River: Now the see the Sky they remember what they are.. Mel: is it bad that what she said makes perfect sense to me? The essence of Firefly.

@@jimbintz2424 The quiet element in that scene is Jayne. Just lookin. Just trying to figure it all out.

@@OpenMawProductions Jane is a natural right-winger tho, that is his normal stance. He doesn't understand most of what he encounters, what he DOES "understand" he misinterprets, and he "thinks" violence and a derogatory attitude are proper.

@@uncletiggermclaren7592 Half of what you said is not exclusive to a right wing perspective. I've known plenty of lefties who are perfectly okay with being derogatory in attitude and vocation, as well as resulting to violence to prove a point. Jayne's main problem is simply being a sometimes dim bulb. He still has a moral core that he demonstrates on several occasions. He knows, sometimes intrinsically what is the moral choice, without having to say it.

@@OpenMawProductions Everyone knows what is moral it isn't rocket-science, nothing could be more natural. Morality consists ONLY of not doing TO, or expecting OF, other people, something you would refuse to have done to or expected of yourself. No more, no less. RIGHT WING people are aware that what they do to others is immoral, and because they are scum, they do it anyway. Jane would not FOR A SECOND countenance the Dr or River telling him what to do, he would offer violence if they did it, but just think of how often he tried to dictate to them. That is why he is scum. Right wing people are FRIGHTENED and confused, because their nature MAKES them so. And they are too weak minded to control themselves. Just you think to yourself about all the natural right wing stances and preoccupations. ALL seated in a deep fear of reality. Frightened of strange coloured people. Frightened of changes to their menus. Frightened of the Workers. Frightened of Science. Frightened of death ( that is why religion is such a sop and crutch to them even though 99% of them don't really believe, because HOW can you really believe in fairy-stories in a world where everything has been studied and turned into Science ? ) Now, you won't be honest and admit that you know my points are valid, because, well, that whole thing where you lie like your world view depends upon it. But your mind WORKS underneath that shell of prejudice, how else? So actually you read my words, and admitted their truth to yourself. I win, you are right wing scum.

That was mostly, if not entirely, Joss Whedon I believe.

Guess not as good but yet another Cowboy Bebop comparison

Long as she does it quiet like.

I always laugh!!

Is it bad that what she says makes parfect sense to me?

She can kill you with her brain, and then melt into the ship! 😮

That was my thought as well during that scene.

I think we get it because in some ways we have all experienced it

I felt that way when my family visited Seattle, Las Vegas, Reno, etc. Too many people in a confined space and not enough nature. Getting back to the Cascades everything went back to being right.

This show aired in 2002 the same year Powerangers Wildforce aired 💜Summer auditioned for the Role of Alyssa 💌💟enrile tiger ranger she lost it to Jessica Rey after not getting the part she caught the eye of Joss Whedon and she's Infamous on her Role in this Scifi Groovy showe as well as Terminator chronicles

She really is amazing. She is one of the most versatile, yet underrated, actresses of our time. (K. Obviously, i am a fan. Lol)

Very true

@@thegirltam3098 had a huge Crush on her she's Undeniably Beautiful loved her in Terminator Chronicles

Yes she did. 🤪

+kitten123able Badger

Especially considering now that the Devil's made him his doggy.

well its true

@@Namewriter Crowley in a different show - he plays King of Hell and is arguably still a sad little king.

Supernatural, Firefly and Dr Who Kind of jealous, really.

pure genious between them all

"Everything she did, music, math, theoretical physics, even dance, there was nothing that didn't come as naturally to her as breathing comes to us."

That is… actually my top favorite River scene

She was a professional dancer before getting this role. She did the Reaver Scene in Serenity herself, no stunt double. Also kicking Jane's butt!

​@@pamelalandon2423oh and Zhang Ziyi and Bruce Lee were dancers before they did a thing of note

Amen brother🌺🌺🌺 Miss this show so much. It was and always will be a masterpiece. God bless em all🌺🌺🌺

I see what you did there. Great Supernatural reference!

Решил глянуть впервые сериал, ну с этого момента посмеялся знатно, будущего короля ада уделала будущая Кэмерон😊😊😊😂😂😂

Except for the scary hair!

You speak sooth.

Most people look for perfection so intensely that they don't realize it when they find something better.

And Jayne believed her.

@@neilkurzman4907 You didn't?

@@detectivefoxley9912 I don’t disbelieve her.

@@neilkurzman4907 Definitely not a theory I'd want to test.

that scene was the best!

Maybe you know that she was literally, a prima ballerina.

And the one where she literally blows everyone away without looking

"No Power in the 'Verse can stop me."

River's Cockney accent gets me hot under the collar 😍

lol reminds me of when I was nannying and cut my hair. Took days before the kiddies stopped being leery of me

I had a similar thing happen with a friend's 7yo daughter. I had long hair, and a 6 - 8 inch long beard at the time. Met up with the group as we were going to go mountain biking, and it was the first time the kid had met me. She hid behind her mum, hugged her leg for dear life and said "He's not coming with us, is he?" Best. Reaction. Ever! That was on the Friday. By the Sunday she'd realised I was harmless and was trying to braid my beard...

