I wanna do this one more time: Was Mal wrong when he shot that surrendering guy in Serenity?

...all that, with Zoe standing behind Mal, but he just lets Mal kick him into the engine.


Kind of irrelevant. He'd just made a straight up verbal threat about killing them, and he had the physical side to back up that threat whether or not he was armed or tied up.

I don't distinguish between the two in that case.

And if he had attacked Mal in the way I described, and Zoe kicked him in the engine, you wouldn't be making this argument because you'd consider it self-defense.

The difference in our views is that I see Crow tried to kill them, and if even after he is tied up he is still hostile, then hostilities and the fight never ceased. You see it as over, I see it as a spectrum.

Unless they're armed.

I'm gonna have to ask Mark about that directly. Hey Mark, what do YOU think?
Mark: "There is no difference between a rabid animal and a homicidal maniac. Both are best set free of this reality to pursue a new existence elsewhere."
But Mark, don't humans differ in the we have souls, and are therefore worth more consideration simply because only God should have a say when a man dies?
Mark: "Oh please. You're makin' me all allergic & sneezy with that fuzzy wuzzy talk."

Well there ya have it! There IS NO Mark difference.
