Definitely. I like a man who's always right.
Moody? Me too.
I follow orders just fine.
Colour me his new Wash.

That being said, if I needed to pick a ship to work on, and a Captain to work for, it would be a relief to know that he'd go to the lengths that Mal goes to, to take care of his crew. I'd just have to grow a thick skin, I suppose.

Yeah. :)

Of course, traveler brought up a good point: probably just as important in that equation is if he and the crew would like us. In my case, let's hope they don't have anything with sugar or caffeine on board. On the other hand, a dash of explosive powder in Jayne's food could theoretically be hilarious. Metal utensils can make sparks!

Also static electricity built up in clothing.

...I'd blow myself up in the first day or so. ._.

If I managed to survive the inital alpha-dog pissing contest, I think we'd get on famously.

Or I could just as easily find myself waking up in the airlock...

Either way, it'd be hilarious.

Day late an'a dollar short...Story of my ruttin' life!

the real question is, could I live without Mal? maybe not.

Maybe not in that crapshoot verse, stuck between greedy criminal bastards and a lawful neutral to evil authoritarian government. Taken in context, Serenity very nearly lives up to her name.

Certainly could.

I'd struggle living with Inara though.

Well, I suspect she wouldn't be around much, anyway. But she and Mal FIGHTING, yeah, that could be hard to live with.

BTW, I haven't had a chance yet to rewatch Heart of Gold considering the perspective you proposed, but I mean to. I'll send you a message when I do.

I think it would be tough at first, but I think in the end I'd fit in with the crew and Mal would keep me around. Got a lot of the same ideals. Don't know we'd ever be drinking buddies, but we wouldn't shoot each other either.

I think I'd end up with about the same dynamic as Simon does, only worse, because I'm not near as strong as Simon, and Simon's strength is what Mal has a grudging respect for. Brains and good intentions, which I share with Simon, Mal doesn't find particularly worthy of respect. So I conjure he wouldn't have much time for me.

It'd all be worth it, though, if I ended up with the same dynamic with Kaylee as Simon does!

totally. i'm woefully unprepared for survival in the 'verse. My one hope is to find a strong leader and polish his boots.