Ikr

not accurate. she is loopy off the ship in the show and the film

@@crabtrap He didn't say "lucid". He said "more lucid". That means that she is an improved level of "loopy" rather than not "loopy" at all. (chuckle)

​@@Bropann Probably tied in with her line about the cows - in the artificial word of civilization, she forgets what she is. When she's away from it, she remembers what being human is. At least in part.

From Canada. (March 27 2024) My wife and I as well.. I have the whole series! Plus the movie! We go through all of it at least four times a year. 😊👍Sure wish it was still being filmed. 😢

Wouldn't say she insane. .More like a different version of sanity.

She's not insane. It's just loud with all that information.

@@river3163 PTSD from being turned into a living weapon, more likely.

three years later I will take your advice

Well now maybe it will be revived as The Mandalorian proved that Si-Fi space westerns can work in television and also they need Joss weadon back as writer and showrunner.

It truly is a shame. I don't think people really appreciated the subtlety and quirkiness that absolutely made it stand apart. I'm really hoping that they revive it through somebody who's worthy of the task.

@@Declan-pg8cg After seeing the Success that " The Expanse" fans had getting it onto Amazon, maybe we should re-look at starting a "Save Firefly" campaign again. Brown is the only colour. Unless it looks good in Red.

@@lancearn7332 I would absolutely love them to revive "Firefly" as they did "the Expanse". I'm actually in the middle of commission sculpting the main characters of the Expanse.

She WAS dancing, and she made it look effortless. That's the beauty of it. Summer is a trained ballerina.

I did the math.

"No power in the 'verse can stop me" (cue freaked out Kaylee stare)

technically not Firefly. that's from the film, not the show edit: I was wrong

@@ctmatthews11 Episode 10. "War Stories"

@@tmage23 wow, fast reply. thanks for correcting me

I thought it was meant to be ambiguous.

Matt Evans i dont think she can literally interact with the world with her mind. But she can get info that would let her kill him though.

sourskittlez_97 nope... she, and several other treated, can in fact kill with mind power... when escaping the hospital, two MIB types were doing just that.

SuperVstech No. they were using those weird stick things. If you notice the sticks extend, then we hear a high pitch sound and men start dropping. Im assuming its soundwaves that are tuned to vibrate blood vessels until they shake apart.

sourskittlez_97 thanks, I hate memory breaks...

She's so wierd. I love it

They're the cutest couple in the entire universe, how dare anyone want to tear them apart. And it would be such unnecessary drama.

Defending Wash and Zoe's marriage is a hill I would die upon.

And ironically today... IR couples are everywhere you see, in advertising, TV shows and film and theater. Same race couples are virtually non-existent.

I heard another guy talking about how his sitcom got taken off of fox because he also wouldn't break up his central couple. So like, either fox has an issue with functional marriages, or they just like to use break ups and divorces as cheap and easy drama rather than relying an actual narrative tension.

The albatros....

Got any clues? it's still baking my noodles

I loved space above and beyond too! Agree 💯

To Soon

@@brianwiseman8274 what do you mean by that

It was my favorite scene and hyped me up for more scenes like that. Unfornutely we never see river be badass after that. (She was too overwhelmed by everyones emotions to do anything cool. She was getting better at compensating but the show ended before she got better.)

@@rexerator We do in the movie though. I understand there was more of this to come if the franchise had been renewed

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8mZn5iJs721pIU.html

I came here to say what you just said.

Me too.

July 2020, still flying

once a brown coat always a brown coat

@Daniel Williamson During this Scifi Action thriller she was Almost beautiful Summer almost became a Poweranger but she ultimately was cast instead as River Tam

@@battlestar4293 She was meant for River Tam.

@@danielwilliamson6180 loved her In Terminator had a Huge Crush on her by her Beauty n Acting Performance she's a sweetheart inside n out

she tugs the old heart strings

It wasn't so much about turning her into an assassin, she could read minds at times and when the top-level people in the Alliance (I think it was) met with her, she learned some of their secrets, including about Miranda and the origin of the Reavers.

That's actually what a lot of her dialogue is. She's is constantly hearing everyone else's thoughts and can't always distinguish them from her own due to the torture she was put through.

Did she call simon a boob

It gets deeper when you realize she isn't talking about the Bible, she's talking about herself.

Why? So you can have the lesbian with feminist hair cut as the superheroe who has no problem kicking everyone's ass?

They attacked some station... With that ridiculous torturer I think.. Niza. Can't remember the episodes name

@@Zaluskowsky I don't want to know which episode it is. I want to know why it's not in this video :P

@@ArmyGuyClaude lmao ok

We all loved that I think lol.

Noah’s ark is a problem

It wasn't River's lines, tbh.

Akshay Mathur It was a moment that included River.

Book said that about "faith" not the Bible, but your point is still good. He also later made the point to Mal that "faith" did not need to be in God. Which fits more in line with what Kaylee said to Mal in the pilot... "you just have to have faith in people."

El Jison oh shit. you just completely changed the meaning of this series for me.

I don't think that most atheists are waiting to be suddenly surprised by a new interpretation that makes your bible "right." I am just living my life unencumbered by your BS.

"What am I going to do with you, bird?"

@@NightRunner417 ah, that scene
