She advised that she didn't realize that the recovered goods was actually food until Patience takes a bite out of it in the end. I'm sure everybody has realized this and this post never gets a response. However, the conceptual ingenuity that revolves around a basic food sustenance as the prime plot motive is rather striking. For some reason, I always just assumed it was food, but there really isn't anything in the conversation or scenes to explain the golden, pretty bars are actually food stuffs. There is so much bad tv out there. I continually am amazed at how good Firefly was.

I'll be in my bunk.
