This one continued a plot line that was started in "The Train Job" with a remark by Book that I would've loved to have seen throught, but the darn show got cancelled before it did. And that is: exactly who is Book? Not everyone gets the kind of VIP treatment from the Alliance that he gets in this one. And, once more, we get to see the heroic side of Captain Mal, who leaves no man behind. Another one of my favorite episodes.
