have a job. There's a lot to be said when you're in the entertainment industry …
"When I was invited to host another show, this one called Jeopardy !, I was ready."
Trebek recalled in his memories a childhood surrounded by his extended family in Sudbury and for a time in Toronto. He often watched his uncles, who were under construction, building and painting, and spent time in the kitchen with his father, who was a cook. Trebek studied philosophy at the University of Ottawa because classes were held in the mornings to free the afternoons and evenings for work. He wrote, "I had no money, and neither did Dad, so I had to pay for my way through school with part-time jobs like processing tax forms for the Canadian Revenue Service." Above Trebek in an undated photo, probably in the late 1950s or early 1960s
During his studies, he worked for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and after graduating had a full-time position. After 12 years at CBC, he moved to Los Angeles in 1973 to host The Wizards of Odds. In September 1974 Trebek married Elaine Callei, a former Playboy bunny he met in Toronto.

It was around six when Elaine and I met, and sweet as everyone else, "he recalled in his memoir. Above the couple in an undated photo. They divorced in 1981
Over the years Trebek has been asked about retirement and who should replace him as host. He wrote: & # 39; Danger! will good. It doesn't matter who the host is. It's a quality program … there are other hosts who can do as good a job as me. I think danger! can go on forever. & # 39; Trebek joked that Betty White should replace him. The audience wants someone who is younger, someone who is funnier. Betty and I have been friends for a long, long time, "he told Good Morning America in July 2020. Above Trebek and White in 1982
Luck and timing played a part in Trebek's endangerment !, he wrote. While hosting Battlestars – a show where celebrities competed against each other and resembled Hollywood Squares – he agreed to represent Chuck Woolery on Wheel of Fortune. Woolery, who hosted the show from 1975 to 1981, was in the hospital. Pat Sajak has hosted Wheel of Fortune since 1981.
This favor was remembered by Merv Griffin, the famous talk show host whose production companies were the forces behind Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! Were. Griffin wanted Jeopardy! Revive, which, according to Trebek's memoir, first aired for six months from 1964 to 1974 and 1978 again.
Danger! should be paired with wheel of fortune. Trebek accepted the job and the first episode with him aired on September 10, 1984. Trebek recalled the challenges of those early years and how the show "struggled to get people to watch".
When Trebek met Jean Currivan, it was Jeopardy! was on steady footing. Currivan was in the accounting department for one of his friends the weekend they were introduced. & # 39; She was the most charming person I had ever met; not only polite, but also exudes a warmth that shows character and spirituality. And she was gorgeous. & # 39;
When his friend invited Trebek to a dinner party, he asked to include Currivan as well. Then we started dating. I don't know if Jeanie was as instantly sure about me as I was. I think at first she might have thought I was a bit of an idiot. & # 39;
The couple married in April 1990 and celebrated their 30th anniversary in 2020.
"I have another framed picture in my office, near the game show producer's framed check that stiffened me. Jeanie gave it to me. It's a line from our favorite film, Wuthering Heights: "Whatever our souls are made of yours and mines, they are the same." That's how I see our relationship. We are one soul in two bodies. & # 39;
Shortly after they were married, they had their son Matthew in 1990 and daughter Emily in 1993. He wrote, "The hardest thing about fatherhood is that it brought an element of fear into my life. When you're a bachelor, you do all sorts of stupid, daring things. You don't fear too much for your life. You don't worry about anything. But when you're married and have a family, you worry. & # 39;
He noted in his book that Jeopardy! He had two long days a week to spend time with his family. And they always ate dinner together, unlike when he grew up.
His father George died after Trebek's divorce from his first wife in the 1980s, and his younger sister Barbara died of breast cancer in 2007. His mother Lucille, who lived with Trebek on his property, died at the age of 95.
Trebek published his cancer diagnosis in early 2019, writing that there were moments he wished he hadn't. Even so, he was touched by the support he received from Jeopardy! Viewers about the disease and over the decades. "I really can't say enough how grateful I am for the fans of our show. I try to show that gratitude as much as possible, "he wrote.
