Thanks a lot for the free (and great!) full reaction (also my favorite, as some others said - great writing, directing, editing and soundtrack!). Will watch some more on YT and then support you and watch the rest of my favorite Firefly episodes, the movie (and quite a lot of The Good Place and TLOU and Fallout) on your Patreon.
PS: lol, I had my own footage synced up and didn't even recognize that's unnecessary until you paused for the first time... 🤣

My favorite episode of the show 🥰 A great way to do a flashback episode. Also, the commentary on this one is super informative. Joss did it himself and he gives a lot of insight into the characters and his writing choices. Definitely have a listen if you can. It add an extra dimension to loving the show

From here on out, they’re 10s across the board. You nailed what’s so strong about this one right on the head— the tone for Mal as a leader, as captain, as almost a father figure to most of the crew, is really perfect here. That last line from him in the infirmary is IT for me: y’all gonna be here when I wake up? Like he is also starting to show how much he needs his crew, not just the other way around.
Next one is the GOAT for me…. Ariel time. 👀👀👀

Hey shipmate, 10 years active duty HM2 Walker. I have reactions to Band of Brothers under my collection tab if you are interested in those as well.

I'm not familiar with your military background, but here's mine—14 years in the U.S. Navy on two Submarines (we call them Boats). I'm glad you were able to see Malcolm's leadership abilities. Most don't. In my 14 years in the submarine service, I've only had one captain that I'd follow on a suicide mission. Malcolm Reynolds would have been another captain I'd join on a suicide mission ( if I was single).
Thanks for really understanding what a leader Malcolm really was.

This is my favorite episode! I love the whole ensemble cast so much and the flashbacks are so much fun. The nonlinear storytelling here is just top notch.

So glad you’ve been able to resume Firefly! This is one of my favorites of the whole series. The cutting between timelines and seeing the onboarding of the core crew—such fantastic storytelling.
