The Mal-like Chrisisall



I've been running without containment lately and couldn't stop myself in time.

I suppose you say the perfect thing every time?

She was supposed to be saying stupid things...It's what girls do when they get flustered, but will still say anything to get a guy's attention...Her other brain was doing all the thinking, saavy?

As for the greasy sweaty look... SHE'S A MECHANIC!!

I liked the movie, too!

Serenity is the best you know that. I only wish that they had not killed Wash. Where is the random guy in the red shirt when you need him?
Everyone who worked on Serenity without big box office film experience went out there and proved that they could run with the big dogs. Even do it better than some of the bigger dogs. That's my opinion of course.

Twas an error against me-Fan to off Wash AND Book.
Essential members of the crew, not so easy to replace.
'Cause sooner or later, the story will be re-Produced.

On my mind lately is: FF1, opener,
Zoe: "Think we can bring her down, sir?"
Mal: "You need to ask?" - kisses cross.

He was a Christian. Browncoats lost the War.
So he rejects God?
Shows short-sited immaturity to me. :(

True that...............

The thing that gets me about the movie is that at some point Mal embraced belief more than survival. And THAT'S what enabled him to survive !

Remember, it's what Book talked about with him before the order was given. I finally got it after so many viewings.

Growth is handled very differently by Lucas and Whedon.

It is the reaction of a flawed man. Perfect he is not. I think back to the BDM opening minutes when they go to rob the bank. He uses River to get paid, but at the first sign of trouble, who grabs River and off to the Mule.

In the Maidenhead bar scene, he pulls his weapon but he doesn't pull the trigger, neither does River. Foreshadowing?

In Serenity's dining/meeting table: Jayne asks Mal "In earnest, why'd you bring her back on?"

He is flawed, like any of us, but shows his true colors, even with Inara when he goes to rescue her.

Great film, many layers.

^^^ THIS!!!

I honestly don't think any movie will ever surpass this one for me.
2005- the pinnacle year of SF movie production.
It's all catch up from here.
Maybe small independent films might come close; Moon was pretty excellent IMO...

"That man doesn't know what he wants!"

But he'll find out, 'cause he keeps making the right choices.
