Yeah, while Jayne may not be the brightest, he's certainly content to let people think he's even less intelligent than he really is, because that gives him an edge when he needs it...

I have to agree with INEVITABLEBETRAYAL on this one...Simon doesn't know Mal at all. Just realized he picked the wrong ship...top 3% didn't know how wrong he was...

I don't think Simon even had a clue, top 3% or not, about Mal and his thoughts concerning the Alliance. I think it's established quite conclusively that Simon is terrible at character study and is an idiot reading another's emotional state. In The Message, Simon blows it once again with Kaylee and Zoe makes it a point to say "is there anyone you're good at talking to??".

If Simon could even get a paragraph out without accidently insulting Kaylee's character or upbringing, he would so have her at his beck and call. Part of Simon's charm is his utter cluelessness at understanding those around him.

I recently had a similar revelation regarding "Trash," so let me know whether it's too obvious to point out, or flat-out wrong (gotta be one or the other ):

It seemed that Mal let himself get dumped by Saffron a bit too easily. He was able to disarm her in the standoff at the beginning, and since when would he let his guard down like that anyway?

Then I remembered all of his protestations to Inara about how she was the linchpin of the plan, and a valued member of the team, and thought... did Mal let himself get held at gunpoint in the hopes of placating her?

I'm amused by that idea, but I kind of doubt it. I think he let his guard down more than he usually would, since he was certain that she wouldn't actually kill him, and he had a backup plan in place...but I don't think he did it entirely on purpose, because that would be kind of reckless.

On the other hand...we don't even know for sure that there were bullets in the gun, do we? If there were bullets, then he definitely didn't mean for her to take his gun, since Saffron having a loaded weapon could potentially have made the ending go rather differently. But if there weren't bullets in his gun...

I think he's just a sucker for crying girls. ;)
