MMA Props to Josh Whedon!

We saw Serenity over the weekend with to Jumpin Junipers. Tarsius and his lovely wife were there to.

The movie rocked, but I want to give special props to Josh Whedon for making Mel the kind of hero that would avoid the guillotine in the climactic fight scene.

Mel had the villain in a classic over/under with the villain's head trapped in his armpit but instead of going for a lame and unreliable guillotine choke, Mel goes strait into the stocks.

One small matter of continuity. Since the stocks is a cervical neck break, should the villain really have been walking around two scenes later?

The medical science in the movie is far more advanced than ours. Cervical injuries are no problem.

Plus, it was in the script.
