Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

I did not like Mal at all until I saw the series in order (i.e. on the DVDs). I wouldn't have said "too dark" but more like "too mean". Everyone else was within a normal range of being friendly with each other but he just stuck out as being a total prick. BUT I think having missed "Our Mrs. Reynolds" during the original run probably had a lot to do with it too. When I got my DVDs and watched them in order, I started to understand him more from the pilot* - but OMR is when I fell in love with him.

ETA * - the whole "you're a softy" exchange with Kaylee in the pilot also helped a lot towards making Mal a likable character

As long as no one hooks up they'll all be happy and surviving.

Whew! So as long as Kaylee keeps chasing Simon, she's safe.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Simon/Kaylee is doomed.

RepublicanMouthpiece/Kaylee is doomed.

Wash/Kaylee ... Wash is doomed.

Mal/Kaylee ... OK, I'd buy a ticket.

Book/Kaylee ... Ew! (Which means this is the hardiest hookup, for those having the writing chops.)

River or Zoe/Kaylee .. sure, I'd buy a ticket, but I'd feel bad about it. A little.

Badger/Kaylee? Here's my bank account, take what you will.

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

Badger/Kaylee? Here's my bank account, take what you will.

That would only work for me if their relationship was a little... kinky.

Fork over the bank account, dude.

Um.

She wears the hat.

Been listening to Joe Cocker recently?

Joe Cocker and recently.

Un-mixy things.

I should, though. Cocker had that raw thing going on.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Actually a Randy Newman song.

t wanders around trying to connect Randy Newman, Joe Cocker and Firefly.

t There is a hat in here. I'm sure of it.

What is even happening?

RepublicanMouthpiece/Kaylee is doomed.
Wash/Kaylee ... Wash is doomed.

I think just the opposite on these two. Kaylee'd set Jayne in his place. Wash is man enough for Zoe. 'Nuff said.
