Do you think Saffron actually got arrested afterward? I think there was a report of a Fed cruiser stolen and found later, with the officer unconscious and smiling...

The thing that confuses about this episode and the Episode 'Trash' is the connection between Simon/River and Saffron. In 'Trash', Mal ordered Simon/River to stay in their bunk in case Saffron might see them and report both of them to the nearest Alliance Cruiser, but when you go back to OMR, Simon actually does meet Saffron when Zoe calls the whole crew to the Cargo Bay area to meet her.And River meets Saffron in the deleted scene.



From the script, the confusing part was in Trash, just before Zoe decked her, she said get over it, nobody died, right? and then, looking around, asks or did they? where is that old gray haired guy? She remembered Book, but she does not see Simon or River in Trash, so why does she forget meeting them in OMR?
Haven't double checked the actual aired version of this scene for these lines, but the script was weird on that point.

Could be she saw Book as merely a passenger, and not as part of the 'crew'. Same w/ Simon and River.

Question....hopefully not dumb...
The guys in the room of the net-thing...one says it's junk, just a bunch of spare parts...then the other guy says yeah, but you put it together you got a Firefly, thing'll run forever with a half-decent mechanic (not exact quote )...So what gives with all that? Were they gonna keep it intact or tear it apart...and why tear it apart just to put it together again? Help!

They would capture it to sell as a whole ship, after removing the fried bodies.

Thanks JSF. It seems to me a very limited and silly "operation" due to the realities of the enormity of space. How many ships are gonna ever even fly into that thing, unless they have other "agents" like Saffron steering helpless ships into it?

That's exactly what they do. We never see it, but Mal states he will stop by to visit Elder Gorham and repay his helping of Saffron. Saffron has sent many a ship to the net.

When you're stealing entire ships and killing entire crews instead of just small jobs like our BDH do, how often do you really need to sork to stay in business? That's why criminals do it, for the extra free time!

Hmmm....So you're saying that Elder Garmin ran some sort of criminal conspiracy from the planet using "girls waiting to be sold for trade" and all or some were evil-doers like Saffron? Or if it was just Saffron, how many times could she have done it...the "marraige", the deceptions, and then the delivery of the ships? Where did Monty meet her....same place?.. And what about the original bad guys at the beginning, shot by our BDHs...what's their relation to the Elder's or Saffron's enterprise? Also, isn't the Alliance nearby too; they arrived right after Serenity lifted off.

Gotta agree with jewelstaitefan: Elder Gommen (where did ya get Garmin?) ran a scam with Saffron. Or rather, Saffron ran one with him. She may have used him before, but I think Saffron would be smart enough to 'diversify' her crime to be done.
