This is one of my favorite episodes. Jayne is named a hero by mudworkers after he drops a load of cash he stole over their township during a mishandled robbery years before. At the end of the episode a mudworker gives his life for Jayne's life. Jayne is left wondering why someone would do that. He was no hero or god. Mal explains that it was not Jayne but the ideal he stood for that people die for. What would I die for? Do we have any heroes? I know I've made sacrifices for my beliefs and know they were the right choices to make, even though one might say the sacrifices weren't worth it. I guess in the end it's the faith that saves us, not the object, person, or organization that we put it in.
