I agree with Embers.

I'm Mal-licious and I approve of this post.

and he was intreged by Fireflies....

and then he saw Zoe!

LOL! I think that's exactly what happened! I agree with the wanting to be cooler part. After, we see a peek of that in War Stories.

I don't really feel like making an entire opinion out of this comment, but remember that Mal mentioned several other people (Many of whom seemed to be well-known, having roguish epithets, so could probably pay better than Mal. You don't get well known by being poor.) who were very interested in getting Wash on thier payroll.
Why did Wash choose Mal's ship over all these prospective employers?

Imho, in hopes of banging Zoe, that is why Wash joined up.

Greetings All,

I agree that Walsh was checking out the ship
and Zoe. His last job was pretty boring if he was
juggling geese. Serenity offered him the best of
all worlds, not too much structure, oppertunity,
a hot, single crewmate of the opposite sex and a
large number of possiblities. Walsh loves to fly
and on Serenity he would be more than on a regular
shipping line. Maybe he heard that Morena would
be there. Would make me eager. Didn't someone
say that as close to the war as Walsh ever got was
a training sqdrn?

He was definetly looking at Zoe. But the way he was going over the console was like a hotrodder looking under the hood of a '57 Chevy or a '64 V8 Mustang with dual carbs. My notion is he really wanted to get his hands on both Serenity and Zoe.

I think the "cool" factor is driven by the following for Wash, which all probably have something to do with his joining up:

1) He boasted how a few mods would make Serenity real maneuvarable (meaning he knew that alot of people weren't using 03-K64's and he could "hot rod" this one and strut his stuff)

2) He was hot for Zoe. DUH!

3) Mal had a rep as a war hero for those who were against the Alliance. Wash probably felt that Mal's work ethic and drive would make for a good employer, plus it made Mal appear less seedy than the other rogue-types who couldn't recruit him.

4) Anyone who lets you wear Hawaiian shirts as your "pilot uniform" can't be all that bad. Hell, I'd do about anything if they let me wear hawaiian shirts, sandals and a kilt to work! LOL!

As for Wash being ripped in OoG, figure he is with a Warrior Woman, he had to bulk up just to endure the sex! (Which Zoe probably had a lot of pent up frustrations taken out on Wash! Ref: War Stories, Wash: "It's the guys she never slept with thing") Ow! I hurt just thinking about that.

Where are my Kaylee pics?...ahhhh...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Wash was actually running from the nefarious shadow puppet syndicate! That's right folks, Wash was a member! He got into this yakuza type mafia when he ran afowl of an extraordinarily bad tempered baby gosling juggler, and had to join the SPS to save his own skin. The fry cook job he was fired from was one of their fronts to launder dirty money. Well, things happened and the money laundering building burned down,loosing billions, and he had to make a fast getaway. He heard about this Captain who likes to fly below the radar, and signed on for the long haul to get away. But Bendis was actually a SPS operative, so Wash sabatoged Serenity so that they would land, and happened to find Kaylee, who was looking for a guy, and steered Bendis towards her, knowing that the Captian would figure out he was stupid, kick him off the ship, and hire Kaylee thereby saving Wash's life. And finally, he won Zoe over through mind contol he learned from the shadow puppet syndicate! It all makes perfect sense!

Have you ever been with a warrior woman?

Bester. Bendis was "shell-shock guy" at Serenity Valley.
