hello there welcome back to the channel my fellow
brown coats it is your boy Ellie Mose your 22 year old lawnfield city Australia shooting a shot
baby and today we are up to episode three of firefly titled bushwhacked and no I ain't talking
about the Daniel Stern movie but yes we are making our way through the series last episode we had the
train job which was the original pilot that aired um when the show came out it wasn't the actual
pilot intended um Serenity which was the first episode
we watched but last episode we got
to see the second pilot which was Ed or the actual one which aired when the show came
out and if I was to make a quick judgment on which one I prefer I much prefer Serenity I think
Serenity is the better pilot by far in my opinion um I just think Serenity due to the run
time uh it had more time to get you got more time to get a hold of the characters
and understanding of how they got on board um Better World building in my opinion as as
well with the visu
al cues rather than just getting it handed to you on a platter I felt
like the second episode rushed a lot of the world winning aspects and really explained it
to you a lot and I felt like it dumbed down the audience in my opinion but yes never mind we have
seen the first two episodes we have seen both the intended pilot by Joss Whedon and the actual
pilot which aired but yes now we are up to episode 3 titled bushrag let's waste no more time
let's have some fun let's get into the reaction w
e found a new solar system and hundreds of newers
were terraformed and colonized okay the central planets formed the alliance and decided all the
planets had to join under their rule it seems like this recap is like on that point happening
everything and this from what you guys have said it might be just the Disney plus version that's
inserted this chat um but yeah I really enjoyed the comment section last episode um all the
comments have been fantastic you guys giving me an understanding o
f anara's role as a companion
um and questioning certain elements about Malcolm which I like as well and I gave a theory one of
the comments I think was about why Malcolm would let a priest involved or a ship Shepherd to come
aboard someone is highly religious and I thought to myself I'm just like okay we know Malcolm
has lost faith because in the first episode of Serenity you know he kissed the cross um in
the opening battle but then towards later in the episode you saw his sort of views o
n faith and
outlook on God and religion and I think Malcolm as a character he is amused by a lot of things like
you saw in the episode the train job that you know um that he saw there were Alliance people on
board and that just made I guess the heist all the more enticing for him all the more fun um
that he's you know doing it while slipping past Alliance soldiers and even in the first episode
when he played the trick on Simon about Kaylee being dead you didn't tell he finds Amusement in
c
ertain certain things and I feel like him having Shepard on board and allowing him to be on board
is sort of an amusement thing for him where he's just like he's gonna take pleasure in it have fun
with a religious person on board because he knows his views on religion he's not a man of Faith
anymore and I think he's gonna have fun with that I think he's gonna uh be uh sort of and like
he's gonna have and he's gonna seek enjoyment out of seeing Shepard have his like religious Imports
on cert
ain things Americans just a bit like he's just gonna toy with him muck around I feel like
it's sort of like an amusement thing in my opinion in my opinion just judging off Malcolm's um like
what Malcolm has done in the last two episodes Hey space basketball Space Jam River's like what game is
this what sorcery is this haha hey yo and Nara you
cannot enter the room like that proximity alert must be coming up on something oh
my God we're all doomed who's flying this thing all right that would
be me back to work sure yeah little Kelly's always fun man short play for us tomorrow don't mind a lot of the ball looks like it's just
duct taped it's like a spherical object it's just duct tape all around it and they continue to
play the game despite a proximity alert oh [Music] yep time out time out you're enough the guy we just ran over here feeling closer get you close close
enough to ring the doorbell what is it it's a ghost oh man I'm gonna have a I swear if
Riva is right and it is a
ghost I don't want him in a horror episode I just dealt with one an
angel and I can't take him well I don't care I'm still free you can't take the sky from me there's no Beacon which means it's likely no
one's looking to find her all the more reason for us to do the right thing I was about you
just say a prayer when we slide on by shall I remind you of the story of the Good Samaritan
I'd rather you didn't but we'll check it out oh man No One's Gonna mind if we take a look
around see if the
re's not my values in my life yeah someone could be hurt Jane heard value yeah
yeah someone could be hurt let's get on foreign S as well um where it's like sort of a shot of
