and one of the most powerful moments I’ve ever seen in any TV series is in one of those episodes.

Which was that? I'll have to get them again on Netflix.

The show was very conservative in its political and social viewpoint.

Throughout the series there is sexual tension between the captain and the incredibly hot “companion”. He constantly ribs her about her basically being a whore but you can tell it’s because he cares and it’s pretty darned obvious they both like each other.

So they go to this planet where a “rogue” companion runs a “whore house” very much as an american old west thing. The companion seems to be a close friend of Firefly’s companion. And she eventually gets to bed the captain.

Our companion sees him coming out of her room the next morning. It’s awkward but she says she is very glad he did it and that her friend was the perfect one to do it with after all these years of him apparently being celebant. And they walk away.

The next scene shows our girl sitting in a corner of a room sobbing her eyes out.

The show does not hide from our humanness and try to champion progessive nonsense about the nature of man and how God wired us. At the end of the day, in spite of all her training, the man she loved slept with someone else. The training was moot.
