Thought it was a joke, myself, on account of I could swear his next comment to Jewel had her crying turning into laughter. That and his next remark is almost certainly an ad-lib.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Mr. Broom, it's not a joke. Discussion of the original scene starts here: Kevin "Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains" Oct 21, 2005 4:04:51 pm PDT The funny in that bit on the gag reel was supposed to be the cartridge falling out of Mal's gun.
ETA: I didn't see Jewel laughing when I watched it last night. I saw Kaylee in horrified tears. I'll double-check again when I get home from work.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
Kalshane, i think you're talking about a different scene than Mr. Broom.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Yep. Those are two different parts of the same scene. The real dark Mal that was being discussed early is later dialogue (right after Mal shoots the Alliance soldier) not the part in the gag reel where he telling them to put the bodies on the ship.

Well, I think the whole bit from Mal exiting the ship to us seeing Reavered-up Serenity as part of the same scene. The point I was trying to make was the part of that scene we see on the gag reel was bad enough. The tone set by the bit on the gag reel (and the discussion here) gave me a pretty good idea of how the scene would have played out, and the likely result is I would have ended up hating Mal.

The whole thing with the place of honor and hood ornament bits is obviously a joke.
The cartridge bit is from a completely different part of the gag reel.

Re-watched the gag reel.
Someone remind me to never watch something after I should be in bed and then rant about it online.
Yeah.
I'm going to go stick my head in the microwave or something now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
A pillow will probably be more comfortable, Kalshane.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah. 'Cept a pillow won't spin your head around in circles. Otherwise, they're better.

Go, pillow. Choose pillow.
(Does anyone have a copy of the extended FF gag reel s/he'd be willing to share? It was on my now dead desktop. I miss it... the gag reel, that is. I do not miss the desktop.)
