2. Val Kilmer IS Moses.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In the 25th century the "Philofly", an updated "Library on Wheels", goes from planet to planet to spread knowledge and hunt down overdue books. Constantly without budget, the crew are forced to conduct illicit deals with the members of small-run publishing cartels.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
they know which action will give them the most benefit personally and pursue it without qualms.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, she's a crack shot. When she has her eyes closed. And there's always the chance she might shoot someone who isn't the enemy, for lack of understanding.

How is keeping River around anything but pity/altruism?
She did save the crew twice. Once with her guns, once against Early.

I think it is just a package deal, and Simon is too useful to lose. And, you know, I think at the end of it Mal, for one, was coming around to liking River.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Her hodgeberries bring all the boys to the yard?
