I hope we can save the show somehow but on a lighter note how about this episode? Wash had quite a few good lines as did everyone.

First point Book and Jayne's thoughts when River seemed to be feeling their emotions.

Jayne "I got greedy, the money was too good"
Book "I don't give half a hump if your innocent or not. So where does that put you?"

Jayne is the only member of the crew that River does not contact to help with her plan.

When Simon sees the shepard knocked out Early states "That ain't no shepard".

Does Early possibly know something? Do they know each other? Also why was he so upset about being knocked out? just being manly around "Jayne "If wishes were horses we'd all be eating steaks"?" But my main question is what does his quote mean? It also seemed to be in a very nasty tone of voice.

Mal "give your brother a thrashin for messing up your plan"

Wow, this seems to be Rivers plan from the start? having Mal kick the guy into space and getting him and everyone else to trust her is impressive. Maybe that's why Jayne wasn't contacted?

Great acting job by Summer and anothet great episode.

"Heh, that's a very funny question to ask a telepath... since we spend so much of our time in other peoples' minds.

Decent episode.
It employed some interesting editing effects to convey River's telepathy (or empathy).

But overall I think the ball stayed in the park on this one. I'd call it a triple. The run did eventually score (on three consecutive walks), but "Objects in Space" wasn't a home run for me as Firefly's last four or five episodes in a row have been.

I found the episode lagged in places. Too much talking to thin air. I thought some of the space walking shots looked cheesy. I was disappointed in how the story glossed over Easy's method of entry into the ship. Does Firefly have no depressurization alarms?

I have to admit, I feel weird saying this about a Whedon helmed episode. But this is my impression.

I did enjoy Jubal Early the strangely philosophical bounty hunter. It would be fun to see him again somehow (perhaps he'll be picked up alive -- but hopefully not by Reavers or Blue Hands).

I bet this episode grows on me.

my favorite scene is when jayne finally wakes up from the noise and pulls the curtian down exposing all his weapons then uses the curtain as a blanket and goes back to sleep...

I like how focused River gets when necessary. Her sanity is very mission oriented.

Just don't wear your Blue Sun t-shirt during the down time.

hey i found something...

Jubal Early, Major General, forty-six, commander of one of Ewell's divisions. A dark, cold, icy man, bitter, alone. Left the Point to become a prosecuting attorney, to which he is well suited. A competent soldier, but a man who works with an eye to the future, a slippery man, a careful soldier; he will build his reputation whatever the cost. Dick Ewell defers to him. Longstreet despises him. Lee makes do with the material at hand. Lee calls him "my bad old man."

This is a direct quote from the book "The Killer Angels" by Michael Shaara. The book is a fictional acount of the battle of Gettysburg. I also have read that this book was partialy insperational to Joss for creating Firefly...very interesting.

The only person River didn't get a message from at the beginning of the ep was Kaylee. Wonder why?
Will these quotes mean more as time passes?

Probably Kaylee is the only one on the ship without some deep untold secret. My guess is thats why River likes hanging out with her. She doesn't have to deal with two conflicting images.

Just figured I would throw this info out. WHat River sees Jayne saying is exactly what he said when he was gonna get shot out the airlock. What Simon said was somehting from a prev ep also. So these 2 represent the past.

She sees what Zoe and Wash are doing, present.

She sees what Mal and Enara are going to say , future.

I wonder if what Book was saying was past also, I have seen in another post that Jayne may have confessed to Book, hence all the time they have been spending toghter.

Thoughts? :)

I really wonder about what she heard from Book. I know that he isn't what he appears to be. He's got dark ghosties in his past. But I wonder if that really was past, or maybe future? Maybe the good Shepard has a crisis of faith?

ZOE: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing?
BOOK: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.
