Firefly - 1x6 Our Mrs. Reynolds - Reaction

[@KlooKloo]

*Jayne:* This the best gun made by man. It has extreme sentimental value. It's miles more worthy 'n what you got! *Mal:* What I got? She has a name. *Jayne:* So does this. I call it Vera.

[@TheAes86]

Without seeing this yet, knowing the episode, this should have been a 2 part reaction . :P Edit: I was right. Wish you could have fit in the moments with the shepherd's "special place in hell" and Jayne and Mal's conversation with "Vera." "Well my days of not taking you seriously are definitely coming to a middle" , and Mal's " I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will end you." One of my fav episodes.

[@MissAdda]

Every male reactor I have seen: "wow, she's so sweet!" Marketa: "I don't trust her"

[@Boringusername50]

I love that you two are having fun with the show! I can’t wait for the rest of the season!

[@Finians_Mancave]

Guys, this is a Joss Whedon show. Meaning the dialogue is worth hearing. A good quarter of the lines get talked over!

[@TrinidadBatman]

Suraj has a great dynamic with every normie....it’s as if he’s captain America and their the avengers.

[@GrizzleyBruin]

"they're"

[@tytube3001]

but Captain America is an asshole

[@tsogobauggi8721]

He is a polite and nice guy. That kind of people get along with everybody. Even with people they don't like.

[@eddiemi]

And so begins the legend of YoSafBridge

[@KellyParks]

The bad guys died in the vacuum of space, something that happens very fast. Putting my aerospace engineer hat on for a second, this was awesome in that they showed there is no sound in space (when Jane fires Vera) and firing a gun requires oxygen to react with the gunpowder (why Vera had to be inside a space suit).

[@ListerWalkthroughs]

firefly do the no sound thing a lot - whenever a ship explodes, or there is a space battle. It's great.

[@anonymes2884]

They'd also juxtapose frantic sound/activity onboard with silent external shots of Serenity, which was really effective. But ** pushes glasses up ** ;), Vera would fire just fine without oxygen. Modern cartridges come with their own oxidiser which is why modern guns will also fire underwater for instance. No air required (well, except for accuracy - rifles spin the bullet to keep it stable as it flies through an atmosphere, in a vacuum maybe it'd tumble and go off target). That said, the suit might be to allow the rifle's action to operate properly (automatic/semi-automatic guns sometimes redirect the expelled gas from the discharge to operate the mechanism which loads the next round and a vacuum might well interfere with that) so it can still be made to make sense.

[@houseofaction]

there is actually sound in space Space isn’t uniform nothingness. It’s full of stuff. In between the stars, there are clouds of gas and dust. These clouds are sometimes the remains of old stars that went out in a blaze of explosive glory, and they’re the regions where new stars form. And some of that interstellar gas is dense enough to carry sound waves, just not sound perceptible to humans.

[@anonymes2884]

houseofaction It's a valid point in general that space has non-uniformities (there are nebulae etc. and even in the space between galaxies there are atoms of e.g. hydrogen. Interplanetary space has dust as well as a sort of very thin plasma from the star) but space is mostly in fact deeply, profoundly _empty_ of stuff. The density of those intergalactic atoms is about 1 atom per cubic metre, the interplanetary medium is denser at about 5,000,000 particles of various kinds per cubic metre which may sound like a lot until you realise that air has around 10 _million_ _trillion_ times more particles per cubic metre. Nebulae are visible because they're huge, many light years across sometimes, close-up we could easily see through them because of their very low density (about 10 thousand trillion times less dense than air). Pressure waves certainly propagate in nebulae so technically a _sort_ of sound but not sound as we know it (the density is so low that the average time between particle collisions is far too long for conventional sound). Space is _almost_ full of nothing with blips of non-nothingness (like us for instance, * waves * ;) scattered around.

[@flamingas]

These gas clouds are dense in relation to the rest of space, but otherwise they are about as dense as the best vacuum we can create on earth.

[@pharrigan-hikes]

"Out of Gas" and "The Message" are my two favorite episodes. Love that you guys watched this. I try to watch the series at least once a year. Always fun to revisit.

[@marcia_elena]

I think my two favorite episodes are "Out of Gas" and "Objects in Space", but I love every episode of this show.

[@bloatus7611]

Gonna see how long it takes Suraj to realize that that’s a somehow even hotter Christina Hendricks Edit: Too damn long!!

[@allyourmoney]

Hasn't watched enough Mad Men.

[@ldkinbote]

This is where I first saw Christina Hendricks and I totally fell for Saffron's con. She did it so well. Didn't really watch Mad Men, even though I was glad to see her on another show.

[@popeye697]

LdKinbote saw her here first, then on LIFE, the Damien Lewis cop drama

[@ldkinbote]

Oh yeah, I loved that show "LIFE."

[@tsogobauggi8721]

Well she was younger and in better shape in this one.

[@jaycievictory8461]

"Zoe's always there " Cos she's always got Mal's back. Best second ever. 💪💪💪

[@smiggles123100]

This is one of my favourite episodes

[@adjustedjunk9377]

They left out 2 of the best parts. The "Vera" scene with Jayne and the "Special Hell" scene with Book...

