Hey guys!

Here is yet another reaction to an episode of Firefly! I'm so grateful I have this series to react to during this spooky season for a lighthearted break. This was filmed before I switched over to the new camera so apologies for the meh video quality...

As always, please let me know your thoughts in the comment section below and until the next one, ✨stay golden! ✨

Oh this is gonna be a good one, about to watch now #HypeTrain Can't wait to see what series is next. Maybe Pirate show? Stay Golden Gurl, and have a flippin sweet weekend

Tom Evans

Looks like you didn't recognize who was playing young Simon. It was Zac Efron's first acting role.

I really needed this today. Thank you :)

Andy Jordan

Awright, new Firefly! My day just got a little better. Thanks for doing these, as always.

I just realized that when River said that their father was going to come and take them home she meant Mal was going to bring them back to Serenity.

This is by far my least favourite Firefly episiode, but that still makes it leagues above most other TV.

Ronny Boss

Love how you talk to us like we are there. Makes me feel like I'm watching a show with a friend 😁 I tried to make a reaction video when I was thinking of starting a channel, but I felt to awekward talking to a camera

John

Did you catch Shepard Book's comment when Mal asked him if he wanted to tell him about his ident card? Book replied, "I surely would. Maybe one day I will." There's definitely a secret there. They're really feeling like Serenity is home, especially Simon and River. The chemistry on set was just a close - most of the actors would hang out in Serenity's galley between scenes rather than going back to their trailers, etc. I think there's some discussion about that on the Blu-Ray extras (not sure if it's on Firefly, or the movie Serenity).

Joe Jeffords

Some of River's most heartbreaking moments are in this episode. Only Adam Baldwin could make Jayne simultaneously loathsome and endearing. It's rare to have a show cast perfectly from the beginning but Firefly pulled it off. Can't imagine a reboot could ever capture the original magic. Nice to have the fun and emotional commentary during this rewatch.

Matthew Periolat

*rubs his hands* much as I enjoyed this episode (by the way, am I crazy or did the parson look like Craig T. Nelson?), next episode is my favorite. I just cannot wait! Witness the birth of my favorite line still used today: “Oh, I’m going to the bad place.”

Neil Silverman

I loved your reaction to this one. I had pretty much the same reaction to the whole witch burning scene.

Scott Greene

I think that's a different show. What Shepard Book calls it is "the special Hell." For people who talk at the theater.

BJ Stephens

As much as I love Firefly, this is probably my least favorite episode aside from a couple small parts. That being said there's a lot more good stuff coming up and I'm looking forward to your reactions ;)

Andy Jordan

Great watch-along, Nat. I love how you yelled at Mal louder than anything in The Thing. That was a scream!

Spooky Dooky

Thank you for having such great reactions to this show. The only way I can experience the joy of watching Firefly for the first time again is through you. <3

PickettsChargingPort

For a second there I thought you were watching ‘The Fly’

Ron K

Great reaction! After you finish the series you should look up the gag real from the show. I remember it being pretty funny.

Great way to start off my day! Also glad to hear that you already have an interest in watching Serenity and we don't have to convince you. Also as someone who has watched the series so many times I've lost count I can say that you've crossed the hump. Every episode from here gets better and better.

I can't wait for Episode 7 ;P No Spoilers of course

Kevin Morris

Very little info is given about the Shepard's history through the series, but they did release a comic with his backstory sometime after the show ended. If you are interested i'm sure its on a wiki somewhere and you can find out about it after you finish the series.

Kevin Morris

No. Its not a spoiler. It gives no information about anything other than a path to learn more at a later time.

I enjoyed looking up the translations for all the things they said in chinese

Good stuff Nat

Tranquil_Gnome

Very fun as usual, Nat. Thank you. Fun fact Summer Glau aka River Tam was a ballerina most of her life. Joss uses that background a lot since River doesn't talk as much. She needed to express things via her body movements. Her first acting role was an episode of Angel, another Joss Whedon TV show. Joss used a few of the others for guest roles on Angel, Buffy, and Dollhouse. Zoe, Mal, Wash, and Jayne.

John

You're flat out saying information is not going to be given about a character. If it's not something someone would know before seeing an episode, it's a spoiler. Let her find out what is and is not explained through the course of the show.

Kevin Morris

Guys, this show lasted one short season. You don't learn much about any character because there is not time to learn much. All I was saying is that for Book there is additional info that is not in the show.

Gorram=goddamn

Ellis Hugh

Summer Glau was equally amazing in another ill-fated Fox series, the Sarah Conner Chronicles (also starring Lena Heady from GoT in the titular role). They actually incorporated her ballet training directly into one of those episodes.

Daniel Vezina

Here's my theory about Shepperd.... He was the General for the Alliance at the battle of Serenity Valley(the one at he beginning of the series, when Mal lost it's fate) and after the massacre that happened there he decided to retire and decided to join an Abbey. The day he steps out of meditating on is life, there's a ship called Serenity that's looking for travelers. Of course he's gonna pick this ship to start his redemption!!!!!(Kaley was so right when she said that he "wasn't looking for destination",)

There is a whole graphic novel about Book and his life before Serenity. I can only say this knowing Nat has seen the whole show now - Book was an agent, just like Chiwetel Ejiofor's no-name character in the movie Serenity. He had basically a crisis of conscience and vanished (aka the Abbey).

Daniel Restaro

would've been more poetic if he was an Operative..

Sean Novack

I find it highly ironic that they're all eating big, juicy steaks at the end of the episode...cows anyone?

Brian E

This was such a good episode! Nat had quite the roller coaster

MertzRocks

Natalie, I love the way you just fly off the handle sometimes! "You fuckin' people just SUCK!!" lol Also I came up with a hypothesis regarding River, the Academy she was sent to and her parents. I believe it's possible that the Alliance gave the Tams (or at least MR. Tam) a couple buttloads of cash for River, essentially selling her down the proverbial river. They / he had probably been assured that River would not be harmed but they could unlock her full potential; the first part obviously a lie, now that we know some of what they actually did to her. I'm goin to message you this theory too since it has been over two years since you posted this and I doubt you have time to come look here. This is for others and you others are free to disagree and put forth your own theories if you have them! Everyone Stay Golden!

MertzRocks

And notice that Jayne takes a piece of bread and passes the basket out of River's reach so she takes his piece, forcing Jayne to reach across the table for more.
