A daily dose of sci-fi - Day 24

Who's the no.1 captain?

There are plenty of Captains in military-esque SF like Star Trek or... well, other stuff... but the best one comes from a freer universe.


Some say Mal is essentially Han Solo, but pish, he's better. He's funnier, for one thing. I bet he's braver. He's certainly got more morals. He tries to keep the latter two hidden, but they're definitely there. He always does the right thing... for himself and his crew anyway.

Besides, is Solo actually a Captain? No. No he's not.

If you don't know for yourself why Mal is awesome, you clearly haven't seen Firefly and/or Serenity. And if you haven't seen Firefly and/or Serenity, what kind of sci-fi fan are you?! Not one, I say.

So there.
