Firefly
Quite possibly the definitive “crew,” as all the bases are covered, and everyone has a very good reason for being there. However, that doesn’t mean plain sailing, as unique characters mean unique desires and agendas too. Throw in the complexity of ever shifting politics and morality, and it’s a wonder that Serenity ever gets off the ground, let alone stays together. Luckily Mal is a scrappy but exemplary captain, and just about keeps all the plates spinning until the next inevitable betrayal or drama. It’s testament to his skill that he gets the best out of everyone and can even have a priest and hired gun living under the same roof. Would like to think I’m Mal, but I’m probably Wash.
