My First Time watching "JAYNESTOWN" Episode 7 Firefly REACTION

[@pjcornelius]

I still walk around the house singing the Jayne ballad sometimes 😉

[@NythicalReacts]

I’m gonna be doing this now too 😂

[@jeffrybrickley870]

I hum it. I am the only Browncoat.

[@RoGueNavy]

"It's my estimation that every man ever got a statue made of him was one kind of sumbitch or another." Once again, Mal is the voice of wisdom. But it was good to see that Jayne can feel something other than lust, hunger and anger. He actually has an introspective side. Can we say character development?

[@NythicalReacts]

I LOVE character development so much!!

[@mrborgeusborg1541]

"He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor. Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for. Our love for him now ain't hard to explain, The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!" This is what going mad feels like. Great reaction, and you seem to enjoy it. :D

[@NythicalReacts]

I was singing this song the last 2 days!!!

[@davepasnthru]

His eyes seem to follow me everywhere I go!

[@gnericgnome4214]

point of interest; Robin Hood did not rob from the rich and give to the poor. He robbed from the _tax collectors_ and gave back to the taxed.

[@nachofilament294]

The only time we ever see Inara flustered in the show is when someone tells her Jayne Cobb is a widely-respected hero.

[@NythicalReacts]

Her shock was totally valid 😂

[@endorphinzz]

"Me, Jayne Cobb..." "I know your name, jackass." LOVE that line lol...

[@DudeLongcouch]

The episode closing out with that sad, introspective version of "Hero of Canton" always makes my eyes water.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

I just love how all three plotlines in this one display the importance of various symbols, and how strongly they can shape our behavior.

[@Emburbujada]

Our love for him now, ain't hard to explain - so catchy!

[@erichebert5824]

Jayne's character arc is my favorite of this series. From the first episode when he and Mal established one day, if the money is good enough, Jayne will turn on him, to this Episode where he shows he actually has some sense of morals, and the things that happen later are even better.

[@ernesthakey3396]

LOL it wasn't a log, it was a ceramic pot or jug or some such, most likely made of the same "mud" (clay) that the workers collect for the bosses. I love how wide Fess is man-spreading in that last scene with his father.

[@NythicalReacts]

Hahahaha omg thank you!! Even when i edited it still looked like a log to me 😂

[@JohnSmith-kf8mv]

Did you zoom in during the end man-spreading scene ?! 😂

[@commonstragedy]

I was thrown off by the "lug" comment, but now I'm wondering if maybe a lug is a "log" made of "mud." 😊

[@chiefcrash1]

Looks kind of like one of the bottles the Mudder's Milk was being poured from the night before...

[@whoarocket]

​@@chiefcrash1Yes, it's a bottle of mudder's milk. You can see them pouring from those in the earlier drinking scene just before the song starts.

[@maidden]

Absolutely would love to watch you watch bloopers, but only after the whole show and movie! This really is such a funny episode, and also touching.

[@NythicalReacts]

Awesome! I’ll do it for yall 🫡

[@OzeroCa]

Probably wanna skip on bloopers until after the movie, to avoid spoilers….!

[@NythicalReacts]

[@whoarocket]

I would think the bloopers from the show are independent of the movie since the movie was done about two years later. But yes, since she loves the characters and actors, the blooper reels are really fun for after the show and after the movie. And one other thing I would recommend is this: on the DVD of Serenity, there is a short introduction by Joss Whedon. It was shown before an early pre-screening of the movie back then. He talks about how movies don't get made from failed half season TV shows, so this shouldn't even exist. It only happened because of love beyond reason from the fans. It's very inspiring and is nice to watch just before the movie.

[@OzeroCa]

@@whoarocket True, but better safe than sorry... random searching for bloopers could be hazardout in general, maybe. I don't know if there's movie bloopers out there, but it wouldn't shock me.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Bloopers are great, and I'd also advise viewing the number of deleted scenes from the show (and movie) after finishing the movie, for an extra dab of nostalgia.

[@OzeroCa]

@@jean-paulaudette9246 there’s a surprising amount of stuff hiding in the nooks n crannies.

[@davidbergfors6820]

I imagine that people saying that "there is no romance" wanted to manage expectations rather than having a different definition. but yeah, I tend to squeal like that about Kaylee and Simon too!

[@JohnSmith-kf8mv]

The people saying that just wanted to give spoilers without seeming to be giving spoilers.

[@Audra1964]

Okay, now that you know and love the characters, the next episode will tug on all the feels. 😮😅😊😢🥰

[@NythicalReacts]

Okay i will mentally prepare this week 😂

[@jay32183]

I'm waiting for "This must be what it feels like to go crazy" to be a regular part of your vocabulary

[@NythicalReacts]

Honestly I’m gonna start saying it 😂

[@UpLateGeek]

I love their initial reaction to the song, especially Jayne. He's so confused!

[@NythicalReacts]

It’s hilarious!

[@token1371]

Imo, you should experience and enjoy Firefly as it was originally broadcast almost 20 years ago. Each episode is different and unpredictable. The Bloopers and other formats will always be available after watching "Serenity".

[@NythicalReacts]

Oh for sure! I’m going to wait until I’m all finished with the series!

[@jaalsburg]

One of my favorite episodes. Of many so well written episodes.

