Because her girlfriend had had sex with PoorBitch and then had sex with Sharon.
Yeah, it is pretty farfetched.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh ack! I'd forgotten that potential plot line. That's just crazy-talk.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
i'm still disappointed that Serenity rewrote Firefly history and focused solely on a few characters instead of being an ensemble piece. not to mention killing one of my favorites.
oh and i hate River. there. i said it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I don't exactly hate River, but I do resent her story using up all the air in Serenity. I too missed the ensemble approach. They might as well have called it the Mal'n'Rivr story, with supporting cast. And yes, the two deaths still rankle. Mainly because while I realize there must be death, it was the *logical*, not the unexpected, characters who died--the old guy, and the happily married guy. Not the doctor-brother turned knight errant, or the swashbuckling captain, or even his staunch woman second in command. No. The old guy. The sweet guy. Just the ones you'd expect to wear the red shirts in any TOS script. They felt like cheap deaths, and Book and Wash deserved better.

Wash's death didn't feel clichéd to me, but I feared Book was going to tell Mal to win one for the Gipper before he passed away.

Per Wonderfalls season 2, weren't they also talking about having Jaye end up committed?

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

That's what I heard. That plot line actually sounded pretty interesting.

I have this vague memory that there was going to be something involving her brother's theological interests and the whole Jaye-talking tchotchkes thing.

I remember that her brother was going to be this John the Baptist type person, telling people that Jaye was not insane but a prophet.
I'm sure it would have been cooler than I'm describing.
