    • Trivia
      Adam Baldwin admitted to swiping the Jayne statue's head as a souvenir after filming the episode. Later on, additional shots were needed for the episode (scene where the crew first sees the statue) and the crack where the head was broken off and then reattached is visible.
    • Goofs
      When Stitch points the pump shotgun in Mal's face it's already cocked, but it makes another cocking noise raising it up with 1 hand.
    • Quotes

      Book: What are we up to, sweetheart?

      River Tam: Fixing your Bible.

      Book: I, um...

      [alarmed]

      Book: What?

      River Tam: Bible's broken. Contradictions, false logistics - doesn't make sense.

      [she's marked up the bible, crossed out passages and torn out pages]

      Book: No, no. You-you-you can't...

      River Tam: So we'll integrate non-progressional evolution theory with God's creation of Eden. Eleven inherent metaphoric parallels already there. Eleven. Important number. Prime number. One goes into the house of eleven eleven times, but always comes out one. Noah's ark is a problem.

      Book: Really?

      River Tam: We'll have to call it early quantum state phenomenon. Only way to fit 5000 species of mammal on the same boat.

    The Hero
    Mal and his crew go to a planet where miners are explored by Magistrate Higgins and weapons are forbidden to bring cargo to the Serenity and Jayne is afraid to go with them. He explains that four years ago, his partner Stitch Hessian and he robbed the powerful Magistrate. However, while fleeing, there was a problem with their vehicle and he throw Stitch and the money off. But Mal forces Jayne to go with the group and he discovers that he is a hero for the miners and the population that collected the money. Meanwhile Inara schedules and encounter with the Magistrate. She finds that Higgins appointment is indeed for his son that is virgin. When the Magistrate learns that Jayne is in the town, he releases Stitch that is seeking revenge with a shotgun. What will happen to Jayne?

    "Jaynestown" is another engaging episode of "Firefly". The lack of character of Jayne is amazing and his behavior is amoral many times. The sweet Inara saves the Serenity and her friends with her attitude towards Fess. The romance of Kaylee and Simon is funny and entertaining. My vote is eight.
