The hype is what makes Mal so awesome. It's the buildup, waiting for somehing good to happen, that kept this storyline going so long. Now that he's on Boney Island, he can't break stuff. Sierra's smartphone was probably the only important thing to break, though. He got Cameron on the Villian's team.

And the biggest reason why Mal is just that amazing (to me, at least): He SCARES Duncan. And ZOEY. The two toughest, roughest, god-likiest contestants (besides Al), are SCARED of the emo stick-boy. Tell me that isn't impressive.
