Here are my thoughts:

Originally posted by Succatash:

1. Mal vs. Book
- A good fight, but I think Book would win, if Book thought he HAD to win.

2. Mal vs. Jayne
- Jayne would only win if he could get the first punch. If Mal had time to find a weapon he would beat Jayne.

3. Mal vs. Zoe
Zoe, she's a warrior woman.

4. Mal vs. William Riker
Mal would find a way to kick his ass.

5. Mal vs. Han Solo
This would be a great fight but in the end they would find out they are long lost brothers or something, and Mal would finally find love among the Wookie folk.

6. Mal vs. Capt. Archer
Mal would give him a big Wedgie after slapping Archer all the way to sickbay.

7. Mal vs. Dirty Harry
Damn good gunfight, here. It depends. Mal is one of the best, but so is the legendary Dirty Harry in a gun fight.

8. Mal vs. Maverick (James Gardner/Mel Gibson)
I'd like to see this. Really, I would.

9. Mal vs. Elvis Presley
Mal would spank the Elvis hound dog!

10. Mal vs. Jack Bauer
Mal spanks him.

1) Mal vs. Brook:
Well, the fight would start off with a bang, and Mal would be winning. But then Brook would whip out his Alliance ID, and guys in gray would come out and arrest Mal.

2) Mal vs. Jayne:
I like Jayne a lot. But Mal has something very important that Jayne does not: brains. That and a cuter butt. But that's beside the point. Mal would still have the airlock, if worse came to worse.

3) Mal vs. Zoe:
They'd never fight. Zoe has too much respect for Mal. Besides, it'd probably just make Wash all jealous, because we all know how erotic punching someone is.

4) Mal vs. #1:
Oh, Mr. Federation's pansy ass is going down.

5) Mal vs. Han Solo:
Well, first of all, they would resolve their differences with a topless mud rasslin' match. Who care who wins? I'll be in my bunk!

6) Mal vs. Captain Archer:
I love Scott Backula (sp?), but Mal'd win the fight. How many horrific battles has Archer survived?

7) Mal vs. Dirty Harry:
I've never seen the movies, but again I think of #6.

8) Mal vs. Maverick:
Maverick'd win at cards, but Mal'd win the subsequent brawl.

9) Mal vs. Elvis:
What's the King gonna do? Sing Mal to death?

10) Mal vs. Jack Bauer:
Jack who?

*****

I'd also like to add:

11) Zoe vs. Buffy:
Buffy's the clear winner here, but afterwards, Jayne'll be in his bunk.

12) Mal vs. Angel:
#5's answer. Only more so.

13) River vs. Trinity:
River. No power in the 'verse can stop her. That includes Trinity.

________________

Mal: We sniff the air, we don't kiss the dirt.
Zoe: Wasn't plannin' on the dirt-kissin', Sir.
Wash: I wouldn't stand for it anyway, Captain, jealous man like me.

1. Mal vs. Book = Have to be Book. Was anyone else scared at the look on Book's face when River read his thoughts "I don't give half a hump if your're innocent or not."

2. Mal vs. Jayne = Mal. Jayne may be bigger, but he's dumber.

3. Mal vs. Zoe = Zoe. She's second in command 'cause of loyalty, not ability.

4. Mal vs. William Riker = no contest, I'm not even gonna dignify that one with an answer.

5. Mal vs. Han Solo = Han Solo. Mal's but is cuter, but you can't beat the original.

6. Mal vs. Capt. Archer = see No. 4

7. Mal vs. Dirty Harry = Mal. He has a cooler head, and if he doesn't get intimidated by the mean squinty looks and the clenched teeth, he'll have no problem.

8. Mal vs. Maverick (James Gardner/Mel Gibson)
I think either Maverick would end up becoming friends with Mal, and they'd end up fighting on the same side. Then Maverick would end up cheating at cards, or picking Wash's pocket, and Mal'd have to blow him away.

9. Mal vs. Elvis Presley = Elvis would swivel those hips, give 'em that sneer and watch the girls swoon. Mal would give him a blank stare, utter his famous "Huh" and knock him out in one punch.

