one more thing



I felt Zoe's concern about the townsman they kicked off the mule was a little out of character, or at least it wasn't what I expected from her, but when I think about it I realize of the people on the mule she's more likely than Jayne or River to both question it in her own mind and to call Mal on it. So I don't feel it's out of character anymore.

Well, let's say it's logical to make the attempt to look at series & movie as a whole, even if it leads one directly into contradictions. :) Like Mal deciding that oh, yeah, River and Simon aren't crew, despite his explicit statements to the contrary.

an alternate interpretation of the 'facts' of the series
That's a really good explanation of it. And I love the 'mouth theory' of culture.

The reavers explanation was really good, and I thought ESPECIALLY good in view of the kind of lame 'conventional wisdom' explanation of them that we got in "Bushwhacked." So they saw the nothing and... became nothing? Huh?
