No power in the 'verse can stop us. Harris/Walz!

(Sorry, I can't remember if that was in Firefly. Or Serenity.)

It was the *other* episode with Niska.

Sincerely, why are blue gloves so creepy looking? (And, boy, are they.) Is it a reference to some other cultural artifact?

Maybe because blue skin is a sign of suffocation?

Gregg Henry (Sheriff Bourne) putting his very punchable face to marvelous use in nearly 200 roles. My favorite was the supremely slimy Hollis Doyle in Scandal.

Speaking of actors who really know how to convey sinister, I'm delighted to see that Michael Fairman (Adelai Niska) is still working at age 90.

Every time I see Tom Towles (Lund) I think of him as Otis in Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer. Still makes me shiver a little, nearly 40 years later!

Thank you, ziggy. Firefly lights up my Sunday afternoons.

Now, about how the network scheduled this to be the first episode shown. There is so much in this episode, both little resonances and major plot points, that don't make as much sense if you haven't seen the actual first episode. I haven't seen, nor have I sought to find, much info on why the network borked the showing of this series almost from the get-go, but it would seem there was someone in the C-suite who was out to sabotage it.
