I know this doesn't belong here, but didn't Crow die?

Anyway...Jayne I don't think has been forgiven, Mal's still watching him closely, but Jayne is more useful alive and as long as Mal keeps up on what he's up to at least Jayne is predictable. Another strong arm might not be, so Mal deals with Jayne.

Crow died, but I think that the point was that Mal was WILLING to make a deal with Crow. Crow did the big stupid, and ended up lubricating engine parts.

ah, but how does this show mercy to a defeated enemy...
I know, I'm dense here. All the others in the catagory lived...

Well, this isn't really my thread, but I think I understand what the original poster was getting at.

Mal was willing to deal with Crow, to show mercy to a defeated opponent. Honorable thing to do.

Just like Mal did with Jayne.

But Crow steadfastly refused to be reasonable, moreover he assured Mal that there would be NO WAY that Crow could be anything but a deadly foe out for Mal's blood. Mal needs none of that. If there is no hope for reconciliation, no dealing, kill him.

Jayne showed remorse, sort of apologized, and Mal let him live.

"Crow steadfastly refused to be reasonable, moreover he assured Mal that there would be NO WAY that Crow could be anything but a deadly foe out for Mal's blood."

This is exactly why I think Crow belonged in the first group, LOL.....

Oh.

Well, I would say that until that point, Mal was ready to let him slide off in the survivors group. Hey, I'm getting more than a bit confused, and this isn't even my thread. In one or two more posts, you'll have me convinced of just about anything...

Are you a Pini fan?

we're off topic, but did you like the tribute stuff that was done a few years back? The people who draw Speed Racer did one, and boy was it odd looking...
