    Objects in Space
    Oct 18 2024
    We did it - we made it the fourteenth and final (don’t worry, we’re not abandoning you just yet) episode of Firefly, “Objects in Space.” If you’re looking for a typical series finale where story lines are wrapped up in a nice little bow, this episode of television might disappoint you. If you’re living in an alternate reality where this is a season finale and they're going to bring back Firefly for a season two decades later, then this episode is really isn’t that bad. River walks through the ship listening in on various conversations between crew members. While eavesdropping she has moments where she hears and sees the crew saying things not heard by the other person, and everyone remains unaware of her presence. Simon implies he’d still be a doctor if it wasn’t for her; Shepherd says something that implies a not-so-religious past; Mal and Inara voice frustrations over their Sam and Diane dynamic. River overwhelmed by everyone's feelings, rushes down to the cargo bay and steps on a branch. When she picks it up—she's suddenly surrounded by orange leaves on the floor. A few seconds later we are thrust back into the real world and River is holding a gun while the rest of the crew surrounds her, yelling at her to put it down. After she runs back to her room, we see a small vessel tailing Serenity and a man (bounty hunter Jubel Early) inside looking at the wanted bulletin for the Tam siblings. Later the crew grapples with whether it’s safe to have River on the ship—River is listening through the floor and Early is listening through the hull of the ship. As the crew goes to bed, Early enters ship and starts taking the crew out one by one—first Mal (a little to easily if we’re being honest!), quickly locking some people in their quarters after; then Kaylee (which we have some thoughts on because ugh); he gets Shepherd with a kick to the head; and finally he comes across Simon who he uses as bait to try and lure River out to him. We don’t want to give too much away here, but the gist is River is no longer a person, she’s turned into Serenity. You’ll have to listen to find out how true that statement is—with River, anything is possible! Plus, George and Meaghan talk “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story; Meaghan’s loser takes George by surprise; and we discuss what a Firefly season two might have looked like.

  • Heart of Gold

    Heart of Gold
    Oct 11 2024

    This week we are rounding third and talking about episode thirteen of Firefly, “Heart of Gold,” and boy is it a weird one. We’re visiting yet another desert locale in space, but this one has a brothel covered in tin foil, run by former companion, Nandi; and a local land owner, Rance Burgess, who must have seen Road House at some point (J.C. Penney is coming here, because of me!). Rance shows up at the brothel looking for one of Nandi’s employees Petaline. Petaline is pregnant and Rance is determined to prove the baby is his. Nandi video calls Inara, asking for help (much like when Dalton called in Wade Garrett for back up when dealing with Brad Wesley). Inara volunteers the Serenity crew and since they have nothing else lined up, they agree. When they get to The Chicken Ranch, Jayne makes a beeline for the girls, Shepherd tries to make a sandwich, Kaylee asks Wash to tell her she’s pretty, and Simon (with River in tow) goes to examine Petaline. Nandi explains the situation to Mal, Zoe, and Inara—that Rance keeps the people in the town poor, so he can live out his Road House fantasy. Later, Mal and Inara meet Rance at a local theater (and if we weren’t already clear on how Rance views women, this part helps clarify: he hates them). Mal and Inara leave, and Mal realizing Rance is a monster tells Inara that everyone should pack up and leave this hellhole. Rance gets a call from Maury saying “YOU ARE THE FATHER.” Nandi can’t be convinced to leave and Mal in a moment of ‘stupid recognizes stupid’ agrees to stay and help fight. The main bullet points after this are: Zoe tells Wash it’s time to start trying for a baby; Mal sleeps with Nandi; Inara cries when she finds out; River doesn’t know where babies come from; and we meet a winner of the local Lacey Chabert look-alike contest. We end on a bit of a cliffhanger, which neither of us are sure will even be mentioned in the fourteenth and final episode.


    Plus, George and Meaghan workshop their Firefly spinoff about Shepherd Book; George regales us with the trials and tribulations of getting the best burger in NYC; and by the end of the episode, Meaghan can’t stop laughing.

  • The Message

    The Message
    Oct 4 2024

    (Recorded on September 29, 2024) This week we’re discussing episode twelve of Firefly, “The Message.” While at the local mall, the crew stops by the post office (convenient!) to see if any of their Amazon orders came in. Jayne gets a letter from his mom (that he either struggles to read or she struggled to write) and a homemade hat. Mal and Zoe get a crate a with a body inside! We flashback to seven years prior and learn that the body is of a former independence soldier named Tracey that fought alongside them. Once they're done reminiscing, the post master reminds them that it’s illegal to transport a body through the mail (still!?) and they need to GTFO. Back on Serenity the crew discover an ancient device called a sony minidisc player containing a message (or THE message) in Tracey’s crate. Now, if you think this message is going to lead into sensitive discussions about readjusting to life after war, you’re going to be disappointed! The message is good, but the follow through is bad. Tracey fell in with some bad folk and now other bad folk are looking for him; like some alliance feds at the post office threatening to light the post master on fire (the best of the threats, seriously) if he tells Mal they're looking for that crate. They track Serenity down and Mal figures this a good time to cut Tracey open to see what’s inside - but guess what! Tracey’s actually alive and just smuggling lab grown organs in his own body that will then be removed and replaced with his own (we’re not kidding). Mal has Tracey hide—Kaylee volunteers her room because she’s got a crush and is very mad at Simon! Shepherd sniffs out some sneaky behavior on the alliance officer’s part and helps devise a plan. Unfortunately, Tracey only hears half that plan and goes off the rails and tries to take down everyone with him.


    Plus, Meaghan talks about her love for Tropic Thunder; George comes close to getting canceled; and we discuss the perils of tripping on the sidewalk at our advanced ages. (Original network air date July 15, 2003)
