So we watched another exciting episode of Firefly today in class. I didn’t find myself laughing as much as I did on the previous episode, but I will say that I found this one way more interesting. Even though I couldn’t stay through the whole thing (thanks math class), I was able to view enough of it to notice some things. First off I learned not to pre-judge anyone. The captain’s new wife seemed to be an innocent, harmless woman who had one intention in life, which was to please her husband. She cooked for him and basically did everything she could to make him happy. Later in the episode she turned into this evil space pirate that seduces and fights people until they’re knocked out and then re-wires ships so that they are basically doomed. Totally unexpected. I thought an important scene was when the big guy tried to exchange his most prized possession (his gun) for the captains wife. Normally the captain doesn’t care about much and would have taken the trade, but instead, he reasoned that she was a human and wasn’t for sale. Could the captain actually be coming around instead of being cold hearted? Or did he really like his new wife? My guess was that he really did like her because, well, he tried to get with her and we all know how that turned out. Another thing I found interesting was that the big guy was prepared to give up his favorite gun for a girl. This suggests to me that the crew is becoming lonely on the ship and is prepared to give up their most prized possessions in order to experience love from outside the ship.

I too believe that the captain is beginning to come around. He also shows his soft side by putting down his guard and allowing the girl to take advantage of him. I didn't even think about the scene with the gun as being a sign of how desperate the crew is to feel outside love. That was a very good observation.
