T -2 minutes. Apparently none of us have to watch commercials now. So we can post when the spirit moves us.  |

Bridget gets around. I figured the missus would be someone Mal knew, but not Saffron.

Is your uncle watching it with you? Wash is so cool sometimes. "So... later with the talking then" hand wave.  Mal did not mind being called a thief, but "petty" did not set well. |

No, he's in bed. He doesn't like Firefly... He just found it one day and started watching it thinking it was like Star Trek or something.  |

I am loving Wash and Zoe more and more, if that's possible. Wash: What's she doing on this ship? She snuck on. Wash: I don't remember pulling over.  Zoe landed a good punch on Saffron. Saffron should not have messed with Zoe's husband. |

You know, for a show that's 10 years old, it doesn't look dated at all. The technology still looks great and feels real. Can't say that about all shows.

The show does look fresh and modern.
Now Saffron is Yolanda. She must be like Elizabeth Taylor - loves to get married.

Mal is in a precarious spot now, and that Saffron thinks she can say anything and get away with it.

Nathan Fillion, who plays Capt. Malcolm Reynolds, is a notorious prankster. In the scene where he turns and walks naked up into the ship he was wearing a picture of Joss Whedon taped over his privates, just to break up the cast and crew.

I can imagine him doing that. That's why he had that smirk on his face.

When Kaylee finds Saffron's sabotage of the ship she says "Ta shi suoyou diyu de biaozi de ma!" which translates into "She's the mother of all the whores in hell!" Sigh. We have only three episodes left now. Oh, but there's still the movie, too! |

This episode is very entertaining. There were so many good lines that it is difficult to remember them. Wash: I don't remember pulling over. Simon to Jayne: I'm trying to think of a way for you to be cruder... but nothing's coming. Jayne on the trash pod and Kaylee said "It's hot!" They never hear the warning in time. Mal's description of Saffron: brilliant, beautiful, evil double-crossing snake. Simon chatting with Jayne while sticking a needle in Jayne's arm.  River: I can kill you with my mind. Mal strutting around naked with a smirk on his face. Now, if only Serenity had a "beam me up, Wash" switch. |

It's from a wonderful Firefly wikia database of information: firefly.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Lotta great stuff there. I love the scene with Jayne strapped on the gurney in the sick bay where he looks around and shouts "Anybody there?" Then River leans her head in and looks at him, and he shouts "Anybody else?" |

I wonder if they ever considered putting the translations on the screen ![]() Not that I know of. I watch it with the captions on, and it just says (Chinese) at those points. However, being a Firefly fan means never having to fear, because folks have translated every line said in Mandarin on the show--ever. firefly.wikia.com/wiki/TrashIf you'll scroll just a bit down on the URL above, just past the synopsis, you'll see a translation of each bit of Chinese dialogue from the episode. |
