I finally finished that episode hours later, because I would get anxious, and pause it. I’m not sure I would’ve made it through without y’all going through the same thing. And that ending? If I wasn’t waiting to watch it with you guys next week, I would’ve kept it rolling into the next one. Thank you, Ziggy.

But River will know what he did. She knew all along.

Ah but what if he did it bc he got cut and Mal didn't care? It must be confusing to be unstuck in time.

The cut was partly to do with what Jayne was wearing (Blue Sun t-shirt).

I think the River knew at the beginning of the episode he was going to betray them. That’s why she slashed him

I think this is episode nine and we’ve got 14 episodes and then the movie serenity so by the time we get done I think a bunch of us are going to be remembering some of the phrases. It would be really fun if we did.!

I’m going to look up the website that I’ve been pulling the translations from .

. Initially, I was looking at three different websites and every single one of them had a different way of spelling the way of pronouncing the mandarin.

I’ll put that in for the next episode comments so that during the week you look into more of the background if you want

Oh Jayne, you’re about to get a little lesson in what it means to be part of crew…. And what happens when you betray somebody on your team

As soon as I put my leather gloves on, Gryff starts hanging out by the door because she knows I’m going out to get firewood. Iopened the pantry door and two of the cats went in there to play. Serendipity got her AirTag put on cause I knew she was gonna get outside. Why is it that I am struggling to outsmart cats?

I’ve never seen it and I’m behind you because I started late. And the more anxious I get the more. I just do this in little short snippets

I’m still back in the morgue, and I know it’s gonna get tense just from the reactions I’ve seen that people have posted here. So I keep pausing it and doing other stuff. Also, I’m trying to haul loads of firewood into refill the stack in the sunroom, and the cats are keeping watch for their opportunity to jump out the door. And I keep telling them outside later, and they only hear the outside part and they don’t pay any attention to later.
