In terms of looks I think I prefer the new Kaylee. But she doesn't fit the part as well. Her screen time was disappointing, but could they have really had her in it any more? For Serenity 2 the plot should be designed with 'have more kaylee' as one of the main criteria.

I didn't think Kaylee was the most changed character, that award would go to Simon. When did Simon becomes a badass?? He punched Mal and everything, awesome. I think I like the new Simon more

Mal must have been a bad influence on him, too. Everyone seems to wind up hitting him.

I had no problem with Kaylee in Serenity, so shes lost the weight, i didnt even notice that much until i really looked.

Aslong as the lines are well written and acted, im not bothered, apart from lack of screen time.

I thought the same thing. I posted my response on a SoCal Browncoats Yahoo board. Basically, I liked the courage that it took to put an actress that looked thin but not starving on the screen in Firefly. It made Kaylee more approachable and her personality more endearing. Her body was like part of her costume in that way.

Just think of her as having gone on a crash diet, from thems not having enough coin to buy enough oaty bars. Jayne looks a bit thinner too, but becasue of his muscle, it doesn't show as well. Thinner Kaylee is still sexy as all get out. Maybe TOO sexy for a ship's mechanic.

Hey folks. Honestly I am a bit lost in the woods here, was Kaylee heavier? Really? I didn't know that, I couldn't tell. Obviously some can to turn it into some kind of discussion, when others (me) really had no clue at all.

Since this has come up here:
Simon was always a badass.

Now I have a feeling that everyone is looking at their screens funny having read that, but hear me out, it only takes one sentence.

Simon jumped off the catwalk to save River.

There, I have proven he was a badass. If you are not convinced you can read more at your own risk. I will use only the catwalk as an example from the series because it’s more than enough.

It takes a lot more guts to do something immediately and visibly dangerous than to put yourself in a situation that will result in almost certain death. That fall could have easily killed him. I knew an army Parachuter who broke his ankle as a result of a completely controlled jump off a two-foot tall ladder. (Ironically it was part of a demonstration to say, "If you do things right it is no more dangerous than this.") I broke my arm quite thoroughly from a height of three feet.

Simon jumped down a hell of a lot more than that, and he must have treated people who were injured from falls at the hospital. It doesn’t take much, people are fragile, he’s a doctor, he has to know that. That could have easily killed or crippled him (or just as easily left him completely unharmed, but work with me here) and he did it anyway.

When it comes to River he was always a badass.

What we see in Serenity starts out with him using a non-lethal weapon and putting himself in a position where the real danger started long after he was unable to back out. I think the catwalk thing took a hell of a lot more badassness than that. Cut to the present and he’s hitting Mal, someone not incredibly likely to damage him in response, in defense of River. Later on he stands up to Mal again, and it all ends up with a dramatic fight in which he is no more badass than Kaylee.

(Ha! I did manage to vaguely connect it to the thread’s topic.)

I’m not a "Simon fan," I like the character, love the character even, but that doesn’t make him any different from the rest. I just really didn’t see a change in him other than being less socially awkward, but that would come from being stuck with the crew for that long. Hell, we saw that change starting in the series.

This type of thing offends and upsets Jewel! Read her blog. http://users.ev1.net/~alternity/abadeo/jewel_staite/Jewel.html

And she does read here occasionally.

Think about it. Imagine Summer got like really fat between the time of Firefly and Serenity (wouldn't happen, I know.) would people be making threads saying that they liked the old Summer better?

"I love Matt, he's great!!" Summer Glau, re me!

There is a lot of pressure on people, especially women, to be thin! My point is.....women don't have to be thin to look good! I was merely stating, that in my humble opinion, she looked better in Firefly. Heavy or thin Kaylee (Jewel) is HOT!
