"That man's psychotic!" - Mal was also testing Simon for his reaction to "Kaylee's dead". Simon wasn't thinking of himself. Simon was genuinely concerned for Kaylee. He passed the test. That concern is why Mal offered Simon the position to be a part of his crew.

When watching this show, you have to keep "space cowboy" in mind as the theme. That's what they were going for, thus the theme song, guitar riffs when space sh*t happens, etc. This series is excellent, albeit prematurely cut short. Followed by Serenity the movie, which kind of wrapped things up after the series. So glad you're reacting to this series. It's definitely one of my favorites.

Nathan Fillion was in a series called "Castle" in 2009 with Stana Katic. During one episode, he dressed as a space cowboy for Halloween, and it was the outfit he wore as Malcolm Reynolds in "Firefly". Just one of those fond memories of the nod to the "Firefly" series.

[@webhead215]

Bonkers behind-the-scenes tidbit for this episode: The head writer explained years later that the syringe Inara pulls out (which never appears again in the show, so this isn't a spoiler) wasn't actually a suicide pill. Instead, it would've been revealed in a future season that it's a special Companion poison that kills anyone who sexually assaults her. Kinda glad we never saw that, as -- even for a show that doesn't shy away from the dark -- that feels like a bridge too far. Plus, the obvious reading that she'd rather kill herself than fall victim to the Reavers is incredibly effective, IMO.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

So dark! I wish we weren’t robbed of more seasons but I do like the ongoing story being told

[@DhavalShukla]

I think Tim said that it was last case scenario for Ambassadors like Inara to take down the Reavers in case she unfortunately get jumped by them and is subjected to all the horrifics. Man I so wish this show gets renewed somehow in the future. I sometimes wonder that out in the multiverse there are universes where Firefly wasn't cancelled and there were more seasons that the fans would have loved and universes where Joss Whedon wasn't so awful in the future. Aah, what I wouldn't give up to have that universe!

[@TBirum1]

@@DhavalShukla I think Joss Whedon is getting a bad rap. From what I have researched, he said some hurtful things to people on set, called two pregnant women on set "Fat", was a bit of a bully and was "verbally abusive" to actors/actresses dating back to his days of "Buffy" But here is the thing, in our current "Social/Political" climate what isn't considered "Rude/Inappropriate/Hurtful/Homophobic/Transphobic, This That and the Other" It almost is a given that if you say more than three words there will be people who take offense to two of those words. Everyone's a victim, Everyone's Offended, White people are the Worst and of course since Joss Whedon is a ---------> Straight, White, Rich, Man, Then he is the worst human being to ever walk the face of the Earth. During the whole #Metoo uproar Joss Whedon's name was never mentioned, which should say a lot about him, but "OMG he is a dick to people on set!!!" People need to lighten up, you think Tarantino never yelled at someone on set? Scorsese? Spielberg?

The Old West setting: a quote from an early interview, "If you were going to settle on a planet that might not see a supply ship for years, would you rather have a tractor that needs refined fuel and manufactured parts you can't make, or a horse that can eat the grass and make more horses?"

For me, the beauty of this show is that you can binge watch the entire series plus the film Serenity over a nice weekend.

[@annapurna4054]

I'm thrilled you're reacting to this awesome show! Those of us who watched it when it first aired on broadcast TV never actually saw this pilot episode until after the show had been cancelled. The Fox execs didn't like it. Said it was too slow and they wanted more action, plus some other complaints. They told Joss Whedon on a Friday that he had until Monday morning to provide them with a new pilot script or they wouldn't be picking up the show. So Whedon and Tim Minear locked themselves away in a hotel room and spent the next two days writing a second "pilot" episode. That episode (the one you'll be reacting to next) is actually the first Firefly episode that aired. Fox then proceeded to air some of the other episodes out of order, didn't air three of the episodes at all in the US (we only got to see those when the DVD was released), and finally aired this original pilot at the tail end of the show's run. The mind still boggles at how hard those execs tried to sabotage this show. (They also switched time slots and pre-empted it fairly often to air sporting events in its place.)

Wasn't a 'Crazy Ivan' a Russian submarine maneuver in 'Hunt for Red October'? Same sort of thing, do a 180.

[@clarkmichaels822]

Yeah I think it comes from the book. It's referred in other media since then too. Red Alert springs to mind.

[@arklytte]

A 'Crazy Ivan' is actually a real maneuver that Russian sub captains would do during the Cold War. But yeah, it was brought into the public consciousness from Hunt for Red October. Clancy would do that alot...bring real world, declassified info (some not so declassified...apparently he had a LOT of inside contacts in the US military) and put it into his novels. Obviously he'd spice it up to make it more exciting, but there was a surprising amount of reality in his novels.

[@mjc1389]

A “Crazy Ivan” is a submarine term for clearing baffles. Baffles are the sonar dead spot behind the boat due mostly to the noise of the screw. This is accomplished by changing course a specific amount of degrees so the passive sonar array can check the area that was previously to the rear (aft) of the sub. This is a highly fictionalized term coming from books and movies when NATO subs are covertly trailing Russian or Soviet Era subs and they clear their baffles. A lot of SCI-fi programs implement Naval traditions and terminology into their lexicon.

