After discussing about ‘The Trainjob’ in today’s class, I realized that even the crew is the thief, we can call them a “goo thief”. In the episode, after the crew realized that the cargo is a medicine, Mal decided to return the medicine and the money. I was curious about why Mal tries to return it even they are thieves. What I thought about the thief is stealing stuff from someone else and use them for their good. I never expected about giving back to the owner that they already stole. Even there was an argue between the crew members about giving it back or not, I could see that they are not as bad people as I thought. We can say while thieves are stealing something, they might not be good people. However , in this episode, it tries to tell us that although thieves are the bad guys, they are some thieves who have right to choose what is right and what is wrong.
Also, there was a curious part in this episode which is about Zoe. In the ‘Trainjob’, there was an arguing between Malcolm and the crew members. And Zoe, who is second in command, followed Malcolm’s decision. In this episode, Zoe seems to be following Malcolm whatever he does. We can say that while Mal is the first in command and he can decide what the crew needs to do. However, there should be a time when Mal’s decision is wrong and the crew needs to follow it. Then while Zoe is a second in command, she needs to tell Mal what is a correct thing to do. So, I think Zoe needs to think about what is right rather than what Malcolm decides to help the crew to go a right way.