10. Mal vs. Jack Bauer = tough one. Jack bauer is one unhinged sumbitch. I'd like to see this one.

Oh yeah, Zoe would cremate Barbie, er Buffy any day.

Don't squat with your spurs on.

3)Zoe and Mal wouldn't fight. If they did, Mal would win.

5)Han Solo would lose.(Indiana Jones might scrap out a victory.)
6)Mal probably beats Archer, but Archer might pull off an upset.
7)Dirty Harry would win both the gun fight and the fist fight.
8)I'd expect Mal to beat Maverick, but Maverick is too smart to get mixed up with a guy like Mal. He'd probably talk his way out of it.

Yes, but he surprised Jayne with a wrench to the face, if I recall. How about in a square fight?

That seems to be the popular opinion.

Yes, he may have gotten lucky thus far, but he is just a man, and he's never met Mal.

Han did pretty good against Greedo. I must admit that Indiana J. was a bit more scrappy. Han was a pilot, not really a fighter, though he was good with a blaster. Hmmm.

Can you please explain how an upset could be possible?

A bar fight includes both a gun fight AND a fist fight. Anything goes. Are you sure? Okay, I think you may be right. MAYBE

I think I agree. I can see Maverick and Mal being good friends and business partners, not enemies.

Quote:
9 & 10) Mal beats both Presley and Bauer.
Sort of wondering why you grouped Presley and Bauer together. Elvis is a joke (though he could fight well in his movies), but Bauer is supposed to be a very very tough bastard. Have you ever seen 24? If you have, try not to think about the very SCARY mountain lion they showed this week.

Quote:
What about Kirk?
I probably would give that to Kirk. In his prime? Or in the movies, though? Definitely not when he got old and fat, and wore a rug on his head.

It doesn't matter, because Kirk might win, but then he'd let Mal up and then Mal would shoot him, or kick him into an engine or something.

1. Mal vs. Book
Book, cuz he ain't no shepherd.
2. Mal vs. Jayne
Mal, much smarter in a fight.
3. Mal vs. Zoe
Draw, Zoe would no doubt yield to her Capt.
4. Mal vs. William Riker
Mal, face it rikers a wuss.
5. Mal vs. Han Solo
Draw, they'd figure how much alike they are and become fast friends.
6. Mal vs. Capt. Archer
Mal, archers a bigger wuss then riker.
7. Mal vs. Dirty Harry
Mal, while dirty Harry was busy going on about if he had any bullets left or not and mustard on hot dogs. Mal would shoot him.
8. Mal vs. Maverick
Maverick, he's sneaky and a real quick draw.
9. Mal vs. Elvis Presley
Mal, unlike Elvis he actually saw combat.
10. Mal vs. Jack Bauer
Draw, after discussing they're respective miseries they'd team up and take down some terrorists and the alliance. Shoving some guys into engines and chopping of some dead guys heads in the process.

Okay. Been contemplating this for 24 hours now.

1. Mal vs. Book
- Mal. Book couldn't go all whatever on him, cos it's a SECRET.

2. Mal vs. Jayne
- Mal, no contest

3. Mal vs. Zoe
- Draw, but only after Zoe really decked him and said something like, "Sir, you have a problem with your brain being missing."

4. Mal. vs. #1
- Would depend on the fight. Gun fight goes to Mal. Crazy kung fu pugilist fight goes to #1. Bar fight? #1 if he had Worf AND Data for backup, but Mal if #1 had no backup and Zoe was around.

5. Mal vs. Han Solo
- This has been the subject of much contention. Look at my husband and said, "Han never shot anybody between the eyes without breaking stride." He said, "Mal never shot anybody under the table." I said, "You're right." If there were ships involved, Han. If not, maybe Mal, but a pyrhic victory? Squeaker.

6. Mal vs. Archer
- Mal, Mal, Mal, Mal, Mal, Mal, Mal. How could you even question?

7. Mal vs. Dirty Harry
-Mal. He wouldn't wait around for the dramatic moment to present itself. Bang bang you're dead.

8. Mal vs. Maverick
- Maverick.

9. Mal vs. Elvis
- Mal. I think the question here might be "Wash vs. Elvis." Now *that* would be a fight.

10. Mal vs. Jack Bauer
- Bauer, but he'd see the potential there and, as has been said before, they'd team up.

Don't squat with your spurs on.

