Megan and I go in a different direction for our next sci-fi series as we take up the 2002 series Firefly. The show is an American space Western drama television series. The series is set in the year 2517, after the arrival of humans in a new star system, and follows the adventures of the renegade crew of Serenity, a "Firefly-class" spaceship. The ensemble cast portrays the nine characters who live on Serenity.
Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster as hosts Tom Fox and Megan Dougherty discuss Firefly episode 5, "Safe". From the contrast of relationships encountered by Simon to the intolerance of religion displayed in the town, this episode is sure to wow you! Tom and Megan speculate about the identity of Shepherd Book while talking about the negotiation scene with the cattle buyers and the action that followed. They even discuss the cultural impact of "The Crucible" and the risks of staying hidden. You won't want to miss their interpretation of the tough choice Captain Malcom Reynolds had to make when leaving Simon and River behind to save Shepard. Listen to Tom and Megan as they wrap up the episode and hint at a new adventure in the next one!
