We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We meddle… People don't like to be meddled with. A young, pre–brain tampering River Tam knows: The backstory is quickly provided by a scene at an Alliance school, where a teacher sadly muses that it's hard to understand why the benighted Independents, the secessionists, have resisted the attempt to bring them the gifts of civilization.
He's the opposite of me in many ways."įor those who think a bit more like Mal, there's plenty of red meat in Serenity from the very outset. As Whedon himself puts it, "Mal is, if not a Republican, certainly a libertarian he's certainly a less-government kinda guy. And Second Amendment buffs have a kindred spirit in mercenary muscleman Jayne Cobb (Adam Baldwin).
