Hey Whimsicalnbrainpan:

I'm glad you liked the movie. It certainly surprized me when I saw it the first time.

Just came from a thread that asked who was the scariest villain. I said "My sister". I'm bad.

Yeah, Badger definately goes up here as a villain.

And while I LOVE Early, especially in his role as an anti-River, I'm not sure I'd call him the best villain.

I think Saffron's the best. Not just cuz she's the sexayest. Not just cuz she's shown herself willing and capable of beating Mal, the crew, and anyone else who stands in her way...

but because of all the villains shown in the series, she seemed like the one most capable of actually becoming PART OF THE CREW at a later point in the storyline.

Mal doesnt think she is past redemption, or if he does he believes he can handle her, as shown by his actions in Trash. In my mind, that puts her somewhere between Jayne and the Alliance... and this being Joss's work... well... ya know how he loves to make antiheroes out of villains and all...

I've always liked Badger. His mouth is bigger than his brain. He also kind of lives up to his name, causing trouble and just being overall weasley. I like how he seems like such a small built guy, but talks big and confidently, like nothing scares him and the world is his banquet.

In the category of Villain You Love to Hate: YoSaffBridg, hands down. You know she's trouble, you KNOW she's going to double cross the crew, you KNOW that no matter what Mal thinks, he's not going to be able to handle her and yet you can't help watching and wondering what she's going to do next. Out of all the villains introduced in Firefly's too short season, YouSaffBridg strikes me as the one that could easily generate (or fit into) a number of storylines, especially since her character can slip easily between comedy and drama. In fact *drumroll here*, I wouldn't mind seeing her as the main villain of the next Serenity movie (some day it will happen). The first movie was a lot of sturm and drang and so (by my reckoning anyhow) the next one needs to be lighter and more fun.

In the category of Fun Reoccurring Character: Badger, definitely. He's comic, but he's also potentially dangerous and I can easily see him returning as a thorn in the side of Mal and Co. in any number of storylines.

You know, if I wasn't so sure Badger was afraid of Niska, I could almost see him ratting the crew out to him. Of course, the stakes would have to be pretty high to do that. Badger tried to hand them over once before, and then ended up needing them later in the series. On a completely unrelated note, nice use of the phrase "sturm and drang." I never thought I'd hear it outside of that class I took last year.