After almost 8,000 episodes of Jeopardy! and honored with several awards including Emmys, he wrote that he would like to be remembered. & # 39;First and foremost as a good and loving husband and father and also as a decent man who did his best to help people do their best. Because that was my job. That's what a host is supposed to do. & # 39;
& # 39; Our writers and researchers were at Jeopardy! that's how long I often joke that working for the show is an annuity. You're always working on questions, "he wrote. The answer is … reflections on my life. "The writers, God bless them, are really astute. They won a lot of Emmys and they deserved them. You can take a mundane fact and make it very entertaining. & # 39; The show won 35 Emmys. Above Trebek on the set for the 28th season of Jeopardy! in September 2011
During the two long days, Trebek recorded the quiz show. He wrote that he was in the studio at 6 a.m. and had gone through all the notices for the five shows that day. He circled all of the clues he wanted to talk about at the 9am production meeting. Then it was makeup and getting dressed. "Before the show starts, I'll be backstage trying to figure out what to say when I go out. Since I don't want to repeat myself at the opening of the show, I try to find different ways of greeting the audience … your job is to keep it fresh, keep it alive and keep your viewers interested. What's going on? ", It says in his memoir. Trebek, above, at the 33rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles in April 2006
Trebek announced he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in early 2019 and wrote about chemotherapy in his memoir. Above, he and Jean talk about the diagnosis and their difficult treatment on ABC News. "I don't know what I would do without her," he wrote of Jean. "What I discovered in all of this is how difficult it is for caregivers and family members who care for the sick. Jean is not complaining, but I do worry about the toll it will take on her. I worry, as does Matthew and Emily. & # 39;
Trebek with his family: his son Matthew, Nicky, the daughter of his first wife and his daughter Emily. In his memoirs he wrote: "I am the typical product of my generation: a hard-working breadwinner who looks after his family; performs all the repairs he can do around the house; likes to watch TV; and thinks a simple dinner of fried chicken, broccoli, and rice is okay, thank you very much. & # 39;
Alex Trebek, above, in 2012. The host volunteered for charitable purposes, made donations for purposes and universities and founded a charitable foundation with his wife Jean. He wrote: "Curiosity has always been a very important factor in my life – across all subjects. It's a thirst for knowledge. I have a standard motto, and it's very short: "A good education and a kind heart will serve you well for a lifetime." In his memoir, he wrote that he was not afraid of dying. "I have lived a good, fulfilling life and I am nearing the end."

Taking over as head winemaker at one of South Africa's most iconic estates is challenging enough, but reinvigorating a brand with such a legacy takes skill, patience, tact and a lot of knowledge. As News editor Joanna Goodman discovered, Chris Williams, one of the Cape's leading young winemakers, was just the man for the job.
The Meerlust Estate, ten miles south of Stellenbosch and just three miles from the sea, is wonderfully situated and enjoys a long-held reputation for producing wines of world-class quality. It was founded in 1693 and is currently in the safe hands of Hannes Myburgh whose family bought the estate in 1757. Hannes, himself a qualified winemaker, provides guidance and works closely with the winemaking team (he will be talking to members about his wines later this month at a tutored tasting in London). The wines, notably the top cuvée Rubicon, are probably the Cape's best known and have earned a dedicated following around the world but particularly at home in South Africa. When long-standing head winemaker Giorgio Dalla Cia decided to retire in 2004, Hannes was keen to get Chris Williams on board.
Chris was an obvious choice as, after graduating from Elsenburg College in Stellenbosch, he did his apprenticeship at Meerlust, working alongside Dalla Cia for six years. 'I learned a lot from Giorgio when I was his assistant but I could also see that changes needed to be made. Everything has to change and new energy and new ideas are a good thing so long as they are tempered by reflection.' When Chris came back to the estate in 2004 (after working in Europe alongside, among others, Michel Rolland and developing his own wine, The Foundry, at home), he knew that he had to make the big changes in the first year. It would be much harder to persuade the accountants in particular to make some of the more radical changes later on.
The first year was about re-establishing Meerlust as a great producer with a big push over the following four years to modernise the wines by reviewing the processes in vineyard and cellar. The goal was to make them more vineyard-based. 'We had to reinvigorate the brand for a younger population,' Chris explained. 'We made a conscious effort to become more open, encouraging visitors to the estate and introducing cellar-door sales.' In order to concentrate on what they do best and play to the strengths of the vineyards, they decided to discontinue some wines.
One of the ways they have achieved this is to use a mobile bottling line rather than bottling off-site, giving them more control over what happens to the wines.
But Chris is most excited about the work that has taken place in the vineyards which will be of more long-term benefit. 'I looked at the whole estate and grubbed up vines that were in the wrong place and those with viruses.' Pinot noir was the easiest to deal with. They only have a few sites and as it's such a sensitive variety it's quick to show which changes work and which don't – 'the canary in the coalmine' as Chris calls it. Though the estate is blessed with a variety of different soil types, limestone is not among them, so Chris had to content himself with replanting pinot in cooler sites.
Happily cabernet and merlot were largely in the right place. The decision was also taken to plant petit verdot on northfacing slopes. Chris says the good natural acidity of this variety will bring freshness to the Rubicon blend in which it is included from the 2008 vintage.
Dividing up the vineyards this way gave the winemaking team a lot more parcels to play with, allowing the blends to be fine-tuned in a way they hadn't been before. 'It made the process more complex but the improvements in quality were exponential,' Chris told us.
