Episode #4 - 'Firefly' 1x04 'Shindig'

ReWatchable is here for another episode! This week we discuss the fourth episode of Firefly, "Shindig."

Don't forget that this podcast is spoiler-free, featuring both Firefly fans and newbies. So it's safe for everyone to listen!

Shownotes:

- From the newbies: Kristen loves Kaylee, but Tariq wasn't impressed by the episode.
- Mal's dialogue dominates our favorite lines.
- Laura gives us a little behind-the-scenes information about Summer Glau.
- Is Mal a hero, a thief, or a little bit of both?
- Companions are well respected, but they're also treated like property.
- Why the HELL would Inara go for Atherton?
- Did Mal really need a date to the ball or was this a way to make things up to Kaylee?
- It was cool seeing Kaylee step out of her tom-boy clothes and into that pink, frilly dress.
- Laura poses a question to the newbies - how innocent do they think Kaylee is?
- Have Book, Simon, and River been accepted into the Serenity family?
- Tariq does not like Jayne.
- Is life on Serenity changing the newcomers?
- There has to be more going on with Shepherd Book. Everyone is curious about his back story.
- If no one trusts Jayne, why do they keep him around?
- We make more Harry Potter references. Of course.
- Tariq connects the floating chandelier to the TARDIS. No, really.
- Why did Mal defend Inara's honor?
- Do Inara and Mal have a thing for each other?
- Who does Tariq ship himself with??
- Were we surprised that Mal left Atherton alive?
- The cargo was...cows!?
- Do we think Inara would've left Serenity if Atherton wasn't such a jerk?
- Would Inara have made a similar sacrifice for anyone else besides Mal?

Feedback:
- Another Doctor Who reference!
- Can we think of the Serenity screw as a family? Where do each of them fall on the family tree?
- Tariq doesn't like Book either. Just like Selina, he thinks he's EVIL.
- Apparently Adam Baldwin wanted Jayne to end up with Inara, but we don't think Inara would EVER go for that.
