#SERENITY QUOTES MAL SERIES#

Saffron: In the maiden’s home, I heard talk of men who weren’t pleased with their brides, who… Wouldn’t be civilized.īook: A government is a body of people usually notably ungoverned.

Jayne: You save his gorram life and he still takes the cargo. (After being captured by an Alliance vessel, attacked by a psyopath rescued from the derelict mentioned above, and then freed for helping to find and kill the man.) Mal: To who? Alliance? Right, ’cause they’re gonna run right out here lickety-split, make sure these taxpayers are okay. Mal: (after hearing about a particular incompetence by a group of Alliance soldiers) That sounds like the Alliance – unite all the planets under one rule, so that everyone can be interfered with or ignored equally. Simon: So, does it happen a lot? Government commandeering your ship, telling you where to go?

(After telling the new passengers that Serenity needs to stop off at another planet to drop off medical supplies based on an Alliance order.)

(Note that the “Alliance” is the interplanetary government ruling over the solar system in which the Firefly series takes place. Shepherd Book – a futuristic monk with a shady past – also makes some great observations about the government. Malcolm Reynolds (Mal) – the captain of Serenity – particularly has some great one-offs. I don’t know if Joss Whedon is of a libertarian mind, but several characters in his Firefly series tend to show some pretty libertarian bents in their conversation.
