Jayne was completely rude yes, but his character is kind of hard to get at first. Notice how he wanted to murder the fed right after kaylee was shot. Then how he was hunkered down drying his eyes outside the infirmary while she was being operated on. He loves her very much like a little sister he gets to pick on.

"You know, the bummer in reviewing something like Firefly is the possibility that I might not completely and totally convey how necessary it is for you to watch this show." -- Jeremy Jahns Welcome to the Browncoats. You're going to become a fan of this series, because its the type of show that you become a fan of kind of automatically just by watching. Its that good. Complex characters, complex stories, and enough chemistry among the cast you can make explosives out of them. The first episode has hints of things that will be explored in later episodes and in the Big Damned Movie. Mal's strength of character, Zoe's devotion to not only Mal but to Wash as well. Wash's absolute skill as a pilot. Jayne's particular code of honor. Shepherd Book and how it is he seems so good at fighting. Inara being more than her profession. Kaylee. Just Kaylee. And of course the Tam siblings. Welcome aboard. The ride's worth it.
@ItsAsparageese 3 жыл бұрын
This comment is beautifully worded, and does as much justice to the show as a short comment can. I love how you said "Kaylee. Just Kaylee." lol. Personally, my biggest travesty about the show -- other than the cancellation itself -- is that we didn't get at least five more minutes of screen time for Kaylee at The Shindig once she's chatting with the group of men. I could easily and delightedly watch a whole episode of just that scene extended. XD

He _is_ a bit of a prick, but so is Mal. And Zoe, and Jayne. The outer systems is not a place for refined and delicate people, unless they have someone to protect them. He is a fish out of water with a responsibility he doesn't really know how to handle. He would much rather be back in the central systems doing what he does best and is respected for. He loves his sister and would lay down his life for her, but the exile and the constant need to look over his shoulder is grating. He basically walks alone: his sister is only occasionally able to stand by his side. If only some kind, clever, down-to-earth but still romantic woman with a sunny disposition would take his hand and help him make a new home for himself in the outer systems, but what are the odds for that?

Ok about Inara's syringe: In a 2012 Science Channel special about “Firefly,” series writer and executive producer Tim Minnear explained: "She had this magic syringe. She would take this drug. And if she were, for instance, raped, the rapist would die a horrible death. The story was that she gets kidnapped by Reavers and when Mal finally got to the ship to save her from the Reavers, he gets on the Reaver ship and all the Reavers are dead. Which would suggest a kind of really bad assault. At the end of the episode, he comes in after she's been horribly brutalized, and he comes in and he gets down on his knee, and he takes her hand. And he treats her like a lady. And that's the kind of stuff that we wanted to do. It was very dark. And this was actually the first story that Joss pitched to me when he asked me to come work on the show. He said, 'These are the kind of stories we're going to do.'"

This series was a master class on character driven storytelling and writing. You have already picked up on Mal’s change after the war, happy before and angry now, Kaylee being a shining light, Zoe being one of a very few badass women on TV that wasn’t a single dimension character. You are supposed to feel the way you do about Jayne and Simon so there is different space for them to develop. Book is an unknown entity to you now but we will see. Inara is unique so her arc can really be fun too. As a military veteran I can tell you the interactions and language between Mal, Zoe and Jayne is pretty accurate as to how we treat each other. I am so very happy you have started this journey. If when it ends, as all good things must, you feel a little empty hole in your soul, you can check out Dark Matter, it doesn’t fill the void but it helps a little.

I was a maneuver developed by the Russian submariners (hence "crazy Ivan" ) to check to see if any US subs were following behind, i.e. in their baffles . The counter to the crazy Ivan was for the US sub to cut power and drift forward as the Russian sub passed around behind them.

When all is said and done, and the series is over, you need to follow it up with Serenity (the movie) it takes place a few months-year or so after the events of the series. It finishes up on the Reaver's and River's stories. If you want Booker's story, sadly you will have to go to the "Leaves on the Wind" Graphic Novel through Dark Horse.