[@sean---the-other-one]

Yes, watch the bloopers. Also you could watch the River Tam Sessions. But in spite of the River Tam Sessions being done as teasers for the movie Serenity, I think they work best if watched afterwards. The bloopers are best after Serenity also, as some of the best ones include the movie’s fuck ups.

[@NythicalReacts]

Sounds great!! I will do this 🫡

[@sean---the-other-one]

@@NythicalReacts Excellent! A further suggestion would be to do the RTS first since they’re a bit dark, and then you can finish with the fun of the bloopers. Enjoy!!

[@JohnSmith-kf8mv]

Well that my lunch time viewing vid sorted. 👍

[@NythicalReacts]

YAY🥰

[@RoGueNavy]

You'll be singing "The hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!" for days!!

His speech about kids in Stargate SG-1 is perfect: Colonel Dave Dixon: Yeah, all-night screaming, projectile vomiting, nuclear diapers... you have no idea. The reason they make them so damn cute is so you don't suffocate 'em in their sleep. Senior Airman Simon Wells: Sir, you have *four* kids. Colonel Dave Dixon: Yeah, why do you think I enjoy my job so much? Don't get me wrong, I love the little buggers to death, but trust me, havin' four kids makes going through a Stargate and facin' off against alien bad guys look like nothin'. This is relaxing. Senior Airman Simon Wells: Then why'd you have four? Colonel Dave Dixon: Well, one's pretty bad, but you figure you gotta have two so the little guy can have a brother or sister, right? Then you have two boys, and the wife says she wants a girl so you figure "Hell, three can't be much worse than two", right? What you don't realize is your brain is fried 'cause you haven't slept. After three, four is no big deal. You're so deep in it, nothin' seems to matter anymore. It's chaos. You're just tryin' to make it through each day alive. In the end, you spend all the energy you have left tryin' to get 'em into bed only to lie awake prayin' they don't get hooked on drugs, hurt, or worse... wind up dead in an alley somewhere. Senior Airman Simon Wells: Can't wait, sir. Colonel Dave Dixon: Yeah, miracle of birth, my arse. I'll tell you what a miracle is, birth control that works.

[@kevincachia1977]

It's so much fun seeing how much you're into every single episode of this show. The whole town singing about Jayne the folk hero may well be the funniest moment of the series. It's so unexpected. FWIW, I'm still looking for the crappy town where I'm a hero. Haven't found it yet.

[@NythicalReacts]

I’m glad you’re enjoying the journey with me!! 🥰

[@RoGueNavy]

Simon's mouth should really be much larger, considering how often he manages to jam both feet in there.

[@NythicalReacts]

LOL SO TRUE

[@ceji566]

Bloopers, spin-offs, sure .. but after the series and movie! Enjoy some mudder's milk.

Next 3 episodes are good, glad you seem to enjoy the series, take care

[@NythicalReacts]

Thanks so much!

[@michaelrunnels7660]

Simon hit Stitch on the side of the head with a bottle, not a log. The next episode is the one that most people like the best, including me.

[@Otokichi786]

"Jaynestown": Mal takes a smuggling job and Inara takes on a mission.

[@Kavala76]

The Firefly watch order I would recommend is: 1. The TV series (episodes 1 to14) 2. The TV series bloopers 3. The R. Tam sessions (five short videos marketing the film - on YT as a single watch) 4. Serenity (the film) PS. Thank you so much for pausing to comment. PPS. IMO you've just hit the Gold Patch with regard to episodes.

[@whoarocket]

@@Kavala76 No! I highly advise against watching River Tam Sessions BEFORE the movie. They're not all that interesting anyway, but there's just a slight bit of spoiler, so it's not worth it before the movie.

[@migmit]

Well, now it's Kaylee's turn to bullshit Simon. First time in the history of ever Inara was lost for words.

[@ulrichs3061]

Not exactly, at the end of episode 6 she was pretty speechless too.😂

[@migmit]

@@ulrichs3061 You mean, Safe? I can't remember her speechless there. Starting from them docking to the cruiser, she is pretty much not there at all. Or am I missing something?

Jayne is a bit more complicated than it seems. “You think someone is just going to drop money on you? Money they can use.”

Episode 8, Out of Gas coming up. My Fave episode...There are only really good episodes and GREAT episodes in this show...no bad or so-so episodes. What a shame this show was cancelled! The movie is pretty darn good and, while it helps if you watched the series, you don't actually need to have watched it to enjoy the movie. Jos Whedon has had an uneven career (great to bad) but this series is genius! And it really shows Jos at his best.

[@TK--dy5yp]

Does nobody else see Han Solo on the top shelf of the bar? Or just me?

[@williamberry9013]

Joss Wheedon wanted the actress who played Kaylee to put on 20 or so pounds. He had sexy babes in Inara and Zoey.

[@BryanFritchie]

Are you skipping the theme song? It look like you were manually skipping ahead. Never, ever skip the theme song of Firefly.

[@jeffburnham6611]

That comment about the romance was likely from me. But Simon is just so awkward in his approach to women, and Kaylee is easily offended when he isn't as forthcoming as she wants. I wouldn't call that romance.

[@NythicalReacts]

I don’t remember who but they weren’t referring to Simon and Kaylee specifically!

[@HalkerVeil]

Oh no. She skips the intro...

[@NythicalReacts]

[@bryanbrady877]

There is romance, mostly down here in the comments. Us browncoats love like love is what keeps us in the air. Sumpin kinda poetical bout that.
