Joining in now... only a couple years late haha.
Mals face when his angels leave him is heartbreaking
I forgot how visually appealing this show is. I love the colour scheme and the costuming. Some shows seem to forget the art extends beyond scripts and acting. The camera work speaks volumes alone. I don't know if this quality could have kept up for more seasons. It sometimes feels like Joss has to dull down his brilliance for the masses.
Fresh food is a luxury where I am too, that part of it is a realistic portrayal of the future in my opinion. Jaynes on to it haha. Mal does well to keep the peace, setting the boundaries of respect. I don't think this bath scene was necessary - although I might not complain if it was Simon doing it. The mystery of Mal - what a complex character!
I love this bit with Simon introducing his life. I don't think I have watched this since being medfree. Now I can see why their relationship is so relatable.
"Pain is scary" one of my all time fave lines. Jayne gets some crackers.
Good interaction "lost in the woods.. he likes it that way" "No, the woods are the only place I can see a clear path". I'd love to discuss that line further!
Exciting ending, I wish we got to see more of them on horseback
Shepards struggles are also relatable - beautiful scene with Inara, reversed roles, mutual comfort.
