Prepare to mount a fierce defense on the grounds that the shooting script isn't canon, and you have just as much right to do X as you do to make John and Rodney gay HA HA HA.

Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

And the potential to start a flamewar! *g*
Aside from the irritation factor, I feel in my heart that Jayne Cobb's father is not alive, so I guess we'll go with "ignore the shooting script and hope no one notices".

If he is alive, he's a deadbeat and nobody's seen nor heard from him since Jayne was about three. Probably killed in a barfight, though.

The shooting script seems to think he's alive and well and employed and living with Jayne's mother. Maybe that's why they cut those lines from the aired episode.

I always thought Jayne paradoxically had the most normal upbringing of any of them and the whole family is pretty much "Cobbs first and the devil take the hindmost." The kind of close-knit, loving family that robs banks together or something.

And I was hoping that Jayne was a replicant with implanted memories of family and home.

Me, if it's not on-screen canon, I don't have a problem with it. Unfilmed script dialogue argues as to the intent of the writer(s) but it was held back, perhaps to be contradicted later depending on plot needs, et cetera.
