YMMV / Firefly E04 "Shindig"

Go To

  • Crosses the Line Twice: Malcolm wins a duel with a truly obnoxious and stuck-up opponent that had it coming:
    Sure. It would be humiliating. Having to lie there while the better man refuses to spill your blood. Mercy is the mark of a great man. (lightly stabs him with sword) Guess I'm just a good man. (stabs him again) Well, I guess I'm all right...
  • Harsher in Hindsight: When Zoe and Wash are Talking in Bed about what to do if Jayne decides to take over the ship. Just try laughing at Wash joking about how to properly eulogize Zoe after watching her at his funeral in the Big Damn Movie.
  • One-Scene Wonder: Murphy due to his snarky lines as a Cool Old Guy.
    Murphy: Forgive me. I cannot abide useless people.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Mal's behavior towards Inara could be chalked up to their UST and Mal's dislike of the upper class, but he still spends the episode self-righteously slut shaming Inara and otherwise acting like she isn't an experienced Companion who knows what she's doing.
