Yeah, I hear you. I knew I was doing it, I knew I was feeding a little of Jayne into him (since Jayne is such a great source of rocking the boat, and I effectually put him out of the picture). I was waiting for someone to pick that up

But I really went out of my way to *try* and not assassinate Wash. The idea of where I was coming from with him is he's not so happy go lucky since War Stories. That coupled with the fact that he was the one that Simon was threatening Mal to, that he was helpless when he heard Mal almost get shot by harmless lil Simon . . . Wash is pretty pissed.

I'll blame it on the fact that I'm not really a writer (lame, I know), don't have a good grasp of Wash, and plot contrivance. I honestly don't know Wash enough to be able to say how he would react given this situation, but Simon did try to kill Mal, and Wash was the only other person there.

So I don't know if that's a poor excuse, or legitimate reasoning.

Thanx!