the ship and then it just quickly zooms into it really reminds me of the expanse and I know
the expanse came out after but those expanses another fantastic show in space in my in my
opinion I absolutely love the experience and it does use those quick Zoom um shortcuts but he
does use those quick zooms when you have sort
of like a wide shot or uh something of an object
in space and it quickly zooms on in on it the expanse does utilize that a lot but yeah I can
see where the expanse got some sort of influence from in this show because a lot of the elements in
this show kind of remind me of the expanse as well I thought I'd offer my services in case
anyone on board required medical attention you're going in first we'll holler if we need you something wrong but I I suppose it's just the thought of a little
Mi
ler and glass being the only thing separating a person from nothing can do to a man like that
fella we bumped into he likely stuck up under our belly about now what's up space trash
does you know kind of latches on the first big something stops long enough that'd be a bit
like you and your sister wouldn't it Dane man Jane and Simon's relationship uh it's gonna be an
interesting one over this season or sort of season for some reason as well I love how their
space suits they're not your typic
al you know squeaky clean spacesuits it still
has like that sort of a western vibe to it um and like they seem Rusty worn down even
like the color grading on them or like the color of them like very Brown very dull like
colors um and they're not like Crystal Clean as well they're not yeah I just I just like the
style stylistic choice of that in my opinion foreign also doesn't have access
to potentially the best resources serious crude disappearance
uh we're in for a horror someone was in t
he middle of an entry oh my how does TV static get me grab your med kid let's hope it man
wants us both over there on a double whatever I ain't waiting I'll meet you over there
but don't take forever still gotta get suited up foreign Simon is in this situation and everyone's just got no suit on um what are you doing here and what's with
the soup oh another one really hilarious I got time for games as well lend a hand you
can run with Kaylee two and three two and three episodes each no need t
o be greedy we're all
the people ship says lipo launched more than a week ago we're gonna assume everyone got off
okay anyway we're just here to pick the bones so you two start in the engine room Jane you
take the Gathering you um had this on wrong Simon's just getting bullied sure you signed on
Lifeboat wouldn't hold a third of that I know wash any luck I think I found something that pretty
well matches that class layout looks about right seems to me any valuables if there are
already lik
ely be stored somewhere it's engine running we should be long thank you I really like a lot of the handheld
camera movement being used this episode um especially to make it feel like you're
actually present in the ship as well you're walking with them um and the camera's shaking a
lot it's not like intense shaky cam but like just you know just a bit unbalanced locked I don't
know say that's like to be a very good sign ah man nah man those those and me
don't mesh well together as well I love
the atmosphere of this episode so
far as well here like you can tell you can tell not everything is gonna go according to
plan or not everything is is what it seems as the characters make it out to be you're still
uncomfortable and on the edge of the heel seat despite like the episode giving no hints as to a
mysterious creature entity or what's gone wrong um you just assume okay a Lifeboat discharged um
with all 16 passengers on board but um as we heard before um a Lifeboat can't carry tha
t many people
so in the back of your head as these characters are traversing the ship and looking obviously for
valuables you're just thinking to yourself wait this isn't what it seems there's something wrong
um something has gone badly wrong as we saw there was a individual that crash landed on the window
um and that's playing in the back of your head as your characters or as our characters or our
heroes are constantly walking around this ship um and I'm interested to see there's like
a r
eally good Aura of mystery here gin seed protein crop supplements everything a grown
family needs to make a fresh start on a new world about a fortune forget the rest we just take
this stuff you need a hand I'll get out of here sir even on a Lifeboat you'd think those
who escaped would find room for some of this exactly what happened hi River nobody escaped oh what a reveal that's some
Hive mentality stuff that's some alien stuff don't ask questions what a switcher what a switch up fantastic
use of lighting there as
well Zoe okay from above sir galley River No One's Gonna Hurt You no mercy no
more than we already did no mercy lots of Mercy we got lots and lots [Music] oh yes he's a real Beast so
wonder you're still alive that's a dub for Simon real hero killing all them people what no we
