I kind of like how every time they start doing well financially things go south, that's what it makes it very Western as Byte says. Think of the miners, everytime they'd get enough to maybe do something with it something else would come up to bring them back down, a stagecoach robbery, cattle rustlers, or more likely the pretty ladies at Miss Kitty's saloon and the beverages they serve and the card games that happen there. I like how the crew only can count on each other in the long term in order to survive, its easy to relate to that way, that "we don't know how, but we're gonna keep flyin".
I don't enjoy comic books myself, but my friends have told me the content thereof and I'm okay with it, I don't mind it being cannon ... so far, but I will revoke my approval if need be.

Exactly what I was thinking of. You and me have been to Alaska. :)

That is perhaps why I'm not a huge fan of his other works.

He happened to survive. He was lucky.
...and that makes them all manner of stupid.

Only one person ever actually recognizes him after that battle, and so apparently the only reaction people give when they see his ident-card is that they find out he was a former admiral. When they look up his accomplishments, they confirm he was an admiral, but find nothing else.
Hence one of my problems with the story.

It would contradict the events of the movie that comes afterward in the timeline, in which they're all together and dirt poor.
I meant the crew thinking they had the possibilty to get a huge amount of money.

Originally posted by Bytemite:As for why not kill them after he's decided not to bother with the reward, harder to say, maybe he decided he was outgunned when all the crew showed up, maybe he decided it wasn't worth it, maybe he's the only corrupt one and the other soldiers with him would question the killing, maybe he felt like he owed the crew for saving himself and his soldiers but wasn't above stealing their money (or stole it because Wash decided to punch him and call it even). Maybe he'd have to answer too many questions or do too much paperwork. There's lots of possibilities of why, all we know is what happened, and it appears to me that Mal's bribe is ultimately what mollified Sanda.
As for knowledge is power, Sanda probably figures the crew won't go to the authorities because the authorities would just try to arrest them as well. Plus, who are most officials going to believe, people with a criminal record or government special ops?
That is a lot of maybes. True he may not have worried about the crew going to the attorities, but they could have come back after the money. Or got others with them to go after it.

Honestly I'm not even sure what we're arguing about anymore.

About the reasons the comics are not my cup of tea. Perhaps we should just leave it at that.

That sounds all right.
I'm not sure what happened, I like talking about fan theories and making conflicting information make sense. But then I got confused. I'm not sure why, it was almost some kind of weird disconnect, something stopped working.
Good talking to you anyway.

Yay fanfic, it can be whatever people want/need it to be. You can read what you like and ignore the rest. One story written doesn't change anything, you can enjoy it and start reading the next one and everything is rewound back to the end of the show or movie again. Just my speed. Unfortunately due to a precious lack of time on Wed. which is my fanfic reading day, I've had to reduce the number of fanfics I have time to read and review, which means I'm letting the world down. :(

Still flyin
See don't think i would watch it if it was a wgole new class and ship. this cast has such a chemistry that, to me, wouldn't work with a new class.
I don't want to see Nate leave Castle because I am beyond obsessed with that show but I would love to see then all together again. My only concern is a decade later and they are all older looking and have moved on. They wouldn't be able to pick up where either the show or the Serenity left off.
But I don't think a new cast or ship would last any longer than the original show did because it wouldn't be the same. I loved each character individually (Nate the most but who is counting) and I don't think, again to me, it would have the same flare. Just like if it would leave off after the movie that it would be the same without Wash and Book. And it would just look awkward of the picked up where the show left off with all of them being 10 yrs older.
So as much as i would love to see it happen I don't think it would. And Joss said at comic con this year that it probably won't. Him bringing back Buffy no problem since it was a cast change from the movie to the show anyway so it can be done again and will work but for firefly i doubt.
I'm a leaf on the wind, watch how i soar~~~ Wash!
FINE, you wanna fly, f'n fly!!! I'll be in my bunk! ~~~Wash
Can't stop the signal Mal, Everything so somewhere, I go everywhere.~~~Mr Universe
