Firefly 1x09 Ariel

Wrench to the face. Ouch.

You called the feds.
I got pinched!
Which is what happens when you call the feds.

insufficiently creepy

Next time you want to stab me in the back, do it to my face.

Can I come in?

Another great episode.

Next week, War Stories and Trash, with the return of Yosafbrig.

War Stories… another truly epic episode! Look forward to it!

… which might be anatomically problematic.

2 of my favorites!!!

War Stories with the return of Niska is great. I can’t wait for next saturday. Talk to you all later.

See you, AT!

I was thinking it obliterates evidence they might be storing in their mind.

I just love the whole Jayne arc in this episode. His penultimate line of don’t tell the crew what I done says so much. It defines all these people on Serenity. They are simple and complex, just and deviant. They are heroes and you love them, you root for them. Even Jayne and his narcisstic nature.

this episode made me fall in love with Jayne

His relationship with Mal is great. Big brother/little brother. It’s a great male dynamic.

Wish I had a big brother like Mal.

The hands-of-blue guys are creepy. I don’t think there is much difference between them and the reavers. Stoopid humanity making monsters. May we never be as foolish.

So… why do you think they wear blue gloves?

Law enforcement wear them to protect a crime scene so that’s where I got the idea for the bleeding brains. Thematically, it’s creepy. Functionally, no idea besides avoiding contamination. But what if they have enhanced hands or like Spock’s mindmeld the power of touch enhances their mind abilities?
