Ulysses Dare Posted January 1 Posted January 1 I think Malcolm Reynolds is more rogue than vigilante, but I appreciate the sentiment nonetheless. 1

I was actually thinking about that this morning. I wondered if I'd misclassified him. Serenity (the episode) - he shelters two (seemingly) helpless fugitives from the Alliance, does his utmost to spare the lawman's life The Train Job - he gives the medicine back to the townsfolk instead of delivering it to Niska Bushwacked - takes in the survivor of the Reaver attack Shindig - stands up for Inara's honor, doesn't kill Wing Safe - secures medical assistance for Book (despite his loathing for religion), rescues the Tams Our Mrs. Reynolds - helps the townsfolk for next to nothing, shows compassion to Yosaffbrig when he believes she was wronged, resists her advances (well, until she was naked... and... articulate), tells Jayne not to shoot anything but the electrodes, doesn't kill Yosaffbrig Out of Gas - willing to sacrifice his life to save the lives of his crew Ariel - goes back for his crew, almost spaces Jayne for selling out the Tams (who he's risking everything to keep hidden from the Alliance) War Stories - sells the medicine (stolen in Ariel) to people who need it, at a cut price Trash - doesn't kill Yosaffbrig again, stops her from killing others, doesn't kill Yosaffbrig again Heart of Gold - defends the brothel without expectation of compensation Serenity (the film) - takes the Tams back under his protection despite his altercation with Simon and concerns about River, rescues Inara from the assassin, goes to Miranda to help River, spares the assassin, waves the entire verse the truth about the Alliance's activities on Miranda (would've been worth an absolute fortune as blackmail material) Mal's a vigilante. He aims to misbehave, but he does kindnesses for folk, and he willingly foregoes profit if it hurts them. Jayne's a rogue, which is one of the things that made their interactions so interesting (and promised significant character development in the future that wasn't (as evidenced by his troubled heart after the events of Jaynestown)). 2 Get busy living... or get busy dying.

Peace to all. Happy New Year to all the vigilantes out there! Starting fresh always feels empowering, whether it’s tackling new in-game challenges or real-life goals. If you’re resolving to lighten your workload this year, services like https://canadianwritings.com/ can be a lifesaver for handling assignments, giving you more time to focus on heroics, or just relaxing. Here’s to another year of victories, both in the game and in life! Happy New Year! Edited Monday at 05:24 AM by LindaHoward 1

I agree, though consider, it's likely a matter of perspective. To the TV viewer, and a lot of folks in the 'Verse, Mal's a vigilante: prefers the peaceful route (shoot, even his ship name does double-duty as a memorial and a desire), willing, if pressed to it, to do the dirty work. To the Alliance, he's a rogue: annoying thorn in their side, but usually not worth the trouble, and after events in the movie Serenity, might even be perceived as a villain to them. 1
