Blog 14: Firefly Episode 14

Today I watched the 14th and final episode of Firefly.  In this episode it is easy to see that the show was cancelled since it didn't really tie up any loose ends.  The episode in general was good in itself though.  In this episode River has some hallucination type things and somehow picks up a gun.  The crew has a discussion wondering whether or not she is to dangerous to be let to run around the ship unwatched.  Little does the crew know, a bounty hunter by the name of Early is making his way onto the ship as the crew begins to go to sleep.  He is obviously very skilled seeing as how he knocks Mal and Shepherd on concious, ties Kaylee up, and has Simon as a type of hostage.  He also locks the rest of the crew in their sleeping quarters.  The bounty hunter is on the ship looking for River.  River is quite a few steps ahead of him though.  She gets onto his ship somehow and broadcasts her voice acting as if she is the ship talking to the bounty hunter.  In the end, Simon ends up shot in the leg but is alright and Mal sends the bounty hunter flying into space, literally.  It is decided that River is to stay on the ship and everyone seems to live happily ever after.  With this ending, I do plan on watching the movie Serenity with the same cast and crew who filmed Firefly.  It should be interesting.
