I thought she was cuter with the extra weight, too. But she is still beautiful, and I don't think she's starving herself to be thin or anything destructive. She's said that keeping the extra weight on was unpleasant, because she had to eat more than she wanted to. So I guess she just has a fast metabolism. Poor thing.
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I think she looked better with the extra weight too, but as it's been said, it's not like she's starving herself. Having to force oneself to eat lots cheeseburgers and donuts (if only I was forcing myself to eat the cheeseburgers and donuts I do.) is just as unhealthy as barely eating in an attempt to become super skinny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Having to force oneself to eat lots cheeseburgers and donuts (if only I was forcing myself to eat the cheeseburgers and donuts I do.) is just as unhealthy as barely eating in an attempt to become super skinny.
I disagree. If your destination weight is a healthy one for your frame (even if it's not your default), then it's not so bad. Super skinny is healthy for very few people. Jewel's TV!Kaylee weight might have been unfun to maintain (and that's enough grounds, IMO, to try and not do it anymore), but as long as she wasn't yoyoing, I don't think she was doing herself much harm, if any.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
In "Objects in Space", in the scene in which we get to see things from River's point of view, Kaylee is the only one who doesn't seem to radiate something completely different to River than the words she's actually physically pronouncing at the moment.This is half true. Anyone see her giving River the skunk-eye right when Simon says, "I would be there right now"? I liked how they snuck that in there. She doesn't have a lot going on under the surface, probably the least next to Jayne, but she's got something.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Sneaky way of showing that Kaylee does have some conflict going on that she doesn't express.
I loved those little quick cut-away shots to show what a character was really feeling. They didn't do it very often - I think only here and in the pilot with Inara - but it was really effective.
