Do you know what Firefly really needs? Someone to make Jayne look a little less crazy. That's definitely what you get with this episode. Jubal Early is definitely the craziest person to ever grace the decks of Serenity. He even makes River look sane.
It's sad to note that one of the best episodes around what is happening with River, is where the story ends thanks to Fox.
Jubal Early is a messed up bounty hunter who is trying to collect the reward on River. He does a great job of dealing with the crew and company. He does some extremely strange things. Check them out here:
Jubal's path:
- Fights Mal and beats him pretty easily. Locks him up in his room.
- Locks up Zoe and Wash.
- Is really, really mean to Kaylee. (Also suggests he might be Santa or a part of Serenity forever)
- (He also threatens to rape her, which is not cool Joss Whedon.)
- Knocks out Preacher.
- Says lines like this: Doctor: Are you alliance? Jubal: Am I a lion? Doctor What? Jubal: I don't think of myself as a lion. You might as well though. I have a mighty roar. Doctor: I said Alliance. Jubal:
- Hits Inara.
- Has a conversation with River as Serenity.
This episode speaks to so many great components of the show. It's good that this was the last of the episodes, but it's a shame that it had to end at all. "Does that seem right to you?"
