I think a short-ish do and a simple elegant dress work a lot better for Morena than long curls and dressing like a 16th century Turkish princess. Though the latter look was character-appropriate, of course.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Watched the rest of Disc 1 and all of Disc 2 today. This is a very good show. And Jewel Staite is SO HOT.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The reason Serenity's ass-end lights up? Kaylee's in the engine room.

Hey. New board.
Jewel is cute. Morena is beautiful. Summer is hot. Gina is... I think amazing is the only reasonable word. Gorgeous. Statuesque. Classic.
Summer's my favorite, but I have a weakness for waifs.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Jewel Staite is SO HOT.
Buh? I so don't get that, from the show. In the pictures from the movie premiere, she looked -- sexy, I guess, but didn't look like the same woman, actually, who had played Kaylee.
And I can't see Kaylee as hot, because I always suspect people who are that relentlessly, annoyingly cheerful to be slightly mentally deficient.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And I can't see Kaylee as hot, because I always suspect people who are that relentlessly, annoyingly cheerful to be slightly mentally deficient.
Bah! She, um... the exception that proves the rule. Or something.
Which is weird, because 99.99% of the time I'd agree with you....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Usually I find relentlessly cheerful people annoying and suspect them of being dummies. But I gotta speak up in Kaylee's defense. Though maybe she remains a little naive, she isn't dumb, and she's not always cheerful. She wasn't cheerful when Mal insulted her about the dress, or when Simon insulted her or Jayne did. She wasn't cheerful when Serenity broke and they all thought they were gonna die, or when she got shot (she was cheerful in the recovery room, but by then, she knew she was going to be okay). When there's reason to be unhappy, her emotions are appropriate, and she shows them as easily as she does her cheerfulness. But Kaylee's a naturally cheerful person; when the immediate dangers and problems are over, she's back to her default state of being happy. People like me, who are naturally melancholy (can't speak for anyone else), will not be particularly cheerful unless there's a really good reason for joy (and maybe not even then). Melancholy is my default or ground state, as it is for most of my friends, and since we're melancholy and smart, I guess we tend to associate the two. (As one of my friends once exclaimed, "How can any sane person look at the real world and be happy!" I'm not quite that sad.) Kaylee's had a lot of scary experiences since joining Serenity, but while those may have matured her and her expectation of other humans, she still sees the universe as basically a good place, and her ground state will probably always be happiness. Her brain is just wired that way. Lucky her.

All is well that ends in pizza.
At the Ren Faire yesterday, Andi and I saw someone wearing a "Joss Whedon is my master now" t-Shirt.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
True. I shouted, "Browncoat!" in reaction, but not even Daniel heard me.

I do find Kaylee pretty hot, but I can understand the cheerfulness making it impossible to see her as hot. Actually, I'm not even sure I'd say "hot". It seems like the wrong word somehow (for me, you understand), even though I adore her and she's my favorite character.
