This has been discussed within another thread recently, and possibly has had its own thread too some time before I became a regular visitor here. We saw two appearances each by Badger, Niska and YoSafBridge. Is it likely that Jubal Early would have returned if the series had continued a full season? What with everything else Joss is probably going to include in the Big Damn Movie, I find it unlikely that we will see Jubal then, but how about when Firefly returns as a regular series?
Is there anyone who thinks that Jubal died? Not me. I think one of two things happened. He had some way to control his ship remotely and programmed it to pick him up. The other alternative someone else mentioned recently. Could River have programmed the ship to home in on a signal from Jubal's spacesuit?

"Could River have programmed the ship to home in on a signal from Jubal's spacesuit?"
Forget the suit signal; this is River we're talking about. She probably calculated the trajectory of Jubal's bounce off his ship and with a combination of precognition and raw mathimatical power estimated exactly where she wanted him to be when the ship picked him up and pre-entered the flight plan.

Honestly, I think Jubal died and wouldn't/won't be back. Yes the other two INCREDIBLE guest stars reappeared but nothing occured to make you think that they had died. While seeing Jubal's character would be fun, i don't think it's really the type of thing that Joss and co would go for just cause it almost seems like too easy of a story. My opinion only:)

Going slightly of topic for a minute but I saw a couple of eps of good vs evil the other day and it took me about ten minutes to figure out where I knew the actor from. It seemed like a pretty good show it was something Id wanted to watch before but Id never gotten chance.
Back on topic I would have been a little bit suprised if we saw Jubal again but you never know with Joss.

I just think that joss left Jubal's death ambiguous because he was such a great character that, if he wanted to, he could bring him back in the future for a needed role in an as yet unrealized story.

If you watch closely at the end of OiS you can see the reflection of a ship approaching in Early's visor.

Richard Brooks also played Assistant District Attorney Paul Robinette during the first few seasons of "Law and Order" and he was the head 'bad guy' in the second "Crow" movie.

I just checked and Veteran is right, there is a ship reflected in the visor. From the shape of it I think it's more likely to be Jubals ship than a reflection of Serenity.

I just checked too, and while there is a reflection, I couldn't tell if it was his ship or not, but definitely not Serenity.
Perhaps that was what Early meant by "here I am." I had always thought it was more of his existential philosophy at work, but perhaps he was talking to his ship.
