Firefly and Faith: Jaynestown

A quote:

"It's not about making sense. It's about believing in something and letting that belief be real enough to change your life. It's about Faith. You don't fix Faith, River. It fixes you."

I really needed that episode when I saw it.

I'll be posting this somewhere else shortly, but only a few more days until Serenity is out.

Great series, badly mis-scheduled and mis-managed by FOX when it was on the network, and deserved of so much more.

Thank the heavens that Serenity will be there for fans to see. Most definitely a fan, and waiting with little patience for the big screen debut.

It'll be weeks before I see Serenity, but I haven't seen the entire series yet, either. No time to borrow the box set, unless I wind up on staff duty...

Just to let you know, I emailed you about a week ago. Hope you're feeling better.

That's kind of the point in the whole mudder/statue, thing, too. At the end Jayne can't figure it all out, and Mal tells him that most people who have statues made of them aren't really worthy of it. The statue is for the people, not for the guy who it is of.

Same with faith. The real power of belief is in what it does for us.

It is kind of telling how Jayne betrays them later, though. My favorite scene in the whole series is where Mal has him in the airlock and jayne tells him to 'make something up,' because even if he is dead he doesn't want people to think of him that way. Says a lot about repentance, too.

Yeah, SciFi just showed that one this past Friday. I'd say it's a good episode, but I haven't seen one I didn't like, yet...
