River tam in firefly and serenity cast11/26/2023 ![]() ![]() here I am."Īccording to Joss Whedon, Early survives the episode he was evidently considered as the antagonist for the film Serenity, The Operative being used instead when Brooks was not available. Early has the distinction of uttering the last lines in the Firefly television series as he floats through space: "Well. It appears to be a larger version of Jayne's holdout pistol.Īt the end of "Objects in Space", the crew leaves him floating through space. It fires bullets, but is only fired once on screen while fighting with Simon. He is armed with a custom pistol in "Objects in Space" (S01E14). He shares his name with the Confederate Civil War General Jubal Anderson Early, from whom Nathan Fillion has claimed to be descended. Joss Whedon's DVD commentary for this episode reveals that Early was partly inspired by the Star Wars character Boba Fett, and Early's spacecraft (especially the interior) shares a resemblance with Fett's spacecraft. Jubal Early was portrayed by Richard Brooks for the episode. He gets dropped with the rest of the trash when Serenity leaves the snowy planet where Mal picked up the Operative. She threatened to torture him, bringing tweezers within an inch of his eye before stopping, admitting that she was trying to scare him. Jubal was then overpowered by Kaylee, who freed her friends and chained up the bounty hunter. He then asked about the fate of Shepherd Book, Wash, and Zoe only to learn that the first two are dead while the latter had been captured by the Alliance. With River in a medically induced coma, he proceeded to capture Mal, Simon and Bea while locking Jayne and Inara in their rooms. Once the New Resistance made contact with Serenity, Jubal killed the entire crew, excluding their leader Bea, who was onboard Serenity, before planting a bomb to destroy her ship. Sure enough, a member of the New Resistance ran his mouth and Jubal stow aboard their starship. After sharing a meal with the captain and his XO, he explains that he'll let someone else lead him right to Serenity. Jubal appears on an Alliance starship, forced to kill the guards in front of the captain's office before affirming his intention to hunt down Serenity. He also implied he would rape Kaylee Frye if she did not do as he told her, and used the same threat of raping Kaylee when he dealt with Simon Tam. This is directly contradicting his own words, when he stated that he doesn't enjoy harming people. When River Tam read his mind, she revealed that he was a sadist, who tortured his neighbor's dog as a child. ![]() He was given to rambling on philosophic matters in the middle of tense situations, frequently asking, "Does that seem right to you?" He may have been hard of hearing or easily distracted, as he repeatedly misheard what others were saying to him. Early was athletic and adept at unarmed combat.
