Firefly 12 ‘The Message’

From Tysto commentaries:

In one of the weaker episodes, at least plot-wise, Jayne gets a hat and Mal and Zoe get a dead guy. Simon squanders 12 bits and an opportunity with a pretty girl alone in the dark. We visit what might be the crappiest post office in the Alliance. Simon can’t compete with a guy who can talk his way out of the grave. Mal and Book concoct an unspoken plan that really should have been spoken. Wash flies a spaceship like Jerry Lewis. And there’s no welcome for an old army buddy like shooting him a couple of times due to a misunderstanding… except maybe not bothering to render basic first aid to him afterwards.
