Anybody else feel bad for that horse Mal shot that Patience was hidin' behind? True, he had a smallish role, and we never really got to know him, but I feel bad just the same. I don't feel really terrible, though, the way I might feel if say, Comet on Brisco County, Jr. got shot, there was a horse we really came to know and love.
But wasn't there any way around it? Did Mal really have to do it?
Poor horsie.

All PETA-like Chrisisall

Quite agree. Ah could go on - the dog in Dead Calm for instance? And Emma you know how worried I was about Fang...

Jeez, Nathan sure was scary in that pilot. I watched it again just after booking my ticket for Serenity 2 and I was actually thinking "do I want to meet the scary man?"!

That horse was a Patience sympathizer.

Mal is not pro-PETA.

I, on the hand, am pro-PETA. Particularly when the PETA is fresh out of the oven and smeared with Tzatziki and slices of Lamb shoulder, and the Lamb is moist and cooked just right. Wonderful.

Hmmm tzatziki..

It is a meditteranean dip with many variations but generally includes yoghurt, cucumber, mint and a hint of garlic (hmmmmm)

i too like meat...i haven't had horse meat yet though but there is a horse butcher near me so maybe in honour of mal's enemy i should give it a go...

There are only four sorts of films in this world and this is them in order of cruelty:

1) Granny and the dog survive
2) Granny dies but the dog survives
3) The dog dies. There is no granny.
4) Granny and the dog die.

I like the fourth sort best.

mmmm..tzatziki...sooo yummy...with fresh, hot pita bread.... So very hungry now.

I know the horse SEEMED to be dead, but I choose to believe that it was only mildly wounded and stunned and chose, for his own safety, to fake unconsciousness and after Mal left he came to and made a full recovery and lived many more years in pastoral bliss, seeing as he was no longer of use to Patience, due to his minor injury. Maybe sired a few heirs, was fed carrots and apples by small children..who knows?

a) I think CallMeSerenity has the right idea

b) Independence Day aka ID4 because apparently Independence Day was too long & complicated for some people to deal with (apparently). Another one of the abbreviations that sounds catchy but doesn't really make sense - coz, OK, Independence Day is on the 4th July but ID4 itself, well...

Apparently there were legal issues with using the name Independence Day for the title of the movie but it got resolved.

The movie itself is another classic example. Granted, the "granny" in the case of ID4 is the gay guy but the same principle applies.

I was also traumatized by the death of Artex. That was the saddest thing. *wipes away tear*.

Also, when I was..oh, pre-teenish, The Neverending Story was my FAVOURITE movie and I had the biggest crush on Atreyu. I'd watch that movie over and over.

And Chrisisall-I laughed at the VeggieSaurus comment. My friends call me the "Veggie-Wo" which is apparently short for "Vegetarian Woman."

Let’s face it folks; plant life may be the only species of life on this planet that is evidently smart enough or innocent enough not to go around intentionally killing other life forms.

I did used to be a vegetarian. But the call of the chicken was too great for me. For me it all ended when I was eating an egg one day, thinking to myself that I am eating the unborn child of a chicken, and it’s debatable as to whether or not it is even healthy. Something about that just didn’t seem right.

It’s amazing all the things I used to be.

I think Joss Whedon must have been hurt by a horse in his past. Remember the scene in Buffy season 5 when our heroes are in the winnebego, being chased by the knights on horseback? Giles is trying to shake them, and Willow says "Don't hurt the horsies!" Buffy responds with "Of course not", then says quietly to Giles: "Aim for the horsies!"

I personally think Mal shooting the horse is one of the greatest moments in the pilot episode, because it is so NOT the thing you expect the hero to do. And don't worry animal lovers, it was a stunt horse who got paid very well to appear in the show.

Now, if Mal shot a CAT, I would have to get up in his face...

In Heart of Gold Mal tells them not to shoot the horses.

"Remember, shoot the man, not the horse. Dead horse is cover, live horse is a great pile of panic."

see, he cares!

I see violence on tv as... television voilence. I'm so jaded I can think "oo, fake punch" or "oh the horse is fine, probably pissed but fine."

Unless I read differently I just choose to believe the horse is fine. Which is why I will refuse to see Flicka after two real-life horses were killed.

It was a specially trained horse that Mal had given to Patience as a trade many years ago waiting for this day. While Mal was checking out the bullet graze on his shoulder, he was actually loading a blank into his gun. The horse recognized this, and when he went to shoot it, fulfilled its duty and promptly fell over on top of Patience. So the horse didn't die and I'm pulling this all out of my arse. Good day to all *tips hat*

Love the bumpersticker!

Sorry - just had to be clear I was agreeing with Chrisisall as you posted at the same time as me & I'd just gone "Yes, I agree"! Of course you're not mean - well, not as mean as that Malcolm Reynolds anyway.