[@mbpoblet]

And, next... the Hero of Canton! Can't wait! :'D

[@willparks3429]

Y’all are the serenity duo!

[@emanymton713]

I love that the theme song moved you enough to air guitar along.

[@thbemky827]

zoey is always around and you will notice they hardly ever if ever question each others judgement on shooting first... they trust each other so thoroughly ... she rarely gets rank pulled on her... she is basically his co-command

[@larrystuder8543]

Nathan is good at total, uncomprehending shock."Huh..." " what?" "to wubba-- who?"

[@sherrysink3177]

Great commentary at the end, Marketa and Suraj. As a Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel series fan, I remember reading about Firefly before it started airing, and the general description for it was "space western," to which I said, "Oooooookay..." I like Star Wars and *some* Star Trek and I like action films but I'm not really a western kind of gal, so I just didn't know if I'd like it. But it was a Joss Whedon show so I wanted to give it a chance. I'm glad I did, because it really is different than anything else that was on at the time. (Which may have been part of the problem back then - FOX just didn't know how to market it, and fucked the whole thing up.) It's a unique show with an unusual tone. I love the action and adventure, I love the humor, and I especially love all the character relationships and connections, from Wash and Zoe, to Mal and Wash, to Shepherd and Kaylee, to Simon and his sister, and Jayne and pretty much everyone (LOL), just all the different ways these characters interact is so fascinating and funny and sweet. I just love it. It's my favorite Joss Whedon show, and I'm sorry we didn't get to see it evolve beyond these few episodes. At any rate... looking forward to more of your reactions! :)

[@TheAes86]

The relationships are why I think people have so many different "favorite" episodes. It's certain moments in each episode between characters. Like my favorite moment is in Ariel but it's not my favorite episode, but the series would be the poorer without that moment,. It's iconic moments that reveal characters' inner selves that make this show. The writing on the show to be able to give the actors those revealing moments is amazing.

[@sherrysink3177]

I hope you'll write about your favorite moment when they get to Ariel. Not long now! :)

[@TheAes86]

Wow I love your Avatar!!!! I just noticed when it popped up on a notification. BTW I am sure you know the moment I'm talking about. ;) . I think this episode had a "moment" when Inara admits she didn't fall and you can see she thinks all the games are over and they are going to have to deal with their feelings. Of course the response turned it into pure comedy gold but it was still a revealing moment.

[@eddiemi]

Top 4 episodes for me are 1. Our Mrs. Reynolds 2. Out of Gas 3. War Stories 4 Objects in Space

[@ShaunRF]

You didn't include the Vera scene? "My days of underestimating you have certainly come to a middle."

[@tdog790]

My favorite epi is "out of gas"

[@7BitBrian]

That is a really great episode. One of my favorites as well.

[@faureamour]

So good! I love that and... can't pick between Ariel and Jaynestown and Objects in Space.

[@ldkinbote]

Agreed...and that's on a series that is all good.

[@tsogobauggi8721]

15:59 It was very round episode indeed... :)

[@fallingdowner5655]

I think Saffron uses her skillset to the best of her abilities. She most likely has companion training but isn’t one so manipulation is what she knows. I’d love to know more about her backstory.

[@israelandrews4284]

Great episode, and just like Jane said that is why you don’t kiss on the mouth 😁. The next episode is my favorite episode of all time, not just this show, but all shows ever. If it’s Jane’s Town, I think that’s the next episode...not sure. The best episodes of the show are upcoming, the first half is good, the second half is amazing.

[@Hession0Drasha]

war stories is my fave because of all the wash mal banter

[@andywilson5234]

Ahhhh. They left out, "By my pretty floral bonnet..."

[@alexachipman]

I know right!

[@contenau22]

One of my favorite episodes. When I see the writing and impeccable world building I always shed a metaphorical tear for the untimely cancellation of this masterpiece.

[@EffableLemming]

"You can't take this guy from me..."

[@tsogobauggi8721]

12:34 That kiss may get Deadpool knocking on Mal's door...

[@hungryclone]

Only 2 reactors on this one?! THIS IS SUCH A GOOD ONE!!!

[@nottellingyou3588]

oh, please please look up the deleted scenes for this episode, its incredible. Loved the reaction by the way :)

[@faureamour]

I forgot this was happening today. So exciting! Also, I love this episode, and the next 4 episodes. This is going to be an awesome ride. 😊

[@randy_n]

My favorite episode is either Ariel or Out of Gas. I can't choose. Don't make me.

[@MortimerSeptimus]

Right at 6:52 I noticed how absolutely devastated Inara looks. I mean, it's obvious in hindsight, I just haven't rewatched the episode that much, so it really hit me this time around.

[@ldkinbote]

There were 4 episodes that's were never aired. They only showed about 8 or 6 (depending on how many there are in the whole season, minus 4).

