Line 247:
* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: He's a brilliant doctor though River is supernaturally good at everything.
* [[Princely Young Man]]
* [[The Proud Elite]]: When we first see him he looks so arrogant one would swear that he considers himself a superior species above and beyond mere humanity. In fact he is not as bad as all that but is simply unused to being in a strange country. He does tend to maintain an aristocratic air about him though.
* [[Promotion to Parent]]: And personal physician, and therapist, and bodyguard, and once even [[Gentleman Thief]].
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: Simon is cooler, calmer, and more disciplined compared to his more sensitive and (for obvious reasons) erratic little sister.
Line 256:
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]
* [[The Strategist]]: Comes up with a complicated but solid plan for [[The Infiltration|infiltrating the hospital]] in "Ariel", which even Jayne admits is excellent.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Started as the smart guy and became a Badass by the time of the film.
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: To River. This is one of the most notable things about him as well as his reason for being on ''Serenity'' in the first place.
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: Kaylee. He is shy about this sort of thing and he is busy taking care of his ''Mei-Mei''. {{spoiler|They do at the end of the [[Big Damn Movie]]}}.
Line 338:
* [[Super Soldier]]: Apparently what the Academy wanted from her.
* [[Talkative Loon]]
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: The series had one notable moment where she displays [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]. In [[The Movie]], she's a full-blown [[Lightning Bruiser]].
{{quote|'''Wash:''' Tell me again how Jayne got knocked out by a 98-pound girl, 'cause I don't think that's ever getting old!}}
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: To her big brother in particular, but also to the whole crew.
Line 483:
A crime lord introduced in the second pilot, "The Train Job." Very concerned about reputations, especially his own. He is the second recurring villain of the show.
 
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: Niska likes to do this to people who die on him during his torture sessions.
* [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]: This is Niska's ''modus operandi'' in the series. He strongly believes in the principles of Shan Yu.
* [[Electric Torture]]: When Niska gets busy, he likes to start off with this before getting nastier.
Line 494:
* [[Soft-Spoken Sadist]]: He can be very soft-spoken in the tone of a kindly old man. The fact that he does this while he's [[Electric Torture|zapping the living daylights out of you]], [[Cold-Blooded Torture|cutting off your ear]], or [[Complete Monster|even worse things]] makes him ''utterly fucking creepy''.
* [[Torture Technician]]: What Niska is generally known for.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: People who disappoint Niska tend to be tortured to death multiple times.
 
== '''The Blue Gloves (Jeff Ricketts and Dennis Cockrum)''' ==
Line 560:
* [[Torture Technician]]
* [[Utopia Justifies the Means]]
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Why the Operative kills him.
 
== '''The Reavers''' ==
Line 572:
* [[Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon]]:
{{quote|'''Zoe:''' If they take the ship, they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins into their clothing. And if we're very, very lucky, they'll do it [[In That Order]].}}
* [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation]]: Reavers have a penchant for breaking and torturing people into becoming second-generation Reavers simply by exposing them to what they do to others.
* [[The Horde]]
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: They prefer human flesh. Of live people.
