I noticed it too, Capercaillie. Good connection between the two of them that....

Mal:
"Yeah, I'm known for that."

If you'll look in the Blue Sun Room at the fanfiction. A great many of the stories feature a Jayne/River pairing. Also at Dragon Con this year several of the fans asked Adam Baldwin when River and Jayne were getting together. His argument for it never happening was the 20 year age difference and that Jayne is afraid of River. That was the first I heard of it, then the deeper I got into the Firefly fan network the more I saw of the River/Jayne shippers.

Sorry I just can't let that go

Cheating husband to wife: "Honey I don't just jump into bed with any woman. I pick and choose carefully..."

I guess as long as we are selective...

Sorry, but I can't let that go either.

You apparently missed my earlier post where I reminded you that Inara and Mal are NOT MARRIED, nor have they made any kind of commitment to one another. Therefore this argument is completely moot. I am sure if the day ever came when Mal and Inara got married, she would never cheat on him with anyone. She would give up her profession as a companion. This is probably why she's reluctant to get into anything with Mal because she doesn't want to give up what her whole life has been about up until now.

She's not a prostitute, she's a 'companion' (courtesane) - and yes you do seem to have a hangup on sex.

So you chose your wife based on what others would think of her and not because of how you felt- how superficial.

What's with the personal attacks?

Fine, I'll admit it. I do have a "sexual hangup" with sex with anyone other than your partner. I am glad you and your partner don't.

Substitute "cheating boyfriend" for "cheating husband" in my previous post. That will cover the fact that they are not married.

I'm "sensin' some tension" out there and it's not all UST !!

Let's keep it fun and friendly. We can all agree to disagree....We just probably shouldn't go car-shopping together. (I love the male/female thing on CarTalk)

Remember Mal and Inara are fictional characters not fictionalized people.

Now, back to the fun stuff...

In OOG, when we see Mal and Inara meet for the first time, he says "whore" just under his breath and SHE chooses to respond to it with "That's the last time you get to call me 'whore'" Honestly, she set the whole dynamic up on that one. Besides, she admits to Book that she has "called him worse".

With regard to UST, any comments on the morning meet-up outside Nandi's room in HOG. That was so perfectly awkward!

You spin me about

I wasn't personally attacking you. Didn't my smiley face indicate that? I was just presenting a different point of view that you seem to have not considered. That is what a discussion board is for, no? Also, they aren't dating at all. That's why I don't think your argument applies. They aren't even going out. They're still in the "does he/doesn't he" "should I/shouldn't I" phase.

Okay, here's a bunch of happy emoticons so you can see I'm not personally attacking you.
