"Just because you wrote it, how do you know that's what it meant?" One of my favorite quotes of all time, and I don't even know who said it.
Or what they meant.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The hodgeberry scene never struck me as incestuous either, but that's probably due to Maher never convincing me for a single instant that he or any of the characters he's ever portrayed were heterosexual.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've never seen Sean Maher in anything else, but Simon seems very... either asexual or sexually repressed, not sure which. He doesn't so much ping my gaydar, but my gaydar is famously broken. He's beautiful, but not so much sexy. (To me.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He seems straight but kinda dumb and terrified with Kaylee, not gay, to me.

Oh, I'm definitely getting a hint of queerness off Simon. Whether it's Simon or Sean Maher though, I don't know. I've never seen him in anything other than Firefly.

I may have to seize the cat.
I think I've gotta roll with the repressed angle on that one.

Art Crawl!!!
Going back to what Zenkitty said: having the episode end with that nice familial dinner scene just underscores the whole family thing.
Did anyone watch Sean Maher in The Dive from Clausen's Pier?

Your tag here.

Yeah, that's one of my favorite scenes from the series.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Did anyone watch Sean Maher in The Dive from Clausen's Pier?
Yes. He was very pretty. Other than that, I've got nothing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I thought Simon was repressed but straight.
Maher, on the other hand is gay.
