Ariel rocks, one of my absolute favorites. It's a great heist story, and I love those. (Liars Guns & Money, Ocean's Eleven, etc.) SIMON of all people gets to be the criminal mastermind. And then there's the whole Jayne story...paying off the setup from the pilot. "What happens when the money's good enough, Jayne?" Plus I just love Mal. That he's smart enough to know when someone's playing him. (Joss shows never fall for dumb plot syndrome, where the characters have to become as stupid as a lazy plot necessitates, and I love that.) The bad-@$$ way he handles the situation, braining Jayne with a wrench and throwing him in the airlock. And the oxymoronic yet perfectly sensible line, "Next time you stab me in the back, you have the guts to do it to my face!"
