Date: 2007-04-18 03:53 am (UTC)Zoe offers Mal the kind of unconditional backing that I'd only expect to see in a military (and probably active combat) situation - and they're fly-by-night crims, not soldiers. I fanwank it away by ascribing her a career military background, and coming from a military family (popular media tells me that such things exist in the US?), so that she is used to looking for a clear command structure - but I don't see it as especially healthy for her.
I do see it as downright unhealthy for Mal. While he knows that Zoe has his back so unquestioningly, he's shielded from the consequences of his dodgy decision-making. In a sense, she's buffering him from having to grow up.
And then there's the whole thing where Zoe chooses to lie to Wash, rather than discuss Mal's decisions which do, actually, affect him. Which : no.

I still think you should post. Generate some good discussion.
