Book (spoilers)
Saturday, October 22, 2005

Well, I am going to see Serenity again today, bringing along a blind date/non-fan.


I was watching Firefly again last night, and something occurred to me, just looking at Book throughout the episodes...





I think it possible that Book may have been an Operative in his prior life. It would fit his proficiency in fighting (the pilot), his knowledge of weaponry (War Stories), his quote in Objects in Space, and the fact that the bounty hunter knew Book wasn't a shepard, also in OiS. I think we all kinda figured he was an Alliance type, but I think this particular occupation makes sense more than his being a judge, as some have suggested. It is more likely that a bounty hunter would recognize an Operative (who is sort of like a bounty hunter) than a judge. Oh, and a judge, while deserving respect, probably wouldnt command as much alacrity or urgency as a retired Operative would when injured, in Safe.

Sorry if someone mentioned this already, I havent been actively monitoring the posts here.

I hope to write more thoughts about the movie tonight!
