May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.
Quote:Originally posted by ThePistonEngine: That being said, there isn't enough time for Reavers to die out. My favorite theory about Reaver multiplication is the theory offered by Mal in Bushwhacked.

Quote: I'm talking about Reavers. More than once in the series it is stated that they are "men". They rape, kill, and sew pieces of your skin into their clothing(hopefully in that order), so violating(I hate the word rape) various women for procreation, seems against their ways.

Quote:Originally posted by Shinyfab: Based on what occurred on Miranda, I don't think Pax discriminates between male & female. There have to be Reaver women. I don't think there can be a real distinction between male and female because of the way they desecrate themselves. In the same vein, I have to think there were also young children who would have been affected.

Quote:My idea is that the Alliance was in the process of creating an army to battle the reavers. They didn't want anyone to know about Miranda, though, so they convinced the families of the brightest and best to send them to an "academy" where the programed them to kick reaver ass

Quote:Originally posted by Cedric: On some raids, the Reavers use PAX as a weapon. It makes some of the crew lie down, and it makes the others as crazy and dangerous as the Reavers themselves. In that way, they grow and recruit new members. I also theorize that the PAX has an anti-radiation side effect--how else would the Reavers have survived so long without core containment?

Quote:Originally posted by SerenityForever: Maybe the PAX is volatile, and has a short half-life when exposed to atmospheric temperature or chemistry - if it's not assimilated into tissue, it decomposes within a few days, which would explain why none of the crew of Serenity were affected in Bushwhacked or when they landed on Miranda. Somebody get Joss on the phone. I think we've just come up with a new fan wank.
