Tonight I watched the first episode of the Firefly series, “Serenity,” it begins to introduce the main characters of the series especially Captain Malcolm Reynolds. Captain Malcolm Reynolds is war veteran of the war between the Alliance and the Browncoats. The first five minutes of this episode shows Malcolm Reynolds and Zoe, also a war veteran, fighting against the Alliance in the Battle of Serenity Valley. The Browncoats seem to lose hope until Malcolm Reynolds demands them to hold their positions until the recent request of air support comes to take out the Alliance. Later finding out that air support was not coming and was ordered to surrender, the battle was over. The Alliance ended the battle scene with annihilating Serenity Valley with numerous spaceships, a crushing defeat.
A couple of years later, Captain Reynolds or Mal owns his own a firefly model spaceship, which he named Serenity, to transport goods for jobs. Later on in the episode Mal’s crew has recruited new passengers, which are Shepherd Book, Simon Tam and Dobson. Mal later realizes that one person on his spaceship works with the “Feds” picking wrongly of Simon, Mal is then proven wrong that it was actually Dobson who was working with the Alliance. Dobson explained that he just wants to arrest Simon. At first Mal was open to it until Dobson said they could all be found responsible for harboring fugitives. Eventually letting the fugitives stay on Serenity. This first episodes seems to set up the series very well with showing what kind of person Mal is by taking in fugitives even though its illegal.