1) Exactly, "He ain't no shepard."
2) I thought it was 'bar' fight. Square fights have rules. In a square fight a good big man always beats a good small man. Jayne is a lot bigger.
3) Mal is just a man and he hasn't met Riker. Nobody likes Riker though. They never developed the character's personality enough. I like that he was able to fit in on a Klingon ship though.
4) The Zoe issue is settled.
5) If bar fights include blasters, Han has a better chance. No guns, Mal wins.
6) Archer seems pretty tough and resourceful. He's gone up against that genetically enhanced Souliban leader and done OK. The character shouldn't be underestimated.
7) Harry Callahan (no points for spelling) is a tough hombre. Mal has a chance but, gotta go rewatch some Dirty Harry movies. He has a tendeny to pull things out even after taking a beating.
What about Mal vs. Josey Wales?
8) Some one pointed out that if it came to a quick draw Maverick would win. They're right about that, but what I said earlier still stands.
9 & 10) Just to save time. Probably unfairly, haven't seen 24 (it's on a workout day. What about Was vs. Elvis?
11) Kirk in his prime up to his 40's.

I must confess that "who's tougher", "who'd win a bar fight" and "who'd win a square fight" are three different questions.

Sigh, I guess I've complicated things.

2) By square fight I just met "not a surprise attack." I was referring to the way Mal surprised Jayne with a wrench.

3)It's true, I want Mal to win over Riker 'cuz I like Mal so much better. Didn't Riker and Warf fight over Deanna Troi? I can't remember. But you are sure that Riker has NEVER lost a fight? Damn, it just seems unfair to Mal.

5) Do you think Han is faster on the draw and a better shot?

6) I really wish they had chosen another actor to play Archer, then I'd be more inclined to agree with you.

7)Josie Wales has my vote

8)No contest

9)You might like 24. I know season 1 is out on DVD. It's no Firefly, but the realtime story is a cool concept.

10. Kirk has a mean roundhouse.

THANKS for your comments, I am enjoying this thread.

Mal vs. Riker--

IMO, this all depends on the situation and the backup. Fighting over Troi, Riker would win. Cos, Mal, I just don't see him getting worked up over her. Fighting over Inara, Mal would win. Cos Inara would bat her eyes coquettishly and Riker would get distracted, cos he's kind of a gland like that, and wham- Mal wins. Very much like Mal beat Atherton. Now, in a straight bar fight, you have to consider the backup. And this is fisticuffs--weapons aren't interchangable. None of The Intrepid Crew of Serenity could beat Data. But Mal, Jayne, and Zoe could beat Riker and Worf.

Ooh! Here's a new one:

Zoe vs. K'ehlar (at least, I think that's how it's spelled)
- I think that straight fight no weapons, Zoe would win. K'ehlar would fight honorable, but Zoe flings dirt in peoples' eyes.

Wash vs. Elvis
- Pre War Stories, I might go with Elvis. But after War Stories, I think Wash.

Hey Sarahetc?
I'm having a drink in your honor. You are a great writer and also Tag Liner. Unless you go Kirk on us, Serenity will keep flying.

I feel I must add to Sensou that Mal would not win every bar fight. His strongest ability is not physical fighting. Jayne got on his case in "Serenity" because Mal kept backing down.

In "Shingdig" he tells Inara, "I never run from a fight" and she answers something like, "Yes you do all the time..."

I know Mal is very very tough. He is like Maverick in many ways. But he knows his limits.

Don't squat with your spurs on.

Succatash your right. Mal can't win every bar fight, and he knows that, eventhough he'll start one no matter what the odds on Alliance Day (or whatever they call it). Otherwise Mal is shown to be very realistic about fighting, especially in the life and death situations. In War Stories Zoe tells Wash and Jayne to hold their fire... "This is something Cap'n is gonna want to finish for himself."
Mal says,"No! No it isn't." And they thoroughly perforate his opponent.

How would Jubal Early fare against some of this competition. I felt that if the series continued that he might've popped-up again.
I never thought of Maverick as so tough, maybe because those movies were so light-hearted.