We need a poll - what shocked us more, Mal shooting a) the horse or b) the fed in cold blood!

The real way I see it; Mal had to do something fast, Patience had a bead on him, sorry horsie.
The fed was better off dead, it didn't shock, it made me cheer!!!!(it released a soul twisted by that particular body, and held captive by it)

Mal wouldn't shoot a horse lightly but Patience was taking cover behind it and pointing a gun at Mal. Of course he should have shot patience in the head instead but I think he's got a bit of Niska in him - he wants Patience to live so that people will hear what happened and his reputation will be solid.

Or maybe he was aiming for Patience and missed.

Did somebody say lamb? Gawd that sounds yummy. I wonder if Halim & Mimi's is still open? *checks watch* Nope.


Mal couldn't shoot Patience. He likes Patience. he does. Don't argue with me. But the horse, well, the horse was giving him the eye. He really had no choice. When a horse looks at a man that way, the only thing to do is shoot it. Or the dog. Sometimes you have to shoot the dog. But not granny. Mal likes Granny; he also likes Ellie Mae.

Can anyone explain to me what i said?

Mal was doing that horse a favor and he died with honor - if you were a horse, would you want to be carrying Patience around or hiding her from getting her just desserts? I thought not.

perfessergee raises a green toast to the horse.

PS, it's pretty unlikely that horse was a stallion - they just don't make very good riding horses. He was probably convinced to give up the possibility of heirs early in life (some coercion may have been involved!), so even if he survived, he probably just went on calmly watching the mares..........

I considered vegetarianism for a while, but I love meat too much. Instead, I make it a policy to only eat what I would be willing and able to kill on my own (cows, fish, chicken, turkey, etc). I'd try rattlesnake, octopus, and various insects in a pinch (assuming they've been made safe to eat, of course --don't wanna accidentally bite into a venom sack).

I wouldn't eat dogs, or horses. Chimps and dolphins are right out (I don't eat anything that could remotely be as smart as me), and I hold cats to be sacred.

Y'know, there are documented cases of predatious animals making friends with their nominal prey animals and actually changing their dietary habits (cats adopting mice [and even letting them suckle alongside the kittens], lions refusing to hunt certain antelope, dogs refusing to eat a slaughtered pig that they knew, etc). Don't tell me animals aren't "people."

I could go on for hours about the differences between dog and cat "societies," and how they've adapted to domestication. . .

(FWIW: Simon's father = dog [threatening to abandon him], Mal = cat ["You don't even like me." "You're on my crew."])

Agreed.

Cats = Bast = protector of children = the "child abuse" half of the Special Hell.

Come to that, the cat/Bast symbol also reflects Mal's protection of his crew (especially River & Kaylee).

I have never been killed by a plant, have you?

Speaking of cat meat. I can’t be sure, but I think I ate cat once. It tasted like chicken.

I know I’ve eaten octopus, rattlesnakes and even insects. None of which bothered me, on the other hand, I’ve eaten raw sea urchin gonad, and in hind sight was probably not one of my better decision. Nasty.

Octopus, crocodile, rattlesnake, rabbit, frog, squirrel, cow, pig, chicken, buffalo, lamb, emu, turkey, pheasant, various fish (salt and fresh water), eel, snail, deer, grasshopper, possibly horse and dog (but I can't be sure), veggies, grain, and fruit. Pretty much what most folks eat.

I think I've eaten everything but cat. I'm not opposed to eating cat, but they don't look like they’d be very tasty meat. Now basset might be good.

Alrighty. Then let me tell you about my cat-eating exploits.

There was a Chinese restaurant in Memphis some years back. It was shutdown by the time I left Memphis, don’t know if it is back in business or not. In any event, we would eat there a few times a month. I often had the sweet and sour chicken. On one fateful day in the middle of a terrible blizzard (add for dramatic effect), I had my sweet and sour chicken and it tasted different. It did taste something like chicken, but more greasy, with a hint of almost beefy quality to it. I didn’t care much for it, but I ate it anyway.

The next week (or some short time later I don't actually remember the exact timeline) we found out the place was shut down because cat skins had been found in the dumpster. Yes, evidently the owner, some fresh off the boat Chinese dude, was corralling our fine city’s herd of feral cats and using them in his recipes.

Now some have told me that I’m just projecting my fears of having eaten cat onto some chicken I ate. There are two problems with this, first these people are idiots, and second I don’t really have any fears of having eaten cat. The only thing that bothers me is the possibility that the cat meat might not have been clean, but even this doesn’t bother me that much, because I’ve eaten things I’ve killed in the wild that I’m certain weren’t any cleaner then feral cats.

I do have a cat of my own that I doubt I would eat, if for no other reason then that it is mostly fur, and frankly I get much more enjoyment watching it fall off stuff then the couple of minutes it would take me to eat its scrawny barbequed self.