[@denzh6980]

Has been fun to watch your reactions, always like this episode a lot, BUT my most favourite episode is the next one, the Jaynestown :-) Good show used to watch it at hightschool times at Vysočina, its shame it ended like it ended up :-( P. S. Markéto přeju rychlé uzdravení!

[@alexachipman]

She has her own comic also - such an awesome character! In Mal's position, tho I think I would have fallen for it waaaay earlier.

[@hmsljj]

Are you guys still in Colorado sampling the local product?

[@ItsAsparageese]

I've found a couple of isolated videos of you reacting to Firefly through my recommended, but I've looked at your channel a couple of times now and can't find a playlist anywhere of your Firefly videos. And you have a ton of uploads so it's not appealing to go dig through just to find these so I can playlist them myself. Searching your channel name and Firefly put together isn't yielding them all either. Did you guys make a playlist and I'm just not finding it, or is there not a playlist of your Firefly reactions? I'd like to watch them but haven't even started yet because I want to get them in order first :P

[@joem3051]

Awesome episode, my favorite so far.

[@reginaldkelly4269]

14 EPISODES!!!! 14 EPISODES!!!! LOOK IT UP PLEASE

[@GregInHouston2]

You talked me into it; you silver tongue devil you! You can sponsor me. You are good!!!

[@alvaroramirez9819]

firefly is on Netflix no commercials

[@LadyVenomWay]

Marketa looks adorbs! Nice one guys!

[@Blahwoof85]

My favorite episodes of the series were Out Of Gas... The Message... & Objects In Space. Great episodes with backstory & character development

[@dragos-lucian]

Young Christina Hendricks... mhmm... That's all I gotta say.

[@vincentvalentin5412]

Y'all are going to react to Serenity (the movie) right?

[@sherrysink3177]

Seconded! I hope so. :)

[@leaisstillhere]

I would really recommend the Netflix series DARK to react to!

[@prisonerofcapitalism]

"You have to fight the hard." HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

[@M3A7]

There is a theory that Inara actually has a terminal illness.

[@russellward4624]

It’s not a theory it’s a fact.

[@arodin]

"Safe" was Firefly's only kinda bad episode. "Our Mrs. Reynolds" was a little strange but pretty good. All of the rest of the episodes are great. Can't wait to see more reactions!

[@seanwhelan9069]

hard to choose a favorite. probably war stories or out of gas

[@Dannydarko27]

Man 4 years ago already. Time goes by too fast

[@johankaewberg9512]

🎶 You can’t take the sky from me. Thank your for this reaction. Exactly what I needed. Sometime react to River in the movie, because that was the only amazing part.

[@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames]

I forgot Christina Hendricks was in this episode.

[@MrUndersolo]

Chef Jack Geeks Out I have never forgotten!

[@russellward4624]

And David Acevedo from The Shield is one of the guys in the control room.

[@saintmatthias8187]

Jasmine tea is one of my favorites.

[@SpiderandMosquito]

Damn it why did you skip the special hell line though why why did you skip it. Child molesters and people who talk in the theater is my favorite line of the show I wanted to see how you responded to that! XD

[@GSA-32]

Love your reaction

[@sherrysink3177]

Favorite Firefly episode? Out of Gas. Though Ariel, Jaynestown, War Stories and Trash are up there as well. Those are probably my top five, though I might swap out Trash for the series premiere (2-parter) episode Serenity. I'd say you can't go wrong with any of those. Good, good stuff. Can't wait to see/hear what you think of them!

[@Karthig1987]

Inara supes angry at the start lol. Also her stupefied look at the end.

[@onenutmia8323]

Wait till next episode! :)

[@douglas2938]

Wow! This and Mr Robot on the same day?!

[@Pandafaust11]

And Community.

[@LeeCarlson]

I am always entertained by how little people understand about things like gravity, vacuum, and other standards of like outside of a gravity-well.

[@flnthrn2]

You don't really need to specify season 1.

[@eljeffex]

Fun to watch Firefly with you guys. I'll take any excuse to revisit this show... and to revisit the old "texts from firefly blog" so I can see things like this: textsfromthefirefly.tumblr.com/post/6331503703

[@zrofrost179]

Mal resisted to the end when she literally threw herself at him. fems making him out to me a bad guy. turns out it's a bad girl.

[@franciscoduran4618]

14 episodes.

[@mjkjelland13]

hahahaha - Saffron

[@charlesmckenna1477]

so are these the only 2 whove never seen the show?

[@Thenormies]

Correct!

[@TheAes86]

When did Rana watch it? She was so excited when it came up on the wheel. I can understand not wanting to wait to see if it came up and binge watch anyways beforehand , just curious.

[@internettrowel6930]

whenever I hear that intoning movie or tv scene vocalizing, I always think of this song... kzbin.info/www/bejne/fne6fH1oe7qcd7M

[@8ssian]

Hi!

[@usul573]

8:35 O.O O.O O.O

[@LeeCarlson]

I'm always tickled when somebody reacting to "Firefly" does not recognize Christina Hendricks who has gone on to become such an icon of female sexuality since her role in Mad Men.
