Firefly Rewatch: 1.01 Serenity

[nightshade]

Not an organised rewatch but if anyone wants to rewatch it with me, the threads will all be going up today.

Captain Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds and his crew aboard Serenity illegally salvage goods from a derelict ship. Because the goods are marked by the Alliance and an Alliance ship spotted an obsolete Firefly-class freighter leaving the scene, Mal's fence Badger refuses to handle the goods. Mal has to sell elsewhere. To make extra money, the crew picks up passengers: Shepherd Book, Dr. Simon Tam and Lawrence Dobson. En route to the new buyer, Patience, Dobson turns out to be an Alliance Fed tracking Simon. Dobson attempts to arrest Simon but is taken prisoner. Simon reveals that his genius sister River Tam, hidden in his luggage, was experimented on by the Alliance and that he is trying to smuggle her to safety. Patience tries to rob Mal but he takes the payment after a shootout. Lawrence escapes and holds River hostage but Mal shoots him and offers Simon and River haven aboard Serenity.

This is a theme song not to be skipped.

Jayne being inappropriate, but Mal taking care of it, I do love how he protects Kaylee.

He shot Kaylee.

Simon threatening to let Kaylee die

Mal all confused that there's a girl there

Simon telling how he and River came to be on the ship.

Mal hitting Simon, no Simon he doesn't want the Alliance patting him on the head.

Jayne could be tempted by money.

Reavers, the way Zoe describes them.

Mal telling Simon, Kaylee is dead. Then laughing with the others about it.

Book, you shouldn't have opened the door.

Simon, fighting because he has River

The Reavers are back

They're on horseback.

Crazy Ivan.

Shepherd is having a crisis, but Inara is there to help him out.

Money wasn't good enough, really a man you can trust.
