All this kinda scares me as to how dark Mal is gonna be in the movie. Mal is scary anyway (Nathan Fillion, for a nice guy, can get a ferocious glare on him); something really bad must have happened in the interim to make him lose the happy he was starting to get by the end of the run. I just hope Joss doesn't end the movie with everyone miserable.
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...
To which Joss replied, "she don't know me very well, do she?"
As long as no one hooks up they'll all be happy and surviving.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)
I did not like Mal at all until I saw the series in order (i.e. on the DVDs). I wouldn't have said "too dark" but more like "too mean". Everyone else was within a normal range of being friendly with each other but he just stuck out as being a total prick. BUT I think having missed "Our Mrs. Reynolds" during the original run probably had a lot to do with it too. When I got my DVDs and watched them in order, I started to understand him more from the pilot* - but OMR is when I fell in love with him.
ETA * - the whole "you're a softy" exchange with Kaylee in the pilot also helped a lot towards making Mal a likable character

Whew! So as long as Kaylee keeps chasing Simon, she's safe.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Simon/Kaylee is doomed.
RepublicanMouthpiece/Kaylee is doomed.
Wash/Kaylee ... Wash is doomed.
Mal/Kaylee ... OK, I'd buy a ticket.
Book/Kaylee ... Ew! (Which means this is the hardiest hookup, for those having the writing chops.)
River or Zoe/Kaylee .. sure, I'd buy a ticket, but I'd feel bad about it. A little.
Badger/Kaylee? Here's my bank account, take what you will.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Badger/Kaylee? Here's my bank account, take what you will.
That would only work for me if their relationship was a little... kinky.

Been listening to Joe Cocker recently?

Joe Cocker and recently.
Un-mixy things.
I should, though. Cocker had that raw thing going on.
