BDM: I think Inara also went unscathed
(You may scathe me if I'm wrong)
but Kaylee was hit by a few fleches or something.
Would need to pause and look. Later she exhibited a swelly hole or two in her neck, left side.
Mal is shot in the back (or says it, anyway) when the Operative catches up to him in the generator room. Later, the Op's sword goes all the way through him (one stabbing = two scars).

She maybe got a bit bruised in the training house as well I think but otherwise yes unscathed.

Gaah. Knew I was missing something but I couldn't figure out what.

Didn't seem to affect him much more than making him lose his ballance a bit though. Not sure if I'd count it as a wound.

The way I saw it, the "shot in the back" was an energy thing, not a projectile. Maybe something like a very very very mild tazer shot???

Yeah. It was weird. He wasn't wearing armor, either.
~~~Warning -- possible heresy to follow~~~~
Joss makes a comment later in that fight scene about not dwelling on the fact that Mal's been run through by the Operative's sword, and I *know* deep in my heart that it's because the audience might start laughing. Here's our Big Damn Hero whirling around with a sword stuck right through him, getting the Op down on the floor, pulling the sword out during an exchange about "Do you know what your sin is?" Mal says he'll go with Wrath and tries to plunge the sword into the Op but misses...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~end possible heresy~~~~~~~

If we are counting bloody split lips, we need to include Inara's injury at the hand of Jubal Early in OiS.

That's the way I always interpreted it. The OVC has this to say regarding that however, "A laser shot nails him in the lower back...." So maybe it is more painfull than Mal is showing.

Well I was kind of avoiding the minor scrapes, hell I can't even remember all of the major injuries, but sure count it.

dave, we could probably include Inara's lip in the same category as bloody noses.

As for the shot to Mal's back, I have the OVC and completely missed that.
Now I'm wondering if it's another thing we are not dwelling upon.
Heh.

goodmorning all,

the bloodlist has been updated. I've left out the band-aid injuries, don't think theres a box of bandaids on Serenity anyway.

I want to add an investment tip here:

Mal lets it slip during the pilot eps while he and Jayne where discussing how cheery Kaylee is.
"Duck Tape" Mal replies to Jayne that ducktape is what they could use to put on Kaylees mouth to keep all that cheeriness inside about picking up new passengers.So there you are fellow browncoats "Duck Tape". Its the tape of the future and perfect for taping the mouths of Alliance moles too.

we can now all be rich

Good grief, people, we've omitted a prime gross-out from the series, even though I don't include it as a necessary high-visibility scar in the "Mal's body" canon.

SEVERED EAR!!!
(War Stories, in case anyone was able to forget)

Also, from WS, I'd think Niska's "pet" should have left a visible mark over the Captain's sternum.

Edit to add: We saw duct tape being pulled off Lawrence Dobson, the Fed, in the pilot episode.

LOL BUNNY,

Doc Simon did such a good job reattaching Mals bodypart there I guess we all forgot about the ear session.

Maybe Mal will name a pet hamster after him
