Firefly 1x5 | Watch Along

Probably my least favourite episode; Mal is just a little too much of an asshole and the village folk are jarring even for a show like this. It doesn't scream "thought-out". Still, the flashbacks are very good and I really love Jayne's absurdity. Sean Maher who plays Simon is given the bulk of dramatics to deal with in this episode and he comes across as dorkily endearing while also carrying a visible steel and capability. Episode belongs to him, of course.

I love seeing Summer Glau dance and the joy on River's face, but the rest of this episode is a miss for me.

Yeah, they went pretty Mammy on the black woman in this episode. Misguided attempt at making a post-racial society, i think. This episode was a weaker one. The early 2000s was a time where "I don't see color" was a viable defense for racism and I think this channeled that to a certain extent.

Everyone thinks Mal is awful in this episode but I see his point of view. Shepherd was hurt and they didn’t have a lot of time to search a planet for the doc. Get him help and circle back, which I think was always the plan.

*So* accurate about Jayne, maybe that's why he was my favorite character on first watch--in a way he's the semi-feral 'pet' of the group, always good for a line, not much going on upstairs, with just a hint of human complexity ('the man they call Jayne,' the hat) for contrast.

No one caught a young Zack Efron playing as the young Doc?

Anybody else using Plex to watch this? It's so annoying that they tag the episodes and thumbnails using the original television airing order instead of the correct DVD order. Can't figure out how to fix it.

Diegesis

This is the only order i've ever known

Please start Dexter at some point I think the ladies would like it a lot ☺️

Pyt

Arianna clocked it immediately lol

Who is "they" in this scenario? Diegesis team has it running in the DVD order which is the correct order to watch the show. The only way to fix it is to get Hulu or look up an episode guide.

I love Dexter, I would never subject anyone to seasons 3, 5,6,7,8, of the show. There are plenty of shows that I love but I would never suggest a reaction channel to watch every episode of.

My video files are in the correct order, but when I add them to my Plex server, it tags them in the TV airing order. I guess the only way to fix it is to edit the data for each episode by hand.

Modern day "Witch"! mania... is "Nazi"! mania. Just saying :)

I guess I viewed Mal’s actions in this one a little differently…Not saying he’s not an ass, he definitely is…but he had two problems, and one seemed much more pressing: Book’s bleeding bullet wound. If it was true that Hillfolk were trying to kidnap trades people, that probably meant they were not usually going to be eager to kill them, so Simon and River likely (barring any religious hysteria) were not in as much danger. Meanwhile, Mal deciding to go to an Alliance cruiser (which even he recoiled at at first) also showed that when it was life and death…the life of Book was more important to him than his pride. And to a degree, like Simon, Mal isn’t necessarily fond of Book yet…Mal’s post-religion viewpoint had already come up a couple of times as he needled Book about God and faith. But life mattered more to him. Anyways, I still love the final shot of this episode “Home”, with the entire group, no matter what they think of each other, sitting down for a friendly meal in their home…something we never saw in Simon’s flashbacks of his own home. It took me a few watching to catch the importance of that final, extended, closing shot without any dialogue.

He cares about his crew above all. One of his crew was dying, and it forced him to make a choice. As soon as that was resolved, he went to find his other missing crew. Mal is many things, sassy and rude among them, but a love for those he's responsible for is chief among them.
