I didn't really care for Early's outfit either. I kind of liked the look and design of it but the fact that it squeaked through the whole episode when he moved just made it seem like more of a costume than something the character would actually wear, especially trying to be stealthy.
I knew Nathan was related to the general Jubal Early, but what's this about a guy from Fox? I've never heard that one.

Same goes for me (excepting the licking bit) i thought he was one of the best characters in the show... I mean sure he was incredibly evil AND he threatened kaylee but he was just plain cool IMO absolutely methodical and cold blooded but cool all the same.
You can't deny the guy is a master of his work, he walked on the ship and eliminated everyone with no undue bloodshed, his only mistake was in taking the job of going for river...

I liked Jubal Early, mostly because he was not normal. Granted killing the dog was not needed info. When he threatened Kaylee it made my skin crawl, but over-all he was a likeable bad guy.

Its an observation so chill out...so people don't want to give up so early...what's it to you. Do you feel that you are the only one that see's clearly in all of this. You forget that the only reason the movie ever made it to the screen apart from universal taking the production is because of the fans. And one of the main reason's why the show isn't carrying on through a different network is because the fox network won't give up its rights to it. By the way, who determines where the red line is...you! If it upsets you to read these statements, then don't read them. Why do you even visit the site if you figure that its been and done for. Maybe you (RiveR6213) should question your own motives before you question other peoples.

Say what you will, but River was willing to be his "bounty." That places him at the head of the class for me!

" 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...
Jubal Early isn't really the vice president of programming for the Fox Network. The article in the book you mentioned says the letters are a joke right at the front of the article. The author was just having some fun.

I always liked the character. I just crack up every time I hear:
"Little man looooooved fire.."
Best guest actor and best villain. Far better than any reaver.
I'd be happy with a spin off.

I concur…..
Although everyone here understands that JE is a bad guy, he is the villain we love to hate. A lot of us feel sorry for the red leather wearing brut. Why? For a lot of what you’ve actually mentioned. The guy’s a complete nut-job, but funny as hell.
I will say that had the series continued I think we might have seen more of Mr. Early, or maybe he could come back when the series returns. Also it would be fun to have him join up with the Operative from the BDM and maybe start robbing banks on their own. There are all kinds of things could happen, the options are limitless.

Jubal definitely has antisocial personality disorder ( fancy term for a sociopath) and he is an evil guy, but he makes a great badguy mainly because he's creepy but rediculous all at the same time.
I too think its not apropriate for people to admit that they want to lick the pole River was standing by, but I'd rather they just talk about that then actually go take advantage of real life touched folk.
(insert uncomfortable face here).
But yeah, Jubal is a first class bad guy.
