I've said this before, but I absolutely love Mal and Zoe together (in the non-romantic way, of course).
Zoe is so completely competent and calm, and her loyalty to Mal is unyielding. What makes that awe-inspiring to me is how impulsive and intuitive, practically goofy (relative to Zoe) Mal is.
Ah Joey Blogs... may he rest in peace
The actor playing the sheriff... who is he?
Zoe and Kaylee both seem to apprehend that Mal is bone-deep good, for all his faults, as evidenced by what he means when he says, "This is a nightmare."
I don't remember his name, but I love that he usually plays bad (or at least baddish) guys but plays a good guy here. He does really well, I think.

Oops -- my post got lost. Thanks for coming up with the answer, BigDuluth.
Zoe makes me giggle every time when she ducks her head and tries to look ashamed.
