ReWatchable is here for another episode! This week we discuss the eighth episode of Firefly, “Out of Gas.”

Don’t forget that this podcast is spoiler-free, featuring both Firefly fans and newbies. So it’s safe for everyone to listen!

Shownotes:

-We all loved this episode!
-3 timelines going at once. Was it confusing or easy to follow?
-First theories about what happened to the crew before we see the flashbacks.
-Shepard book telling funny stories, but Kyle isn't laughing because he thinks he's EVIL.
-We're still theorizing about how River can predict things.
-Who do we side with when Zoe is knocked out? Mal or Wash?
-We love the relationships we see with Simon and Inara, and Mal and Kaylee when they realize they're dying.
-Even Jayne gets emotional, despite still being selfish. Selina really likes him this episode.
-Kyle still thinks Jayne isn't the evil person and that Shepard Book is the one who's going to turn on everyone.
-Which shuttle would you ride in? Kyle picks Simon's, obviously.
-When Mal warns Inara not to trust Jayne, is that foreshadowing to something?
-We were screaming for Mal and Inara to kiss during their last moment together. Why didn't they?!
-Maybe because Mal's true love is Serenity. We ship Marenity, no pun intended.
-We didn't like the scene with Mal and the crew of the "savior" ship. Too unrealistic!
-Selina thought they all died and Mal was in limbo when he woke up
-The crew's trust in Mal is amazing.The family is like space-cowboy Brady Bunch
-We discuss the flashbacks. Our favorite part being Wash's porn stache.
-Kyle wonders if they ever tell us how Zoe goes from not liking Wash to marrying him.
-Inara is worth the risk to bring her on, plus Mal really wants her. ;)
-Kaylee's introduction was so unexpected! Kyle wonders why she's so nervous around Simon.
-We like but also don't like Jayne's origin story. Why trust him?
-Kyle thinks they're trying to make us hate Jayne while in reality Book is the evil one later in the show. Nice try, Whedon, Kyle sees your ways!
-That's why Book's hair is so big, it's full of evil.
-We share out favorite quotes and our favorite scenes.
-Fun facts about the episode.
-Feedback from Haley, thanks Haley!
