Post 6

I liked the discussions we had in class today because it helped me look at all the events and how they connected into the future episodes. I think the train job is a good episode to watch after finally finishing the series. It helps show how the people on the crew felt initially and it foreshadows future events. It allows the viewers to understand that even though most of the crew makes their income through illegal jobs they still have morals and always look out for others and each other. The episode also reveals how even though Inara's profession may not seem noble she still is acting very high class and respectable. The audience also sees how the doctor may eventually become accepted and welcomed by the whole crew even if it has not happened yet. You can infer that the doctor and his sister River will stick around because they have been accepted by Captain Malcolm and the doctor shows he has a good work ethic and is very useful and in deep space anyone useful who can work would be nice to have around.Nisko is another character that was introduced in this episode who proves to be a very key character later in the series. Nisko is also important because it seems whenever he goes he tests the trust and loyalty of people. One of his henchman proves loyalty to Nisko and continuing evil while Nisko tests the commitment of Mal's crew without his knowledge. The fear he instills in his enemies almost caused the crew to abandon their captain and good friend Zoey.
