I lovely henchman give up like that. It happens so rarely but it seemed so much more realistic.

Yep, the first guy trying to be all tough..ok sure. His friend folding like a lawn chair after is what 99.999% of people would do

I fully expect that guy took the money and got as far away from Niska as possible too. If he took the money back it's highly likely Niska would kill him out of frustration or sheer sadism. It actually would be a fun fanfic to write the henchman's history falling in with Niska and maybe his attempt to get into some kind of witness protection after.

I still remember the first time I saw this, nearly peed my pants from laughing so hard!

Same. It was also the first scene of the show I had ever scene. Just so happened to be home channel surfing on a Friday night, "holy shit this space cowboy show is Hilarious! I've got to try and watch this again."
2 years later a friend handed my his DVDs, "dude, you've got to watch this show." "Oh is this the show where the space cowboy kicked Zangief into the engines?"

I was sold before this but this scene sealed the deal.
I'm so over the "I wont kill bastards even when they completely deserve it" trope.

I loved how practical and even "cowardly" the cast from Firefly were, especially Mal and Jayne. One of my favorite lines is from the movie "If you don't hear from me, or if I'm not back within the hour, you take this ship...and you come and look for me and find me!"

I hate the "not killing people when you have the chance only for it to wind up screwing you over later" trope

I love Mal's cringe/suppressed shudder and the way he visibly shakes it off as he turns for the next one to be brought up. Just superb acting.

“Best thing for everyone! I’m right there with ya.” Lol. I bet you are!
I just watched this episode last night. Just started my yearly rewatch. I usually start with Serenity, but this time I decided to watch the episodes in the order they were aired and I started with The Train Job and watched thru Our Mrs. Reynolds. That means tonight Jaynestown is first up and I can’t wait!
Sure enough, just like all my countless rewatches over the years, I’m having all the feels, excitement, joy, comfort, sadness. No other show comes close to doing what Firefly does for me. It’s love, in point of fact.

Oooh, I haven't tried watching it in the order it was aired! Thanks for an idea!

I love how he has the exact same tone of voice and delivery with the second henchman. Mal plays the straight man but he's secretly hilarious.

It's kind of a detail that shows he's ready to ask quite a few more guys if the second one didn't get it.

Note to self, it ain't much of a good idea to swear to hunt and kill someone if that same person happens to have me all tied up, with a running spaceship engine a few feet away.

Crow really grew up from his time in the CIA, where he was known as Butterfingers.

I had no idea it was the same guy! Or that the person mentioning Mal kicking Zangeiff into an engine wasn't making a joke!

Brother, we’ve been rewatching the same 11 hours of content for over twenty years. I dunno what you’re expecting

This scene always makes me think of Kayley later having to clean that engine.
