The operative was telling Mal they might still come after him. What about the operative. He had to know all kinds of garbage about the alliance. I gotta say I wish in that scene Mal without warning pulled his gun and shot him for killing Book.

That's OK, just a difference of opinion. I remember in the movie when we saw he had Book killed. Remember the dead children? This guy killed Mr. Universe for no reason what so ever. He referred to himself to Mal as a monster as Mal was seeing on tape this guy killed everyone he knows. Just so Mal would have no place to hide. Like I said though, just a difference of opinion.

Quote:We just happened to have watched the movie tonight. The Operative ended up helping Mal & his crew and became a better man (like Mal did) so Mal killing him would have made Mal evil in the revenge thing. The Operative posed no threat then, and assisted to boot. The movie was about redemption. Revenge would have turned it into simple reactive crap, like a futuristic Death Wish.

Serenity was awesome in its execution.
Joss rocks.

I can not find fault in what you say. I guess it is like Teal'c from Stargate. I just don't think him realizing he is wrong after all the death and destruction he perpetrated on others, gives him a pass.

So, you don't believe in redemption?

To do what this guy did means he is unstable. I don't believe people like that change, but instead take up a new direction and believe just as hard until disillusioned again. He kills children! This planet is full of people who believe hard like that. They exist on both sides of an issue and are just as committed to doing what ever they think necessary. Anyone like him is so far out there, an in lighting moment is not going to get rid of the crazy in their heads. They operate in a different realm of reality. He kills children.

The POINT of the movie is change & redemption, not sheer punitive action based on past transgressions.
If you believe change is not possible for an individual (or by extension, society as a whole), then you are, in your mind, condemning us to eternal war IMHO.

Ok, I see you see no difference between our military using drones to fight terrorists and them setting off bombs at the Boston Marathon. As for mistakes being made when their army hides amongst civilians, it is a tragedy. That said there is a major difference. They target innocent children and try to attain the most possible collateral damage. Time to put this discussion to bed.

wo men ren ran zai fei xing.
That, the stories being told about Inara's affair with a 'pirate', and how she reacted to the news of Mal hooking up w/ Nandi, bring me back to the 1 simple question...
What does Inara see in Mal ?
Other than he's ruggedly handsome,and it works for the story, why is Inara so smitten w/ him ?
