Jayne has been a bit of a condundrum so far on Firefly, but in “Jaynestown”, we learn a bit more about his illustrious past and what makes him tick. Turns out, it’s money. Okay, that wasn’t that much of a surprise.
Tuning In Episode 7: Firefly, Jaynestown
Mike
-This episode more than any other gives a clear picture of a society that was built no designed to have an upper tier with all the benefits of what wealth and power can provide and an underclass developed from indentured servitude as their desperate families sold their children’s futures for a place on the ships fleeing the Earth.
Eric Brasure
-Agreed!
