True character shows when you are in true peril Looking at what Can Be instead of what Is Serenity > The goal, or where they find home Vehicles as a character vs. Place vs. an object/plot device Mal: - Needing his family - Cynic vs needing his crew - Good at reading people vs. just knowing how to motivate his crew - Natural Leadership qualities Jayne: - Not confrontational, good in a pinch, and knew to just listen and help Mal as needed - Stepped up to fill Zoe's shoes - Lackey vs. Stepping up to help - More than a merc for hire Wash: - Just falls apart, but should have been more competent - Theory: Wash is only there because of Zoe? - Electrical engineering skills seen - Wasn't believable in his giving up - Weirdly cocky vs caring husband Simon - Training kicked in and knew what his job was - Starts seeing that he is actually part of the crew and accepted - Strong interactions with Inara - Inara foils the analytical side of Simon well Inara: - Could have stepped in for Wash as a pilot - Showing her care for Mal - Has become more functional in her style - Straight, cutting honesty - Her and Mal mirror, shown with how they talk about Serenity Kaylee: - Her inexperience shows through - Wash does fill in her gaps - The most believable reactions - Adventurous personality - Serenity is like a sister Book: - Growing relationship with River River: - Trying to be consoling, but can't quite - Not freaking out, because no one else was showing her empathic reflection - The writing may muddle the idea of psycic vs hyperaware Zoe: - Nothing really new with her character, acting exactly as you would expect - Likely why they needed to "take her out" for the plot to go through Serenity: - Jealous of Kaylee's growing relationship with Simon - Paralleling Zoe and Serenity (but couldn't really be focused on) This is really just Serenity's Episode ... Everyone had a crush on Kaylee, Unless you were Kaylee. Then you had a crush on Inara
