No!!! I have to disagree! Kaylee is the heart and soul of Serenity. To have her "evilled up" would seriously hurt her credibility as the indestructibly ray of sunshine that is part of why Mal and the others can still have hope, regardless of what happens to them.

I agree, Astriana! Kaylee is all heart...more importantly I think she's about the only thing in the world Mal smiles about. He loves everyone on the ship, but Kaylee is the embodiment of the love, innocence and optimism he lost.

Also, bring on the darker Mal! One of the best shots is War Stories:

"You wanna meet the real me now?"

Grrr! :)

Not too much darker. I like Mal in Serenity, before Fox requested that he be funnier. There's nothing wrong with funny, I suppose, but I preferred the dark humour he possessed earlier on. (Eg: "Kaylee's dead.")

Do we want a darker Mal? I thought the balance between that dark cold heart being balanced by a surface of false bravado and dry ironic humor was what made Mal so special. Take that away and he's just a heartless criminal.

yeah. i'd like to see a darker mal, but just a little bit. Make him too dark and i'd definitely see it as a problem. I always liked how, even though mal has been through a really tough life he still is able to hold on to some degree of his compassion and sense of right and wrong. I really dont want to see mal as a captain bleigh from mutiny on the bounty.