don't believe that maybe he was infected by some parasite do we I don't know Captain would
have brought him on board without the case dope them I don't think just
do it no mercy no resistance
I noticed that some of the individuals
hung up had a hole in their chest like a open up like a xenomorph
had burst out of the chest or they got hit by a plasma Caster by a predator did open up what's inside is he infected how's
our patient aside from borderline malnutrition he's in remarkably good health so he'll live
then which to my mind is unfortunate not a very charitable attitude Captain charity
be putting a bullet in the spring pan receiving the suffering the more we can do for now n
ot after what he's
seen what do you mean the ship was hit by reavers oh okay oh girl that's not good can you know you don't no way we'll run into like I said before
you were crazy guilt the rest I took a walk in space just a second ago
you said that don't matter what I said Breakers don't leave no survivors speaking
wouldn't say they did what are you suggesting we took him off that boat this place he's
gonna live from that wallet I don't accept that whatever horror he witnessed whatever
ac
ts of barbarism it was done by men nothing more reavers ain't men of course
they are too long removed from civilization perhaps but man and I believe there's a
power greater than men a power that heals they were too busy gnawing on your insides we were saying man they forgot how to be he got out to the edge of the Galaxy
to that place of nothing and that's what they became why are we still sitting here it was reavers shouldn't we be gone work ain't
done so substantial money value sitting ove
r there oh I ain't going over there with them bodies no
running away not a favor is messed with them Jane I'll go shout out Simon dealt with bodies I'd
like to go with him maybe see what I can do about putting those folks to rest she's already resting
pretty good Sheriff we ever thought of that how we treat our dead as part of what makes us different
than those did with slaughter I can have these people looking over my shoulder once we're done
I ain't saying there's any peace to be had on t
he off chance there is spokes deserve a little of
it I love the character interactions in the show I think I've got you figured out all right and
Nara could put me to sleep with her voice and that's that's a compliment okay she's
so calm and Susie pretty Captain what you just said I didn't think you were
one for rituals and such I'm not but I figured it'll keep Killers busy for a while
no reason to concern that was to be done huh what is that booby trap reavers sometimes leaving
for the re
scue shift triggered it on the last time and when we detach it blows oh I don't
know she tight until what Neighbors come back looks like they've jerry-rigged it with a
pressure catch it's the only thing to work with all these spare parts probably bypass that
easy we get to the DC line you tell me right now little Kayla you really think you can do this
sure occupy the others while the main cruise deals with the problem besides if I mess up
it's not like you'll be able to yell at me so if the
of the episode before the train job
was the first episode that aired this was the first introduction to the reavers right um
and still you get a sense of how afraid the characters are and sort of what the reavers
sort of are and they're sort of established um uh stature in the universe um but in my
opinion I still prefer the first episode interaction with the Reaver ship going by
and how scared everyone was and the tension in that scene and them coming into The Fray
again later in that ep
isode in Serenity but this does the job quite well as well with
how afraid Jane was um and yeah you saw him in the beginning of episode playing
games with Simon marking around sort of had that cocky attitude rivers are mentioned
Rivas hit the ship and Jane's scared to crab and reavers are savages I reckon River has some sort
of connection to individuals in pain or something along the lines of that And So It Begins oh she's done it Shadow Kaylee everyone's home wash let's go ah great s come b
ack like it's gonna matter just do it uh it's the alliance boarded sexual position how are they gonna get out of this one what are they wanted for it's not available stack everything right here playing psych
I don't want to seem like we got anything to hide I'm gonna give them Alliance voice the
wrong impression now go run fetch your sister you gotta show that you've got nothing tied
be straight up honest with them if it's a routine check they'll just routine check the
thing there's no way o
ut of this with a fight is this your vessel it is bought and paid for
I'm captain Malcolm Reynolds and is this everyone captain my way of crew it is though in our
infirmary you're going to find a fellow We rescued off that dearly saved him I guess you could say
straight through the back that's the common area that guy ain't gonna be found I
take it you rescued them as well I searched this vessel I won't find
them will I no children on this book I didn't say each other