Yeah, why did River never wake Jayne? Cos he's like a bull in a china shop and her plan required finesse? I mean, everything was super great until Simon flipped out. Jayne would've come out, guns blazing, just like Zoe.

I also got the impression that several of her "anouncements" were made ship-wide and he just didn't wake up.

Did y'all notice anything about the use of the color red in that ep? I'm still trying to formulate a theory, but red and variances thereof, I think, might have meaning. Early, Kaylee, River and Wash all wear red (pink for Kaylee and River) at some point.

Mal vs. Book
Preacher can pack a punch, but Mal has more experience. If Book were to take a swing at Mal, he'd be ready for it. If Mal were to take a swing at Book, he'd be too startled to block.

Mal vs. Jayne
Jayne's like a little whiney kid, but he's got some heavy duty weaponry. He doesn't need brains to be a good fighter, but it comes in handy. Mal's been in the war and knows war tactics but he'd go back to save someone even if it meant dying.

Mal vs. Zoe
I'd like to believe Zoe can beat the crap out of Mal if she had good reason, but she follows his orders for the most part. "yes sir no sir"

I don't know who William Riker really is. Is that star trek or something?

Mal vs. Han Solo
As far as I'm concerned, Mal IS Han Solo. I've thought that from the start. They are so much alike. Mal's a little more serious.

Well what kind of a question is that?

1. Mal vs. Book - I'm not sure...I suspect we've only seen just the tip of Book's iceberg-like prowess at the fine art of ass-whupage. I'll go with the unknown and say Book, if only because the scope of his skills might catch Mal by surprise (although Mal already suspects much...).

2. Mal vs. Jayne - No question, it'd be Mal. Because after all, there's no way Mal would fight that battle anything like fair, and deep down, Jayne's a sucker for a good fight. Two very different priorities....

3. Mal vs. Zoe - Zoe. End of story (literally...).

4. Mal vs. William Riker - Mal, because even though Riker takes on Klingons for breakfast, Mal would never set his 'phasor' on stun....

5. Mal vs. Han Solo - They wouldn't fight, because neither of them goes looking for trouble. If they did, however, I'd put my money on...one of them.

6. Mal vs. Capt. Archer - Mal, because Archer doesn't even have a phasor to set on stun....

7. Mal vs. Dirty Harry - Dirty Harry, 'cause a man's got to know his limitations....

8. Mal vs. Maverick (James Gardner/Mel Gibson) - Tough call, but Mal could probably drink Maverick under the table....

9. Mal vs. Elvis Presley - Regius exanimus est.

10. Mal vs. Jack Bauer - Maybe, maybe if Keifer were a vampire (a la Lost Boys). Maybe. As an FBI spook, he's toast.

11. Mal vs. Kirk - "We come. In. Peace. We mean you. No. Harm." At this point, Mal sucker-punches Kirk, who responds with one of his two-handed swings to the jaw. Mal looks back in time to see Kirk launch a tackle, and they go flying into a wall. Mal delivers a double shot to Kirk's ears, and Kirk staggers back with a close up on his overly-agonized face. Mal follows up with a kick to the groin, but Kirk busts out a nimble dodge and the canned fight music goes into overdrive (dah dah dah dah dah dah-dah-dah-dah, dah-dah-dah-dah-dah...). They circle each other for a tense moment, and Kirk charges in with a right hook. At this point, Mal shoots him.

Jayne always avoids confrontation with Mal, he demonstrates that he is afraid of Mal. So I think Mal would win because he intimidates Jayne. I don't dispute that Jayne is a better fighter, but I still think he would lose.

Vasquez. All she'd have to do is flash him, and while he's trying to pick his tongue up off the deck she could go all medieval on his butt.

Serenity didn't know who Will Riker is. I think that that is just crazy. How do you follow scifi and not know Will Riker? So I said it was the guy on the Simpsons who ran the QuickieMart. As in not Apu Nahassapedepetilon (or whatever) but #1. Nobody said anything for a long time. Then Aphrodite said she thought it was just so funny. I said thanks cos I didn't think anybody had got it and that I was losing my touch and would soon be kicked out of the club.
