Mal is shocked to discover his friend's new bride is Saffron who, although furious after Mal blows her cover, offers to cut Mal in on what she calls the perfect, big-time scam

:) Very funny episode and Naked Mal :thumbsup:

Saffron great character, good to see her return although I'll never believe she was really crying.

Loved the plan :thumbsup:

I liked the idea of the super rich having their own tiny islands above the ocean

Yay for Zoe for punching Saffron, yay to Inara for being there to lock Saffron in the trash can :lol:

and Naked Mal :)

Did you happen to notice naked Mal at all? ;) :lol:

This was so brilliantly done with all the twists and turns and the big surprise at the end with Inara being the one to finish the job, so to speak. I also loved the little islands for the very rich :D

:lol: Oh and I noticed that Naked Mal had a tattoo of Serenity on his thigh, or thats what it looked like to me :lol:

Brilliant episode, despite naked Mal :p

The special effects are superb, loved the scenes with Simon and Jayne, loved the way Kaylee proved herself smarter than Saffron :thumbsup:

Was it me, or did the gun look like a crap water pistol? :unsure:

I noticed something but didn't pay attention to what it was! Time for a closer look, methinks ;) :lol:

:ph43r: On closer inspection I'm not so sure, I have read a theory that it might have something to do with the independents, doesn't hurt to keep looking :lol:

According to this it's a real tattoo that Nathan Fillion got when he was 19. So not just for the show!

Saffron's back :D

Was it just me, or did Simon seem strangely reluctant to treat Jayne just after he got electrocuted? He didn't find out about the betrayal in Ariel until after Jayne was immobilised (despite River's hints in earlier episodes) so I don't get what was going on there.

One of the weird things about Firefly was that in 500 years time, the most advanced weaponry was still projectile-based weapons. Maybe it's simply the most reliable weaponry, but it was good to know that energy-based weapons were out there.

I love this episode - esp Nathan's bum :thumbsup: :D

clever: loved the twists, the turns and everything reallu. (Not v articulate reallu, but everyone else has covered it :D)

Well my replacement Firefly set arrived today :thumbsup: So I could continue my I was can't say rewatch as it the first time I've seen Firefly so I guess thats makes it a "watch" instead :lol: Anyway I continued where I left off.

It's always good to see Saffron she maybe a double dealing cheating snake but like she said she's hot :thumbsup: I knew the crew wouldn't fall for it but hadn't worked out their plan. You know what they say never play a player or in this case players :thumbsup: very funny episode I think they should have rewritten it so that Kaylee was the one sitting naked on the rock :naughty: I'm not sure if the narrative would have still have worked but who cares :drool:

:lol: No it worked fine as Mal ;)

very funny episode :thumbsup:

another funny episode, love jaynes humour again, if theres anyway for him to get cruder i just cant see it.

Jayne: Captain says you're to stay put. Doesn't want you runnin' afoul of his blushin' psychotic bride. She figures out who you are, she'll turn you in 'fore you can say... "don't turn me in, lady".

Jayne: Well, I say as a rule that girlfolk ain't to be trusted.
River: Jayne is a girl's name.
Jayne: Well Jayne ain't a girl. She starts on that "girl's name" thing, I'm a show her good an' all I got man parts.
Simon: I'm trying to think of a way for you to be cruder. It's just not coming.

AL
:thumbsup:

Another great episode as everyone else has said :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: to naked Mal, always a good thing to have a naked man on TV :drool: :lol:

So glad it was Inara that shut Saffron in the trash can :lmao: and Jayne was hilarious as always :lmao:

I know everyone else seems to love the 'Saffron' episodes but I really don't like her :shrug:

It may have something to do with her trying to kill Mal and the crew ;)

Though I suppose the sight of naked Mal is enough to tip the balance in this episodes favour :drool:

Best quotes:

Mal: Yep... That went well.

Mal: This is my scrap of nowhere. You go on and find your own.
Saffron: I'll die.
Mal: Well, as a courtesy, you might start getting busy on that, cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

Saffron: He's my husband.
Mal: Well who in the damn galaxy isn't?

River: Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Oh my, naked Mal :drool: :naughty:

Nice to see Saffron again. Was she really crying on the ship with Mal before she took the gun off him? And was she really in love with Hamer? It was a nice twist that the crew duped Saffron. Love the title too: "Trash" - it works on so many levels :lmao:

And Simon knows that it was Jayne who turned him and River over to the Feds on Ariel. I expected him to do something to Jayne when he was knocked out, but I liked what he said to him in the infirmary about how how they should trust each other because they have enough enemies and River's: "Also, I can kill you with my brain" :lol:

I can't believe that when these eps were first screened in the US they were shown out of sequence, given the continuity between eps how did the network expect fans to understand what was going on? Seems like they didn't want to give Firefly a chance to catch on :mad:

:cry: I only have 3 eps left now. Is it bad that I don't want to watch them because then it'll be over? I know the film will be out soon, and I can always rewatch and watch all the extras, but it won't be the same :tear:

The only thing I can say to console you is apart from the film (s) is that you can enjoy watching them over and over and get more from them every time.

The novelty is gone but you will still get emotional and enjoy various scenes just as much. Certain episodes grow on you more too.

Actually I think its the only series that I can watch episodes again shortly afterwards and still enjoy just as much.

The commentaries are fabulous and the extras are great too :thumbsup:

Thanks laughitupfuzzball :) . I know I'm just being silly, but I'm really enjoying the series (probably because it's the only show I haven't read any spoilers for). I didn't expect to enjoy it this much - not bad for an impulse buy :thumbsup: . I'm actually looking forward to watching it all over again because there have been a few eps that I've wanted to rewatch straight away, and I can't wait to hear the commentaries and watch the extras. Normally I'd go for them first but I didn't want to be spoiled for the series.

I'm still going to wait for a while before I watch the last three eps though ;)

I can't remember if anyone's posted this before, but here's some details on the way the show was originally aired :)

Thanks willowroolz, I didn't know the full story about the cancellation.

Ok, so Fox screened "Serenity" parts 1&2 last?? And they didn't even show eps 11, 12 and 13?? :damnyou: I'm shocked and disgusted (and even a little angry!). At least we're getting a movie though :thumbsup:

There's a membership fee for you to join that club :lol: ;)

Watching this again last night, some more favourite bits jumped out:

Monty: Damn you, Bridget! Damn you ta Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then y-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!

Inara: Should I start with the part where you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, or the part where you have no clothes?
Mal: All according to plan.

Inara: Right. You're a criminal mastermind. What was the last cargo we snuck past the Alliance to transport?
Mal: We made a perfectly good piece-
Inara: What was the cargo?
Mal: They were dolls!
Inara: They were little geisha dolls with big heads that wobbled!
Mal: People love those!

Saffron: You're asking yourself if I've got the security codes, why don't I just go in and grab it for myself -- why cut you in?
Wash: No. Actually... I was wondering... What's she doing on the ship!? Didn't she try to kill us?
Saffron: Please. Nobody died last time.
Wash: We're in space. How'd she get here?
Mal: She hitched.
Wash: I don't recall pulling over...
Mal: Look. Point is, there's more'n one of us here wouldn't mind sticking it to a Chiang-BAO HOE-tze duh Alliance bastard. Besides that, this could be a very lucrative venture for all of us. This ain't no wobbly-headed doll caper. This here's history.
Jayne (raising his hand): Okay. I got a question. If she's got the security codes, why don't she just go in and grab it for herself -- why cut us in?



:lol:
