Captain. Captain Reynolds.

Even on repeated viewing, they're still awesome, I swear.

In a sci-fi hypothetical, if Malcolm Reynolds were to fight Starbuck, who would win?

Indeed, who would? Starbuck barely survived against Six, and Captain Tightpants took down The Operative. Of course, Six is technically a robot, and Starbuck totally took down Leoben (aka Two). Multiple times.

Of course, all you have to do is make snide comments and tap into Kara's insecurities, and she's a goner. Do the same thing to Mal and he's gonna sic Zoe on you. Or get angry.

Captain Tightpants provides his insight after the cut.

Well, I would think Starbuck would try to do the right thing and fight honorably and I think Malcolm Reynolds would fight dirty and cheat, he’d probably hit her when she wasn’t looking. Cause Malcolm Reynolds isn’t above hitting a woman, he’s not above that, that’s something I like about him. What I truly appreciate and I try to remind Katee of all the time, is that I outrank her. Captain, Captain Reynolds.

...Please. Much like how she dealt with Apollo in Unfinished Business, Starbuck would have no qualms about fighting dirty. And I reckon I'm not alone in saying I like Starbuck when she fights dirty.

And it's on:

I asked Nathan this same question - a sci-fi hypothetical, if Malcolm Reynolds were to fight Starbuck, who would win?
Katee: (She sees Nathan out of the corner of her eye) Who’s Malcolm Reynolds? (She laughs and Nathan gives her a look) You like that? I’m just kidding. Probably me, yeah, yeah maybe?
Nathan: Malcolm Reynolds would sit on you!

And that's Captain Thrace to you, Mal. Admiral Cain was psycho, but the promotion stands.
