6. That pole licking thing was just gross. Talk about un-hygienic, he has no idea what was on that *shudder* Ew
5. He just comes in and beats half the crew up, that’s just rude.
4. He talks too much. Enough said.
3. That outfit. I don't know why, but I it annoyed me, could've been the colour, I don't know.
2. He killed a dog, why would you do that?
1. Reasons 6-2 are things that eventually I might be able to get over. But the second, the SECOND you threaten Kaylee, you have dug your grave. No-one gets away with that.
So these are my reasons, do you agree, disagree, have more?
This is my first post, be kind.

I'm not disagreeing with you here, 'cause frankly, Jubal Early is a bad, bad man.

But the pole licking? If you take a closer look, that's the exact spot River was standing bare foot earlier in the episode when was listening to the group. It was still gross (and he probably got space herpies from licking the ship).

He didn't just kill 'a dog', he tortured all the neighbourhood pets, which is why the dog his mother owned never liked him. It smelled the other animals on him. Torturing animals is actually one of the classic signs of a serial killer (along with bed wetting and experimentation with arson) that authorities look for.

And you're kinder than me, 'cause I wouldn't be able to get past points 6 - 2, without even getting to #1.

But, yes, threaten Kaylee and prepare to be *hated* forever more.

Great observation, I missed that connection before. Now this whole licking stuff makes a creepy kind of sense...

...and I like Jubal even less.

Jubal reminds me a bit of the Joker, especailly the Joker from "On a Beautiful Summer's Day, He Was". He's definitely got some sociopathic tendencies.

His clothes reminded me of Michael Jackson's Thriller suit. We must have been on crack to think that it was once in, hip and trendy. Jubal looked absolutely awful in it, but then again, we haven't seen him wear anything else.

Oh, and I also hated his psycho personality, which drove me absolutely bonkers

I loved the character, actor, outfit and the licking. Yeah, he had some evil in him but he was my fav guest character.

The pole licking thing really made me jealous, cause I should be the one licking where river was standing.

Great observation on the pole licking, I thought that it might have something to do with that but was unaware if he had found something or not. Your observation made it clear that he did find something or know something.

Just one more thing, I have been told Jubal Early was a I beleve a General back in the civil war of the US and is somehow connected to Nathan Fillion. But then I wondered why would they want a past relative to be so hated. I later found out from the book:-

" Finding Serenity : Anti-Heroes, Lost Shepherds and Space Hookers in Joss Whedon's Firefly (Smart Pop series) by Glenn Yeffeth (Editor), Jane Espenson (Editor) "

that Jubal Early is the vice president of programming for the Fox Network. He wrote some letters in reply to Joss Whedon's letters to him. He (Jubal) is an absolute idiot. I believe that the name was used specifically for a deeper meaning for Joss. I wouldn't be surprised if that is partly how he wrote the script for that episode..."Objects in Space"

Stay Shiny everyone...

Pole licking? You guyz are going over the edge, and you are all way past the red line.

Hey, those were very expensive motorcycle leathers! Do you know how much those must have cost Fox?
