As for the characters: I’m on the fence about Kaylee. [Wanna have some fun with the character? Imagine dropping her into BSG ] Book – had the series continued – had the potential to be a much more interesting character. There’ve been just enough hints dropped that he’s not always been a man of the cloth, and in fact was high up (military or govt) in the bad guys’ chain of command. Retreating to the good book to escape all that? A subterfuge? Hiding from others, or from himself? He may quote from the Bible, but I don’t get the sense that he believes half of what he’s saying – or that he’s trying to convince himself it’s true. Simon, OTOH, bugs the crap out of me.

Jaynestown’s still my favorite episode. Written by Ben Edlund, no less.

Oh, and I like the Chinese/Western mashup. I forgot to check if the subtitles translated Mandarin, but in some ways, I’m more amused not knowing what they said.
