Mal doesn't go to church service.

Doesn't mean he don't like communion with folk every once in awhile, and since he missed bartending last week, he's got a smile on his face for this go-round.

She leaves a trail of red-tinged snow across the floor and has spreading red stains in her clothes from holes in her right shoulder and left leg. She's also demonstrating just how hard it is to clear a jammed pistol with only one hand ( Read more... )
