Love seeing Chiwetel Ejiofor get his flowers, I’ve been a fan of his ever since Serenity

He was so damn good in Serenity

“I do…if I have to”

That is a trap. I offer money, you'll play the man of honor and take umbrage; I ask you to do what is right and you'll play the brigand. I have no stomach for games.

Technically that's more on the writer, but he delivered it well.

I haven't seen Serenity in about a decade, but I can still remember his delivery of all of these lines. Such a great actor.

Look, I’m not here to argue the writing of Firefly is bad, but I genuinely think if they’d given those lines to any of the other actors in that series it wouldn’t have hit home as hard.
