Was anyone else exceedingly disapointed at the very end when we learn that the main bad guy was not killed. Up until this point there had been a realistic aproach to death and when to kill people. This started at the beginng with the death in the engine that set up this episode, and continued when they killed the pirates. Here however the main bad guy who Kidnaps and tortures Malcom for breaking a deal now and  now has a few dozen dead henchmen and an even larger humiliation. Why in the world would you let him live considering the future consequences and that killing people who mess with you has already been established. Considering the number of dead and wounded already certainly worring about legal consequences was not an issue. Yes I know from a meta-arc perspective you need a recurring threat, but alowing this flies in the face of the characters and tone of the show. This is not new from Josh though and I lost some respect for Buffy as well when it went from killing defeated villians to the whole lets figure out how to justify Spike as a main character. By falling into the we can't kill Major Bad Guys nomattter the opportunity the show is losing part of what makes it special and leaves it as just another formulaic TV show. Why not have the Reavers as the main bad guy(s) or the nameless faceless power of the government.</blockquote>
