Or, why I love Captain Tightpants
He's turned being an ass into an art form. He's heroic when he doesn't want to be. He's resolutely impractical. He's stupidly loyal. He's comically inept with the woman he loves and a damned fine hand at everything else. He's Joss Whedon's best (male) creation since Spike went all mushy on us.
Three reasons to love Mal Reynolds
- He's darned heroic
- He has a way with words
- I did mention the tight pants, right?
P.S. If you buy something from this page...

"Well, my days of taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle."
There can be only one winner
For a straight guy, Joss Whedon does a pretty good job of writing sexy male characters. One drawls, wears tight pants, and shoots straight. One snarls, bleaches his hair and drinks blood. Convince us all that your choice is the right one!
Who's sexier, Mal or Spike?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byMal Reynolds, aka Capt. Tightpants

Captain TightPants is hot, but...there's just something about Spike. Yummy.

They both have the reluctant hero thing going on, but I'll always have a soft spot for Spike's snarly, snarky cynicism. Sure, it's just an act--that makes it even better.

We can't die, Bendis. And do you know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Mercy is the mark of a great man. (stabs him a little.) I guess I'm just a good one. (stabs him a little more.) Well, I'm all right.

But when a man engages in clandestine dealings, he has his preference for things going smooth. She makes things not be smooth.

Wash. We've got some local color happening. A grand entrance would not go amiss.

The series is still on my To Watch list (~hides Geek Card so it can't be taken away~), but I really enjoyed Serenity. Great lens!
