Vidder's Notes: I have taken it upon myself, though it's coming very slowly, to do a single character vid for each of the nine crew members (or passengers, or shuttle renters- haha) of Serenity. This vid marks number 4/9, and who more important than the Cap'n himself?

There is so much darkness and tragedy in Mal's story, but ultimately, for me, it's also one about healing-- even though as we left him at the end of BDM that healing was still a work-in-progress, and probably always will be. This song has a message of an old self dead, irretrievable, and a new self being pieced together, one small step of blind faith at a time. It's a hopeful song. And I think that Mal's story, for all the bitterness, sadness, and rough edges, is hopeful too.

Thanks a million to rangersebulba (to whom the vid is also dedicated) for the excellent beta-work. Also, there's a slight typo in the credits that I thought I fixed and apparently didn't, so... I don't feel like changing it. Whatever. Haha.

Feedback, por favor!!
