Kaylee is the best member of the crew. All other members of the crew are vastly inferior.

Hope I'm not killing the upbeat mood here, but my favorite Jayne Cobb scene (and one of the best scenes in the series IMO) is actually the one that isn't funny at all:

 

 

It's incredibly tough to generate pathos with a character who is essentially a dumb, brutish dude, but Adam Baldwin and the writers pulled it off incredibly well. Somehow, I doubt we'd remember Jayne's funny moments the way we do if it weren't for this darker stuff to make the character three-dimensional.

Blasphemy. It's Malcolm Reynolds. This is indisputable fact.

The winner is clearly Badger, with his very fine hat.

Pretty much. Begs the question of why they didn't take the Citadel much sooner. If they really needed to, they could have had the grand fleet congregate in the Arcturus system and make the short jaunt to Earth via FTL as a single massed formation - the Charon relay only cuts off a few days' travel time.

Read again carefully. The cargo holds of the civilian fleet are their primary value to the war effort. As I said, the needs of individual ships will be much less in terms of food when they no longer have hundreds of civilians in their cargo holds. The liveships stay at Rannoch and keep the bulk of the population fed while the Turians in all likelihood compensate the Quarians with the (much more manageable amount of) food and fuel needed to facilitate the transportation they provide. They probably offloaded the food production gear from the liveships to Rannoch's surface instead of immediately deploying them to the fight.

Rannoch won't save them. The fall of Thessia, Palaven and Earth are proof enough that there is no safe harbor from the Reapers. What it does do is free their fleet from the constraints placed on them by keeping that populace alive in space, allow their ships to do the work they need to be doing. It gives them the flexibility to split up and assist the Reaper war effort while giving their populace a better shot at long-term survival as a species than they'd have anywhere else. They're throwing in on the Crucible like the rest of the species out there.

Freeing up their cargo holds to handle logistics for everyone else makes their fleet weaker? ...Uh, okay?

Which they could do by popping the liveships from a distance were they to hide in space, costing you both the civilians and the fleet in one go, instead of having the fleet scattered across the galaxy handling logistics with the civilians off somewhere else. Lose the civilians in the latter scenario and you'd still have the fleet.

 

Are you guys arguing lore again? Everyone knows lore in the MEU exists only when it is convenient for the plot and is completely disregarded when it is convenient for the plot. If you examine the storylines carefully they all collapse into a scrap heap because lore is ignored.