siblings adults I mis
understood no chance they could have stowed to what fireflies tend to have those
Troublesome little nooks do they Smugglers and the like tend
to prefer them just for that reason we'll continue this conversation
in a more official capacity on every inch of this junker talk oh right this is going to set them back a
bit if everything gets tossed out so yeah curiosity a woman of stature such
as yourself falling in with these times I rent the shuttle from Captain Reynolds which
allows me to exp
and my client base and the captain finds that having a companion on board opens
certain doors that might otherwise be closed ahead and you love him I don't see how
that's relevant that's your husband yes Captain's looking forward seem to work out you fought with Captain
Rosenberg fought with a lot of people in the war M sometimes to you is there any particular
reason you don't wish to discuss your marriage don't see that it's any of your business is all right the legs okay I definitely have
to say it was her legs put that down her legs and right where her legs meet her back
that actually that whole area that is an above it so that you strain your primary
artery function and you end up having to recycle secondary exhaust
through a bypass system just so you don't end up pumping it through the main
atmo feed and asphyxiating the entire crew you've seen what she wears forget about
it have you ever been with a warrior woman foreign hey I love the interchanging cuts where
the char
acters conversating in this episode and I remember Joe Sweden used a similar um uh I forgot
which Buffy episode it was but he used a similar situation of cutting um between interviews in
Buffy um where Buffy was a counselor and she was interviewing different uh children uh from
her school and it was cleverly edited together with certain uh bits of dialogue leading on to
the next character and the same situation applies here however with the interchanging dialogue
here we don't only have Cut
s between different people we have Cuts between also the alliance
searching the ship and what they're discovering and some voice overs of the characters being
interviewed and the alliance at the same time searching certain objects on the ship and I think
it's really well edited and put together foreign that's definitely Jane's stuff Ed Space Commander way of things not
always so plain as on the central planet these fugitives that we're looking
for the brother and the sister is that a fact t
hey also left Port aboard a
firefly class transport Persephone is a big place yes yes it isn't that Firefly isn't and if
anyone's hiding anywhere on it we will find them the one they cannot find is River
because obviously I don't know if she will hold her own in interrogation my guy right there is just looking under a plate Malcolm Reynolds playing 4D chess with the
way he's hiding Simon and river right there hahaha what a fantastic shot just gotta hold the composure for now I love how River
's just taking
it all in being outside the ship my girl's been used to freaking torture
and experimentation and she's like wow I'm gonna make a leap here and figure this is
your first tour out here on the border it's weird but then I can tell by your records you have
a a tendency to inspire that quality in people I noticed your ship's called serenity
you were stationed on here at the end of the war in battle of Serenity
Valley took place there if I recall independent suffered a pretty
cru
shing defeat there some say that after Serenity the brown coats were
through that the war ended in that Valley after a value on the wrong side up they've been
the losing side still not convinced it was Obama how you attack that transport still finding the
same battle Sergeant only those weren't soldiers you murdered they were civilians families citizens
loyal to the alliance trying to make a new life for themselves and you just can't stand that
Canyon so we attacked that ship then brought t
he only living Survivor to our infirmary I'd ask him
dumbass Captain only I'm not sure he'll be able to speak with his tongue split down the middle
because I haven't seen that kind of torture since we're Bound by law you need to be concerned about right now things
go the way they are there's going to be blood y damn they made him watch they probably tried to turn
away they would have let him you call him a survivor he's not a man comes up against that kind
of will the only way to deal with
it I suspect is to become it he's following the
only course left to him first I'll try to make himself look like one cut
on himself desecrate his flesh and then he'll start acting like one you
better go check on your Medics captain let's have two and he's up here to escort Sergeant
Reynolds to the brig you idiot honestly this Captain is so frustrating I love I remember
um when I talked about the first episode the first episode was really well in terms of World
building it was a lot of show
don't tell whereas the actual pilot that aired was more of exposition
heavy explaining things that happened in the world where I love the cues of the first episode but
