Well first off I'd like to say that I was quite amused with some of the cast members such as Gina Torres and Alan Tudyk. Gina Torres plays in this show as a very unreserved and tough woman as opposed to her roles in Gossip Girl and Huge where she plays more of a shy character. Then Alan Tudyk who in this show as a pilot is quite different from his role in Dodgeball as a pirate.
So as I mentioned in my blog before I'm into teenage kind of soap operas such as One Tree Hill and Grey's Anatomy, so it could just be because those shows are pretty easy to follow but I thought Firefly was kind of hard to follow along with. I guess it also would have helped if I would have watched the first two episodes. So in this episode the crew has to steal this package from a train for some evil guy which I don't remember his name. Zoe and Mal board the train and make their way to the cargo when they get to a part of a train full of the Alliance guards. They get back to the cargo and lift it to the ship with only a slight complication from one of the Alliance guards. Mal and Zoe don't get off the train and it is stopped because of the situation. They find out that the cargo was medicine. Inera comes and saves them from questioning. The episode continues but what I thought was interesting was when Mal decides to give the medicine back.
I felt that at the beginning of the episode Mal was the sort of guy that didn't care about anyone but himself. With this he is risking his life because of the deal he made with the man. Even with this risk he is willing to do the better thing by giving back the medicine for the sick people aboard the train. This shows a real selflessness on his part as opposed to my initial first impression of him.
