You're probably right Sevenpercent, but don't forget the role that panic could play in the situation. If Jayne is absolutely terrified of Reavers then imagine how some ordinarly townsfolk on the rim would react. Jayne may have first hand knowledge of Reavers, giving rise to his apprehension - but somehow I doubt it. It's probably based on rumors, which would likely have an even greater impact on civillians & simple hired guns. Either way, I figure them there folk'd run like spooked cattle. He he...steak on the hoof...fire up the grill, it's time to do some Reavin.

I have to say I very rarely disagree with BC1, but this is one of those times- While I agree that I doubt the burn had any long range effects on the environment other than a nice fireball and a cool lightshow, I have to disagree on the "stopping to consider the impact" point- No offense, but if I'm ever being pursued by flesh-eating cannibals, you can be damned sure the last thing on my mind would be environmental impact- Even as nice as Mal really is inside, he's worried about him and his, not the impact on Patience's little moon- As far as the speaking up goes, can anyone really see any one saying "I'll be glad while they're raping us to death that all the little birdies will be safe" - No way Jose (or no way BC1, )
They're gettin' the hell out, consequences be damned (and driving fast and eating cheese, if anyone out there gets the reference) -

When they were passing the Reaver ship, Jayne's selection of weapons was interesting to me. He grabbed a single shot weapon with what looked to be about a 40mm round. Not very effective against a great deal of raiders but damn sure the biggest thing he had. He didn't grab Vera which is his pride and joy....Me thinks they are hard to put down in a terminator kind of way ... will keep coming until they are just itty bitty pieces. Might even have some level of psychic abilities which would explain the Blue Hands mind meddeling with River and others as perhaps a direct weapon against the Reavers?
