Some of us liked her from the start.
Huh. "Some" implies more than one, right?
Huh.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I liked her too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why don't people just watch them in the order they appear on the DVDs?

I can't even.
I never disliked Inara or Morena, sorry. I agree the whole empowered Companion thing was more Tell than Show, but I was willing to let it play out and see what happened. Didn't really get the chance.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I liked her alright, but I liked her clothes more. I want them.

Nope. Watched them all in the SciFi marathon who hopefully played them in the right order.

Which isn't the same order as the DVDs. So there's no 100% rule.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
FYI, my father, who we got Firefly for Xmas (and who is a retired Episcopal priest and social worker), is loving it. Some part, he said, are pure camp, and then it goes directly from that to some of the truest, most mature relationships ever written. (I paraphrase.)
So, a toaster winner is me!

I liked Inara from the start. I think it was the combination of that fragment of her looking away, not synchronized with her speaking voice talking about her home, and how she just moved the decorated curtain to reveal a pilot seat and that she herself was the pilot. Both, of course, from "Serenity", so I definitely think there's something to the "watch in order" theory.
Also, there's a mixup in the order of the episodes of "Farscape"? Because I've recently got a tape of the beginning of the first season, and the relationships between the characters keep seeming to go back and forth for no apparent reason. I would prefer an episodes-order explanation much more than a writers-not-paying-attention one.

The first three seasons, it's generally episodes-airing order, although the worst of it was the first half of the first season, from what I understand.
Fourth season, alas, it's more the writers fault.
