War Stories

Seriously everything in this show feels cheap,low budget , B acting, plot seen and seen many times before. As a star trek fan its difficult for me to truly live this serie B show. But despite all that , it is still watchable and a good watch for a sunday afternoon chill. Not to put on TV on an evening or a more serious occasion.

For " War stories" my rating 7.5/10.

With its harsh subject matter, it always surprises me (even just a little) that "War Stories" follows so soon after "Out of Gas". But it's a phenomenal character piece, this time centering on the Mal-Zoe-Wash triangle. And I like that, no matter what goes down here, it's really about them. What's great is that Alan Tudyk gets his time to really shine outside of his usual one-liner confines. Wash totally mans right up when the chips are down and proves his mettle among his more battle-worn peers. The torture scenes in this episode are rough, but also deeply rewarding in the end.

8/10 Also, we already know this, but Zoe's an incontrovertible badass.

Wash is jealous of the bond between Zoe and Mal and demands to go with Mal to trade the cargo of medical supplies with locals. However Niska's men capture and bring them on board. Niska tortures them both while Zoe collects money from the crew to pay a ransom for them. However Niska releases only Wash and takes Mal's ear to give to Zoe. But the Serenity 's crew decides to fight to bring their captain back.

"War Stories" is a full of action episode of "Firefly" of jealousy, friendship and bravery. The attitude of Wash towards the cynical Mal is boring and annoying. Unfortunately they are not able to kill the evil Niska. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "War Stories"
