Agreed Laga. In their world their main persuit is to keep flying. Finally Mal sees one thing bigger than them scraping by that he can do something about.
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

that's a good point, Morgana. Maybe because he didn't have a cause bigger than his crew before he saw Miranda.
It's just that at the beginning of the movie he's practically hostile towards Simon. And while the two of them have never been best buds, that hostile relationship felt really, really wrong.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
that hostile relationship felt really, really wrong.

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"
Oh no, totally agreed there as well. I guess it was just dramatically needed for the uninitiated people watching the movie.

Oh yeah. Despite the torture bits, which I never enjoy, I do like that episode.

I missed you guys tonight, but should be here next week. I'm kind of surprised that AnotherAlaskan didn't make it tonight. I'll razz him about it tomorrow.

Yeah drag him in for next week if you have to. It's too good of an episode not to have a good crowd for it.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Anybody else think he would have let him die up until Jayne asks him to make something up?
Oh, yeah. I think Mal was fully prepared to let Jayne get sucked out into space.
It was the "make something up", the acknowledgment that Jayne was ashamed of his actions enough that he didn't want the others to know what he had done that convinced Mal that there was hope for Jayne yet and earned Jayne the reprieve. Without that moment of shame...Jayne goes 'plooey out in the Black.

I think Mal was hoping Jayne would say the right thing but he was going to space him if he didn't.
I might be a few minutes late for War Stories but I'll be here.
