[QUOTE="Warrior Poet, post: 2496058, member: 1057"] This is precisely one of the many reasons I am so interested in the characters on this show. They're people. They aren't always good, they don't always do the "right" thing, they make mistakes, they hurt the ones they love, they act in their own self-interest, they try to take the easy way out, they exhibit distrust, jealousy, rage, incompetence, xenophobia, naiveté, duplicity, petulance, and a host of other things. They also try to do right when they can, and sometimes, when they can't. They're funny, tragic, complex, multi-faceted, interesting people. They're like a lot of folks I know. Of course, I'm speaking of other incidents and other episodes. I think Mal's choice there was absolutely the right thing to do. ;) Philosophical differences aside, I think the characters are written wonderfully, and, for me at least, it's nice not to see another paladin on a horse, but characters that have more depth than just white hat/black hat. The Alliance is a good example. As much as they're set up to be the bad guys, they've probably made life much better/more livable for many, many people. Maybe not the people we're interested in for purposes of this story, but there's probably tons of people that swear allegiance to the Alliance who work to make other people's lives better, regardless of what the Alliance may be "up to" at higher levels of power. Anyway, I'm glad you're liking the show a bit more, and I hope it continues to unfold as a really great story for you. Warrior Poet [/QUOTE]
