But at the same time, they set the scene up as if we really are supposed to believe that Mal and the Shepherd, (let me repeat the second name for emphasis, the Shepherd, the religious guy, the guy who’s constantly reprimanding people for their skullduggery) are really planning to betray this man. And that’s what makes the next scene so confusing because the writers have already established that this threat is a red herring. So, we already know that Mal and the Shepherd have no intention of turning the organ donor in. Viewers likely already know that the Shepherd has figured out that the buyers are not from the Alliance therefore, there’s no danger in confronting them because the Alliance won’t come after them if they do. He just happens to show up right as Mal and the Shepherd are debating about turning the organ smuggler - who is also an old war buddy of Mal’s - over to their pursuers. While hiding in the cave, the organ smuggler conveniently decides to stop flirting with Kaylee and visit Mal and the others so he can see if they’ve lost his buyers. This was a hint that the Shepherd had a plan but again the viewer is scarcely given a chance to realize this because we are suddenly bombarded with another hallmark of bad writing - sudden contrivance driving the plot. The crew eventually takes refuge in a cave and is allowed a brief moment of reprieve before the villains begin dropping bombs through the canyon in the hope of collapsing whatever cave they are hiding in.ĭuring this chase, the Shepherd mentions that, although there is an Alliance station on the planet, the pursuers - who have claimed to be a part of the Alliance - did not radio in.

Meanwhile, Serenity flies down to an ice planet and begins maneuvering through a series of cliffs, to evade its pursuers. So, after some superficial shaking on the part of Serenity, the plot trudges on before the viewer can ask any questions. While the organ smuggler is telling his tale, the writers suddenly remember that the bad guys have been shooting at the ship this entire time. This was infuriating and confusing but the show doesn’t give us much time to dwell the implications. When he woke up, Kaylee, who was having another spat with Simon, decided to fall in love with the recently undead man. It turned out the man in the coffin had faked his own death.
