Do Reavers cook? I think they're more raw food eaters. Like Sushi!

See - all the clever people watch Firefly.

The rest....well, leave them to their reality TV. They don't know any better....

Well, nobody said reavers were stupid. Just wantonly feral and insane. They do know how to operate complex things like spaceships, after all, and make complex modifications to said ships. So I figued that maybe they carry tanks of pax aboard thier ships from Miranda, and whenever they take people alive the give 'em a concentrated dose of the stuff. If it doesn't work, let the torturing begin. If it does work, another reaver to the fold a la Bushwacked. At least that is my theory.

On the topic of the Reaver population: We all need to keep in mind that a large number of Reavers were killed in the battle with the Alliance above Mr. Universe's planet. I personally think that most or virtually all of the reaver fleet was destroyed in the battle. Mal's trick to get the Alliance and Reavers to fight was brilliant because it served so many different purposes. 1st, it gives Serenity a diversion to slip past the blockade, 2nd it drew most of the Reavers in to a battle which he hoped they would lose, because when Serenity ran, Reavers had to chase them, it's their way, and 3rd it let Mal do a sizeable amount of hurt to the Alliance fleet, something he probably had been wanting to do for years.

That tribal idea seems to be the most plausable. We never see how Reavers interact with each other, weather they're mindless savages all-da-time, or if that's just their scare tactic. We know that they can rig bobby traps from parts they find lying around and know how to keep their ships going and even capable of rentering atmosphere, radiation leaks aside. That alone implies that there's inteligence behind those scared faces.

Maybe they feel like they've been forced into this position by the Aliance, seeing their fellow settlers on Miranda slowly die of the PAX helping to push them to the brink of insanity. If this was to be a model world, ideal and "better," does this genocide mean that the survivors have no place in "civilization?"

No, I am not insane, I am crazy. Thank you for asking.
