Plot; While trying to scavenge a derelict ship, the crew of the Serenity attract the unwanted attention of the Alliance.
Another solid episode sees us get our first extended look at the Alliance. What I really like about their portrayal thus far is that they're not just a bunch of two dimensional fascists for us to boo and hiss at when they appear, but more like arrogant bureaucrats. The big boogie man would seem to be the Reavers. I also like how they've been kept off screen, allowing for the dread and unease to build as we see their aftermath and the kind of horror they're capable of. The crew are still finding their way together, which is to be expected, but I find myself liking all of them, even if they don't (yet) like each other.