this situation here in terms of the reavers um the dialogue is Well written in
terms of hyping them up as a threat and the anticipation is real or hopefully we do
eventually get to see the reavers this season um and it better live up to the hype um but yeah I
love how the reavers are talked about and the fear in Malcolm Reyn
olds as high as talking about him
and even the captain you know trying to throw them away as if there's some sort of bedtime story
but they're not and it makes you think as well capability of these individuals if they're
making a guy watch what they do to other individuals and it turns in basically to
like one where he has no other option damn I cannot wait but that's that that that that's
a situation where uh telling instead of showing is done really well in terms of building the
hyperten
sity and anticipation for something it's like a ride in a theme park let's go again proceeds of the sale will be applied to the
cost of your defense get them out of here come on it's okay yep yep yep yep yep
he consent team on the ship somehow it sends danger or whatever
you don't have to be afraid let me come back here looking for familiar
ground he's on the hunt we let him go first right if you want to uh thanks I'll really have the advantage I wonder if we see this individual and
how he'
s mutilated himself if this is going to be the first hint in teaser as
to what the reavers potentially look like oh damn hell yeah there you go Captain he saved your life hahaha it takes the cargo far out
I'm done what a dog yeah yeah and we civilized hopefully they managed
to store some of the cargo on board still they should have just left it in the secret
compartment but then again you didn't want to show that you had something tired oh that was that was
a good episode actually I really
enjoyed that one um I think in terms of the first three
episodes I've seen I still think Serenity ranks first possibly and this one um I think
is a by far better episode than the train job um I really enjoyed this episode really
enjoyed the Thriller horror Vibes to it um really enjoyed again the Riva tease um having
seen the first episode it's much better but as an introductory thing to the reavers if this wasn't
if I hadn't seen Serenity it's still great as well um you just get a sort of t
ease and hint
into what the reavers are like and yeah it was it was really really good like really
some really great tension scenes um um and it didn't actually go the way I expected it to go
I thought it was going to be some sort of like um alien creature or maybe some sort of parasite
on board but it was the reavers and that was their introduction um they saved the Reaver introduction
for the second episode that aired and um I really enjoyed some of the character interactions as
I said s
ome of the camera work was fantastic um especially the entertaining um uh the camera
work was fantastic the editing was great as I really enjoyed the editing in the scene involving
the dialogue or the um the interrogation scenes with the captain of the alliance ship you know
interrogating all the individuals on board and how the dialogue led to certain um questions
with other characters it was really well put together and yeah I really I really enjoyed
that episode but again it's the charac
ter interactions that I really enjoy because of all
the distinct backgrounds and the characters and their personalities it won't make it's what makes
the character interactions really fascinating and joining to watch um and then again it feels like
the show is still building up but the episode um is still good despite being
just a normal Salvage operation um obviously it's not what it seems um it
was attacked by Rivas the reavers that are trap they had to deal with that issue and
then you
see the effects of the reavers um in terms of like the individual having to watch
his whole family um being mutilated and destroyed by the reavers like absolutely violated and he
had no other option but to start doing it to himself and it's complete savagery and it makes
you more hyped to see the reavers themselves um setting up a fantastic antagonist for this
season if we ever do get a reveal of them I hope we do um I don't know but yeah it was great
to see Malcolm weave his way out of tha
t situation obviously the captain it's not going to let them
profit despite him saving his life I think he's like I'll choose one or the other listen you get
to leave we didn't find anything we didn't find the brother and sister were looking for you did
save my life but however you are not profiting off this Salvage Mission we're going to keep all the
goods and we're going to destroy all the evidence like yeah a really great episode nonetheless
some really gay atmospheric um scenes involvin
g obviously the other ship that they had to go
on board of and yeah I cannot complain I cannot complain I like this episode I really enjoyed the
episode bushwhacked episode three of fifeline as always hope you guys enjoyed it's been your boy
Ellie Moses take care God bless foreign [Music]
