After being interrogated by the town’s sheriff, the “registered
companion” comes and saves Captain Mal and his first mate. Does the “registered companion” serve more
than a tag along on the Firefly?
The registered companion in the beginning of the
episode seems to be just a tag-along looking for jobs as the Firefly goes from
place to place. Yet, in the situation
where Captain Mal and his first mate are stranded, she comes to the rescue and
returns them to the Firefly. Using her
quick wit and understanding of how the other towns people perceived her, she
can be of much more use to the Firefly, crew, and Captain Mal.
Captain Mal faces a few situations in which action
is involved. Mutiple times Jayne comes
to the rescue. What do these actions
show about Jayne’s loyalty to his Captain?
Jayne comes off as an antagonizor to the rest of the
crew; especially towards the medic, Simon.
Jayne might be on the same level of right hand man to the Captain as his
first mate. This is because he has
already shown in two different situations to have his Captains bad before the
worst could’ve happened. First he
refused to fight in the bar, but then eventually he comes to help. Then, heavily doped after being shot on the
train, Jayne shoots the main “muscle” of Mr. Nivska before he could do the
worst to Captain Mal.
