Distant cousin or uncle at the very most. They do not interact like brothers would.

And since it wasn't actually mentioned in the episode, I'm not sure his last name can be considered canon at all, so... *shrug* I wouldn't place too much significance on this.

I can see it in front of me... Monty's trying to get up the holiday spirit, singing carols and all, while Mal puts on his best "I lost my faith and now I hate Christmas"-scowl, and Saffron is in the corner pouting because no one got her anything. Just because she tricked and nearly killed them all...

It's just not like it used to be when they were little. *sigh*

Indeed, and who could blame Mal for throwing his sprouts at Monty.

Well, I guess he'd deserve it for making Mal suffer through Christmas dinner.... If it had been U-Day on the other hand..!

Oh different story for U-day. That's license for a pillow fight right there! Still y'know I'd like to think that Mal would show up for Christmas dinner because his mother asked him to. I think he's the kind of chap who would do what his mother asked... and put out the rubbish (trash) after...

Monty and Malcolm Reynolds.... It does have a ring to it.

I think I remember a Joss interview or comment or essay or something about Reynolds being a very common name and thus Mal and Monty not having to be related just because they have the same surname.

I like the image of the two of them getting drunk on U-Day in a bar somewhere and cussing about "that redheaded bitch" before jumping head-first into a crowd of Alliance-supporters... *g* Monty would be useful like Jayne, only.. cuddlier!

Oh, and right on with the Mal and his Ma. Though I don't think there are many people who would have dared to refuse her bidding. She must have been a capable woman indeed, natural leader and all, to run a farm as a single mother and be that good at it. I bet he got his leadership style right from her. :D

"But Ma, I don't know whether seeing Monty at Christmas would be so good..."

"Why are we still talking about what's decided, Malcolm Reynolds?"

"Alright, Ma..."

Ha! Nailed it! You always know you've 'been told' when your name and surname are in the mix.
