I loved the character, actor, outfit and the licking. Yeah, he had some evil in him but he was my fav guest character.

Just one more thing, I have been told Jubal Early was a I beleve a General back in the civil war of the US and is somehow connected to Nathan Fillion. But then I wondered why would they want a past relative to be so hated. I later found out from the book:-

" Finding Serenity : Anti-Heroes, Lost Shepherds and Space Hookers in Joss Whedon's Firefly (Smart Pop series) by Glenn Yeffeth (Editor), Jane Espenson (Editor) "

that Jubal Early is the vice president of programming for the Fox Network. He wrote some letters in reply to Joss Whedon's letters to him. He (Jubal) is an absolute idiot. I believe that the name was used specifically for a deeper meaning for Joss. I wouldn't be surprised if that is partly how he wrote the script for that episode..."Objects in Space"

Stay Shiny everyone...

Best guest actor and best villain. Far better than any reaver.

I'd be happy with a spin off.

It's a toss up for me between Jubal and Saffron as Joss' best villain in the series. Saffron makes for great action and comedy episodes where rule of fun is important for Firefly, whereas Jubal appealed to Joss' existential leanings and built a very edgy and quirky episode around him.

One thing I didn't like, though, is you have four black characters in the series and the movie, two protagonists and two villains, but all of them are just a hair scary and violent. It kind of creates some unfortunate implications. Maybe in a future episode they'd have introduced a scrawny black genius hacker who wouldn't hurt a firefly.

Probably true, but I do wish Joss had thought of stuff like this when he was making the series so we wouldn't even question it. Also having more Asian-descent cast. Maybe if there's a reboot.
