Mal wasn't a "crook", he was an anti-hero. He did what he did to fight back against a corrupt government that destroyed his whole planet. The Train Job proved he wasn't just out to steal for stealin's sake.

I doubt he would have had much access or ability to steal before he even had the ship, but that's a question for Joss. Can't nobody HERE answer it...

Never said he wasn't fair and true wish, just that he stole things. He smuggled contraband. Wishie, that's a crook.

What did he smuggle without a ship?

Try and think things through before you play gotcha.

I never got the impression HE had to have a license to fly, just one to OWN the ship, like a title. That's what he needed Wash for, right?

I imagined they only care about who's flying the thing when it gets crashed or they call for help.

And then again, maybe his mom had a ship and he learned to fly it in Shadow, before the war? Maybe he was licensed in the war, like my spouse was licensed to drive the big vehicles in the army? Troop transport stuff.

Just my two cents, anyhow...


Mal could fly the ship, Morena could fly at least a shuttle, couldn't Zoe fly also? But they needed a professional dedicated Pilot. When they were too busy conniving and tracking and confiscating, they needed somebody to tend to the piloting and navigation details, in real time. River could fly too, but that was a different matter.
