I was enjoying the show but I was confused because the previews had the "naked Girl in A Box" and apparently that wasn't in this episode so I thought maybe I had missed the first one.
But the dialog was witty the acting good and the writing was decent. Then this big thug guy is involved in the scene and the Captain tells him the deal is off and they will return the goods etc.
The big guy stands up and sez the standard bad guy speech "I will hunt you down and kill you with my bare hands etc." And I am cringing because this is about as cliche as you can get.
Then Captain Malcolm Reynolds wins me over forever cause he goes Well that's too bad and kicks the big thug into the engines and he is ground into a bloody mist.
I literally jumped off the couch and yelled YES, that is exactly what I would have done. I am not letting this jerk go so he can come back and kill me when I got him right here under my control!
Life Long Firefly Fan and Browncoat forever!
Mal: Now, this is all the money Niska gave us in advance. You bring it back to him. Tell him the job didn’t work out. We’re not thieves. But we are thieves. Point is, we’re not takin’ what’s his. Now we’ll stay out of his way as best we can from here on in. You explain that’s best for everyone, okay?
Crow: Keep the money. Use it to buy a funeral. It doesn’t matter where you go or how far you fly. I will hunt you down, and the last thing you see will be my blade.
Mal: Darn.
*poot*
*shred*
Mal: Now, this is all the money Niska gave us in advance...
Bad Guy #2: Oh, I get it! I’m good. Best thing for everyone. I’m right there with ya.
And yeah, I still think I have a “Niska/Crow for President” bumpersticker lyin’ ‘round some place...
