Firefly 1x02 The Train Job

[Casilda]

Well, indentured servitude is alive and well in various forms throughout history, and even in modern times and today. Being forced to work for a set duration until your obligation has been paid off… that’s not the same thing as slavery.

But it can be close. The way Inara treats Mal there (even as an act) makes me cringe.

Two by Two. Hands of Blue

That line made my hair stand up.

[Casilda]

So… are we watching another one? or is this it for the night?

[Apollymy]

Oh, I got it! I’m good! I speak for everyone!

[RobinInSeoul]

OK! On to Bushwhacked?

[Pike]

Not particularly, because it removes the coercion, illegality badness of it. Though the “whore” bit bothers me a lot.

Interesting. Why that word, and not the act?

[ATGreat]

On to the next frak party. Do we want to start at :05 after the hour?

[RobinInSeoul]

Shall we wait til 10 after? or start now?

[rokjen]

I’m staying for the next one. Or rather, I’m going to that page now. See you there!

So, it appears that Firefly engines are geese-proof?

Mal can no doubt attest to the strength of her pimp hand.

I was talking about within the context of the show - thinking of “Heart of Gold” and Nandi’s people and whatnot.

There’s a lot more I’d say about it (how I can be a sex positive feminist but anti-porn because of the structural inequalities of our society, etc) but, well, I want to watch Bushwacked, and I need a snack.

[Gryper]

So, it appears that Firefly engines are geese-proof?

I would say so!

[BadgerSpoon]

Well, indentured servitude is alive and well in various forms throughout history, and even in modern times and today. Being forced to work for a set duration until your obligation has been paid off… that’s not the same thing as slavery.

…technically.

Bravo, sir.

Heading over to the other thread… (there’s another thread?!)

[BadgerSpoon]

What about gay porn, where women aren’t even a part of the equation?

Bravo, sir.

Heading over to the other thread… (there’s another thread?!)

Yes.

They ain’t so tough.