[@mattp6089]

@@arklytte The Red October shouldn't have needed to perform a Crazy Ivan. She was a fictional 'improved' Typhoon class. They are fitted with a towed-array sonar. The Los Angeles fast attack boats are as well. Towed array sonar was worked on in WW1, but dropped and picked up on again in the 60s or something. Your most effective passive sonar array, it is towed at anything up to miles behind the submarine or ship it is fitted to, where the noise from your own travel is minimised. The dead zone for your towed array is directly in front of itself, where your ship is stirring up the ocean. It hears perfectly well astern and you would always have it deployed if you have any sort of depth under your keel to stop it dragging. So following a submarine directly astern of it is not something you would do since the invention of the towed array. You are in the best spot for it to detect you and the worst spot for you to detect it. My guess is you would try to shadow it off to one side, attempting to maintain a solution on it. Someone in another comment suggested part of the Crazy Ivan was to start pinging active sonar when you turned, which would indeed be 'Crazy'. But it would certainly illuminate anything stealthing along behind you. I don't know if there is any mention in the book or movie about Red October not having one, but the LA Class following it couldn't have known that I don't think.

[@kenschortgenjr7540]

Sweet Angela, Im glad you're giving this show a watch. Fillion was probably second best known for a TV show called Castle, and currently he stars in a show called The Rookie. You might also have seen him as Hermes in the 2nd Percy Jackson movie back in the day.

My reaction when I first saw this episode, was a massive WTF! Watched it on Fox(where tv series go to die) back in the day, and as has been mentioned by others. It did not air in the proper sequence, so by the time I saw this. I was pissed, confused, and entertained because I was liking the cast and the stories. It tells you just how good this show was, that despite the best efforts of Fox. It developed the fan base that it did, and Whedon was able to get a deal to do the movie Serenity!

[@robertanderson6929]

Glad to see you doing Firefly. As you begin this journey I'm going to put an idea out there. This is Zoe and Mal's tale. It might not seem like it because Zoe's character is often very subtle or in the background of scenes. But I think of this series as Zoe and Mal's tale, the tale of the warbuddies who made it back alive and have noticed a constant dynamic between the two characters. Mal never thinks twice as to whether Zoe has his back. And Zoe NEVER does anything to undermine Mal's authority with the crew right down to calling him "Captain" instead of Mal. I didn't come to this realization upon first viewing. But as I've watched the series multiple times I keep seeing more evidence to support my theory.

Glad to see a new reactor for this show. I watched it when it originally aired and was really pissed when it was cancelled. It's a space western, which was a popular theme at one time. I grew to really like this show. I was interested in it from the start, but there was just something about it that really registered with me. I think it was the character and their stories, and how the characters interacted within the story. Nathan has been in several things. He was the co lead in long running tv show called Castle.

[@NapolianSolo]

1 minute in and I'm already tearing up knowing how this react series is gonna end.

[@xxVladx]

In regards to why everybody was so skittish about taking the stolen cargo, it was mentioned in a quick line in that scene with Badger. After he points out that they were spotted, he also mentions something along the lines of there being a "government stamp on every molecule of the cargo". So basically, the stuff was identifiable on a molecular level as being the stolen cargo, so just exchanging the wrapper wouldn't have done much. Mal freaked out when he saw the wrapper because he knew what it entailed about the molecular imprints. I think there was even a line in the scene with Patience where Mal mentions the imprinting, "hence the discount".

He does a lot of voice acting, as well as on-screen.

[@barry5177]

I think they only ever explained this in the intros (depending on where you're watching it) or not at all: Humans left the "Earth that was" and found a new solar system with many planets that they were able to terraform. Only two languages survived the move: English and Mandarin Chinese. The central planets have all the wealth and are strictly governed by the Alliance. Tired of being controlled and abused by the Alliance, the outer planets tried to secede and govern themselves but they failed. Many like to compare this war with American Civil War but I think it's more like the American Revolutionary War if we lost. Except for the very beginning of the pilot, the series takes place six years after the secession failed. I enjoyed your reaction and look forward to the next episode. 👍👍

[@stonecoldku4161]

Nathan Fillion has been in a lot of things outside of Firefly and Serenity. Probably his biggest success to date (longest running TV series) was Castle on ABC. He played a writer of mystery novels that was called in to help investigate a series of murders that were copied from his books. In the process of solving that murder he becomes inspired by the lead female detective and begins to shadow her on her cases. Basing his new novel character on her. I only started watching that show when I saw that they made references to Firefly.

Nathan Fillion Starred in the TV show Castle for eight seasons, from March 2009 to May 2016. He's also starring in the show The Rookie, which is currently in its fifth season. Beyond that, he appeared in a few episodes of the seventh and final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and voiced a minor character in a few episodes of the show Resident Alien. Jayne is Adam Baldwin. He's been in Independence Day, Full Metal Jacket, and was one of the stars of the show Chuck. He was in the show The Last Ship, he's done video game voices, and he had a recurring role on the later seasons of The X-Files. His first movie was My Bodyguard in 1980, when he was 18. Pretty good movie BTW. "Terraforming" means transforming the environment to suit your needs. If you just build a closed environment in a dome, that's not really terraforming. You probably know this, but when the show aired on Fox, they aired the episodes out of order. This episode, which was meant as the pilot, was aired :LAST, so viewers didn't get some of the back stories until the end. They also left three episodes unaired.

The term "Crazy Ivan is a term from the book/movie "The Hunt for Red October". - Russian submarines would every so often make a rapid course change while traveling along a straight vector to see if they were being followed by another Submarine or surface vessel. They would rapidly turn to the left or right in a random choosing. It's good to have you into another series, & I'm ready to go! Best regards, Mo-
