I saw that scene and just cringed when he threw the gun away.
Same thing happened when I first watched a new TV series called Firefly. Was loving the whole Cowboys in Space and really good characters and excellent dialog...
The this scene: Firefly the Negotiator came up and the whole let the bad guy go after he threatens to hunt you down and kill you while you have him bound and kneeling at your feet part came on and I just said no no no you have done so well don't do it! Then bamo and I actually jumped off the couch and did a double fist pimp and screamed YES THAT IS HOW YOU DO THAT!!!
I've been a fan of Josh Weedon ever since!
I liked Joss Whedon until he said that he hates capitalism. He’s a stupid hypocrite who has gotten rich providing a good or service someone else likes enough to pay for - then denounces the very system that he used to succeed. Too bad, because some of his work is interesting.
