In Firefly, discussing 'ships:
Gus:
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.
tommyrot:
Badger/Kaylee? Here's my bank account, take what you will.
That would only work for me if their relationship was a little... kinky.
Gus:
She wears the hat.
Fork over the bank account, dude.
Cindy:
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.
Gus:
Oh, no you don't.
'Nuff will be said when we all agree that Zoe would kick Wash's ass up level with his ears if he strayed.
On the Jayne/Kaylee thing ... I was saying no relationship would work there, not that Kaylee would be doomed. Jayne would be in Jayne Heaven, while Kaylee rolled her eyes. Toward Book, that is, 'cuz the writers need help to make that happen.
tianxiaode:
*sticks by Badger/Mal/very fine hat OT3*
Gus:
Badger/Mal.
Badger/River, maybe. They could take turns not knowing who was wearing the hat, or if there was a hat at all, or if, ulitimately, a hat was the reason we are all here.
