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.)
Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.
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 think I've gotta roll with the repressed angle on that one.
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?

Yeah, that's one of my favorite scenes from the series.
Did anyone watch Sean Maher in The Dive from Clausen's Pier?
Yes. He was very pretty. Other than that, I've got nothing.
I thought Simon was repressed but straight.
Maher, on the other hand is gay.
For some reason this makes me think of a Kids in the Hall sketch. A woman is talking about a guy in her high school: "I thought he was gay, but it turned out he was a genius."

especially when River nicks Jayne's food, I've always loved that little touch
re Simon: I don't think of him as a repressed homo; he's just a brainiac who's clueless about women b/c he spent so much of his time studying that he didn't get a chance to spend any time with girls.
