So, if Mal had to rat someone out to the Feds, which one would he pick? Mal's busy with that so Zoe's in charge of backstory flashbacks.

I love the psychological truths behind this story - the fact that everyone, no matter how noble, has a breaking point. The way that you can never make a complete break with the past because it is part of you.
Another thing that made this special for me was the sympathy you showed towards the enemy. The getting-blind-drunk scene was so well played - the characters not really liking each, but not hating each other either.
Think I detect a bit of Existentialism in here too. "So this was life, she thought idly. They’d survived so many levels of hell to climb up out of literal graves only to find a whole ‘nother kind of hell. One with no meaning, no purpose, no drive." Alienation and contingency beautifully expressed in the Firefly context.
And the whole lightened by the 'inappropriate humour.' " “If we were that drunk… I mean, if I was that drunk… I mean… ummm… just technically speaking…. it seems unlikely…”" to pick just one example.

I loved this to pieces, you really have a most wondrous tale unfolding but what a shock for Mal to find Monty's nephew in cahoots with Harkan. I hope and pray our noble Cappy gets saved in time and all those flashbacks with Zoe are so gorram shiny. Very much liking this and very impressed. Can't wait for the next part, gorrammit! Ali D :~)
