The Train Job. Blog 2

I like the episode because it is very plausible. It doesn’t include anything very fantastic for a SciFi show and it seems that this could be a very real future for mankind. I enjoyed how Captain Malcolm Reynolds and his crew and friends are trying to live free in a time when there is little freedom. They are willing do whatever it takes to survive but they still have compassion and care about others. For example, Reynolds agreed to become thieves for a local crime lord named Adelei Niska. I’m sure in a different time, he would never have taken the job, but he really needs the money so he has to do it. When he finds out that the cargo contains life saving medicine for a poor disease ridden town, he decides to bring it back and do the right thing. Even his crew is honorable and when Reynolds is left behind on the train, his pilot goes back to save him even though it might mean the crime lord Niska might try to kill him. The sheriff even realizes that these are good people and when he catches them returning the crates, he lets them go when he could have very easily arrested them for stealing the medicine. The episode was good and had some very exciting moments and I like it. Not because it is funny like a lot of the other shows are. My dad and I enjoy watching some of the others and laughing at how ridiculous they are but this show is much better.
