So you get "She'll fly true," and "Storm's getting worse." They've got a way of talking about their feelings without doing it and I really love how it's written.

This scene always impressed me as a contrast between two ways of thinking. I almost feel sympathy for the agent because the realization that "there's nothing left to see" for him is existential. He's been asking himself "what's left of me?" and he's finding no answers. He's lost. He knows that everything he believed he was doing was not as pure as he had thought...that he had been supporting lies without question. I would consider this as a cause for shame, and if I were a believer I would be tempted to start searching for something else to believe in. But I'm not a believer...and neither is Mal. Mal's character lives in a more conscious state, like most who prefer to know rather than believe. There's no existential crisis in a person like Mal when they realize they've been mistaken; the mistakes they make do not include ignoring reality, or holding ideas without thought. Someone like Mal will admit their mistake, pick up the pieces and rebuild, and get on with the business of life. The agent...like Shepard Book...is left searching for something else to believe in. They don't know how to rebuild and life has no meaning without faith. This world - hell, any world - is not for people like the agent. Their world will always be "the next one".
@KS-xk2so3 жыл бұрын
For me when he says "There is nothing left to see." I think what he means is that his belief is shattered, and thats all he was, was his belief, so now he is nothing. The Operative believed in a Perfect World, a world without sin, and was willing to do any manner of evil to help the Alliance achieve such a thing, even if there was no place for him there. Then he see's that recording and realizes he wasn't helping build a Perfect World, but the Alliances "Perfect World", where sins are excused if the Alliance commits them. He cannot believe in that. However, he's a believer, he must have a cause to exist properly. So, now he has to go search for something new to believe in.

@@jonnyb70 Scotty never said it as poetically. But there was that one original series episode where he KNEW something was wrong with the ship just by the feel of it. Tried to explain that to Spock - but typically Spock didn't understand. But Spock is also an intelligent man who knows to trust his engineer. He said he couldn't account for a feeling like that himself, but he wouldn't dismiss the notion out of hand. If Scotty thought something was wrong, then something was wrong. Turned out Scotty's instinct and Spock's trust was justified. And they both saved the ship. As for poetry - perhaps McCoy said it best in his cameo in the pilot of Next Generation: *"You treat her like a lady, and she'll always bring you home."*

The other possible origin that I feel would have been interesting is if he was not only an Alliance General, but the one who commanded the forces at the Battle of Serenity Valley. He would have witnessed the merciless carnage against the Independents and yet be congratulated as a hero by the alliance, for slaughtering people doing nothing more than fighting for their homes.

My mumand i sar down to watch this when it first came out . . . . . . Mum was devastated when Wash died and i felt so angry at rhe ridiculous banality of his death . . . . .suffice to say, we both didn't watch it again for many years. This and Babylon Five: i cant watch them since she passed away . . . . . . two tv shows, fiction on a screen, yet so many memories of sitting with my mum and being together.

I always thought The Inquisitor went off and became a Shepard just like Book, and Book himself used to be an Inquisitor himself and fell out of it becoming the man he was when we ran into him at the beginning of Firefly.

I know I'm only the most recent in a long line of people remembering this wonderful film for a regretfully, way too brief series. This moment (0:01), deep within a desolate canon's a beautiful moment, and I think, probably the most fitting way to remember the real passing of Ron Glass. Though many remember him (as do I) in Barney Miller, as Det Harris, it's this role, as Shepherd Book, a deeply spiritual man, with an unspoken, but traumatic, dark past, which still haunted him, yet caused him to rise above it- one in which he was seen by his largest, widest audience, which will live on, long ahead. RiP.💐

Well he was, in his own way, an honorable man. He showed that when he prevented the surviving Serenity crew being executed and made sure their ship got repaired. There are few things in this world more dangerous than an honorable man who wrongly believes what they are doing to is righteous.

The reason this was Whedons best show? It had, by far, the best cast. Nearly the whole cast either went on to a long acting career or was at the end of one. That and this show had by far the best music of the Whedon library.

Sometime ago, I was talking with a good friend about this show, and told me "they can continue the series, or do a remake or something". I told him something I keep thinking, it will a bad idea. A continuation is too hard, too much time passed, the actors are, well... Some too old for that. And a remake is even worse, you will never find someone with that charisma, that chemistry to crew the Serenity. However... What about the universe? Despite the crew, the universe was unique and interesting. It can be explored again. Whatever happened during the war, or even better, after this movie. How the reavers creation echoed and weakened the Alliance regime... I don't know, Firefly's verse was pretty unique and had the potential to be deep enough for more than just one show and a movie. At least some interesting little stories, or something.

When you binge watch the series you can see how formulaic it was. The dialogue and acting can only carry that so far before it gets old. I still think 3 seasons would have been easily doable despite this.
