Serenity should be making little "alliances" throughout the show.

Coupla problems:
Badger's purpose was to keep his connexion to Malcolm Reynolds secret.
1) Badger would have to be incompetent for any of those men to have learned that Kaylee was being held.
2) If one man found out, what we see of that society's code of honour leads me to suspect that only one or two men would have come.
3) Once the situation on Serenity became known, Badger would have failed in his purpose, & had no further reason to hold anyone.

1) I've questioned the competence of many of the characters of FF.
2) The number of men responding would have been in relation to the number holding Kaylee (and the others who are incidental). It would have reflected the popularity of Kaylee to the locals (shown at the party).
3) The locals don't have to know about Serinity's purpose on the planet - just that Kaylee was on the ship & having problems. Now if Serenity was caught w/ the "goods" then maybe the relationships of Badger, Serenity, and the guy w/ the sash would have come to the surface and blown the whole deal.

Logical, but I'm not sure Malcolm Reynolds subscribes to that logic. On an effete core world, Mal's thought processes may not qualify as sane, let alone logical.

He does seem to have a kind of Robin Hood philosophy, as inconsistent as it is through out the brief series.

Per a comment below. Since he does do some legal work throughout the system and lands on planets with local authority, and shleps a companion around, it seems that he is not always trying to fly under the radar. Alliances don't have to be broadcast - just are handy when needed.

This is an impressive group of fans. You guys have done a great job in getting the movie through. I hope Joss doesn't let you guys down.
