I swear this series keeps getting better and better! My only disappointment...nobody fell in the muddy water! You can't give me a wood plank walkway, and not have anybody fall in! I feel so betrayed 😭

Firefly 1x07 Full Length Reaction

Oh man, the next episode Jacqui is widely, almost universally, considered to be the best episode of the series. Truly masterful story telling, and I can't wait for your production/practical commentary. I'm positive you're gonna see some detail that I, and a hundred others, having watched this series a dozen times or more missed. Keep up the great work, and congrats on going full time. Well earned and deserved.

I think it's hilarious you are hung up about no one falling in the mud lol.

Chris LaLonde

When I grow up, I wanna be a 26 year old virgin with an asshole for a father!!! 😂

Maybe no one fell in, but Jayne fell a bit as a man. I agree with the claim that the upcoming Episode 8 is astoundingly good... it's my favorite... but those that follow- 9-14 are simply a cut above the earlier episodes. It's a shame these folks were just hitting their stride when out of the blue the call came down.

It’s not talked about much, but I think Jayne is the character who loses the most from a short series that ended too early. He really just gets this episode, and a few random scenes for actual character moments…otherwise, he’s either played as a stereotype, a butt for jokes, or a minor antagonist. Yet…I think there were greater overall plans for him. The storyline wasn’t ever going to center around him, but I think the relationships he had/will find on the ship could’ve been really interesting…but I’ll probably make comments on that after we get towards the end, because there’s more to see. That said…a tiny moment of Jayne, not to absolve him of anything…but when “Stitch” is threatening Simon, Jayne looks at Simon for a second, and then throws a perhaps-too-honest “He ain’t one of mine” about Simon to confuse Stitch. That could just be a moment of Jayne’s blunt honesty working out, but then, as Stitch looks confused and stays focused on Simon, Jayne immediately engages and distracts him, letting Simon get away. This is not to say that Jayne likes Simon (he definitely does not), but it’s a moment that shows that Jayne has an end to his sadism and dislike. On a completely unrelated note, I love the fact that Inara spends the entire episode poised, confident, unshaken by awful people, everything as you describe her…except for one minute when she finds out people love Jayne, to the point where her words stop working and she just sputters out sounds for one line. Both of these are tiny moments that I rarely ever see anyone catch on, and in the moment, they are tiny…but when viewed in the contrast of the rest of the characters, I just love those little details!

So funny that right after Mal's deep moment about people needing to believe in something for belief's sake, you turn and go "where is my pratfall into the mud?!?!" The dichotomy is so representative of this show.

Jayne's a simple man, but he's complicated. He's not a good person, but he's fiercly loyal to those he cares about. It's just he doesn't care about others easily or often. We catch a glimpse in the pilot Serenity when Kaylee is shot and you see him outside the med bay and how concerned he is. He has a moral code but he's also accepted the reality that he's chosen a life that is full of betrayal and often an early, violent death, and he looks out for number one because it's the only way to survive in that life. Then he found Serenity.

I find it interesting that you feel Jayne was the most two-dimensional character up to this point in Firefly. For me, it was easily Zoë.

Talon Karrde

Maybe it's cause I have anxiety, but I feel really bad for Simon, so nervous not to say the wrong thing, he says the worst things.

Sean Dame

Best Firefly episode!

The more I watch this episode, the more I realize: the villain is more morally correct than the hero. Okay, technically, Stich is a secondary antagonist (Magistrate Higgins as the primary) and Jayne is somewhat low down on the hierarchy of Serenity protagonists, but the climax of the episode sets them up as Villain and Hero. Yet the villain is out for quite understandable revenge, and speaks passionately that Jayne broke the rule of "honor among thieves". While we know that Jayne choosing the money over his partner is perfectly in-character for him, part of his pattern of behavior that makes him Serenity's Token Evil Teammate. The only thing Stitch really did wrong is be opposed to the characters whose actors are in the opening credits. It's subverting a lot more stories; how many stories can you think of about a sympathetic criminal betrayed and nearly murdered by their partners-in-crime and seeking retribution for the wrong? How many stories about a villain seeking vengeance against the hero, but we know the hero doesn't really deserve it? Well, here, the Hero of Canton definitely deserved what came for him.
