Jayne is the fighter, and Mal can shoot people without blinking or breaking stride, River can kill people while facing in the other direction with her eyes closed, and Book is just scary when River does the hearing thoughts thing…

So who do you think is scariest?

My first instinct is Book, but River sure could be scary if she unleashed her mysterious eyes-closed fury.

I'd say it's definitely between Book and River.

What about Zoe? She could take Jayne in most fights (not necessarily hand to hand). Of the rest, I think she could outwit everyone but Mal and River. I think I would have to put my money on her!

Are you talking who would win in a fight or who is scariest?

There is a diffrent thread for who would win in a fight. This is for who's scariest. Although who would win in a fight could play a role in who's scariest.

I believe River to be scariest, mainly because she is so unpredictable and can't control or explain what she does...

I'd have to agree with people on the close call between Book and River, but unless stuff changes later in the story, I'd say Book.

River is right creepifying, but we know she is. It's that whole 'unknown can be scarier than the known' thing with Book that gets my imagination going and chills the backbone.

BOOK: Afraid I might be needing a preacher.
MAL: That's good. You lie there and be ironical.

I'm going with Book, as well. Jayne's too dumb to be that scary, Zoe's...I'm not jumping straight to "upright citizen," but I think she's got a sense of ethics. I just pity River 'cause she's so messed up. Book...he just has this whole innocuous facade, but when he gets violent or angry, he gets really freaky. And he's a preacher! If he didn't have any moral obligations to be a good guy, he could be scary beyond all belief.

I would have to go with Book also. He's so mysterious that it's frightening. Mal and Zoe are only scary when they need to be - as long as you don't piss them off, you should be fine. River would come in at a close second.

I guess I should chime in since I started it.

I have to go with Book too, I was thinking River, but she never did anything to anyone who didn't deserve it, and she is really predictable. She seems unpredictable but she acts just like you would expect an uninhibited psychic super genius to act provided that they were a nice person.

The only tricky part is to figure out what you would expect, but once you do you can pretty much tell what she’s going to do. Although if her brother continues to treat her then that will unbalance the entire thing, and the more she becomes like a normal human being the less predictable she would be.

By the way, when I say "really predictable", I mean really as in "she actually is", not really as in "very".
