Excellent episode. Great for Firefly fans and those who even haven't seen the show yet.
To many great scenes and great lines to post in a short amount of time. How about Jayne and his going to his bunk? or how my Kaylee freezes up and how River responds?
Just like Joss said, Great episode!

I really love River kicking some ass. I am never getting over that. I mean, that's on par with the jet engine thing. "No power in the 'verse can stop me!"
I also love Mal and Wash's "conversation" over electricity. And Wash's about-face on his opinion of Mal. Personally, this is yet another reason they should have shown the original pilot. There is alot more foreshadowing about the Mal/Wash confrontation there.
And the whole thing with, "Hold on. I think this is something the captain has to deal with himself." "No it's not!" "All right, then."
Oohhh! Ohhh! Annd the whole part with "Him. Oh, you were going to make me choose right? Do you want to finish?"
Oh, and by the way, this is me gushing. Roswell may be dead, but it is not gone. :)

I love that flick. When Trinity's all, "Dodge this" and the agent just crumples to the and I'm not really instilling any awe anymore, am I?

Holy Cow! This series is so great! What an excellent episode... not just for Firefly, but for TV in general. I was laughing so load I was scaring my cat. Jayne and 'I'll be in my bunk'... too funny. And how often does a sci-fi series get a 'parental guidance' warning attatched to it! Violent, yes. Man, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I was sure that someone was going to die. And someone did. Not who I expected, but thats just some great writing...

"No power in the Universe can stop me."
I'm not as sure that that was intended to be funny.
Kaylee was obviously a little spooked.
(I remember one time, I joked about taking over the
world. There were people who thought I was serious.
That kinda scared me...)
I loved how Zoe just said 'him'.

yeah, I saw that warning, and I was like, Yeah! Those warnings always make me really happy. Yes, Joss pissing off the religious right, one episode at a time.

I am even more intrigued by Book's history now! He knows a hell of a lot about evil dictators and weaponry. I think shepherding is a second career for him.
Also I'd just like to voice appreciation for the quick shots of a shirtless Simon for next week. Yummmmm...

Boy, not to scare anyone but I was just checking out the FOX Firefly board and they have this awful discussion going on about Inara's scene with a woman. Theres bible verses and all sorts of derogatory terms beeing thrown around for gay and bisexual people. The world can be a scary place sometimes.
Thats why this board is so great. Everyone here has a love for this show and gets along kinda like on Firefly except for that whole "why Firefly deserves to die" thing.
Can't wait for next week. I'm gonna rewatch Inara's scene a couple of times and then I'll be in my bunk.

My thought when I saw that scene: "They made her into a killing machine!" I think we just solved THAT mystery...

Possibly an assassin who looks cute and harmless so her victim won't suspect?
Or if you had a whole army of psychics, then your HQ would always know exactly where its soldiers were and what was going on at all times. Powerful stuff.

Yes, I agree Xeriar and Soleta! The way Kaylee looked at River after she did she what did and then again when she looked up and saw River on the stairs, she was spooked.
I think they did make River to be some kind of weapon. She knows what will happen before it does, she seems to be able to read minds, why not also make her a killing machine? Plus, there were like three guys coming at them, and River didn't even have to look to kill them. That says killing machine to me.
Something's going down tonight! Something with the man!
Two by two. Hand of blue.
