Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Yes!
Zoe follows Mal. Mal follows ... I'm not sure what Mal follows. His upbringing, maybe? Anyway, he is against the mainstream, which is why we lurves him.
The thing about Kaylee is that she is just honest and true. Killing her would be like torturing a puppy. Which would, at the very least, limit your market.
Wait. This was about Wash. He loved his girl. All that political crap was way off on the other side of the map. Girl? Good. Politics? Who gives a rusty fuck?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Book followed something, for sure.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Possibly the guy who wrote the movie. *shrug*

I never know what to do about a *shrug*.
Personally, I use a *shrug* when I am out of ideas.

Sometimes people run out of ideas because they're done making their point.
It's a shame to go on past there.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Except for Jayne, this is a do-the-right-thing kind of crew. It wasn't about politics, it was about compassion and truth. And I would argue that Kaylee and Wash are the most compassionate of the bunch. Even moreso than Book.
The people who cared about the politics weren't in the movie. They just hired the Operative.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So are there Operative Veterans for Truth?
