P.S. Oh yeah, Reaver's for when i'm hungry, and/or horny!
Some of that, and some of the very well worded other posts on this thread.
The reason it resonates so deeply with me is that these are ordinary people trying to eke out an existance any way they can - legit or otherwise. Much like us here on earth that still is. Although i would like think we are mostly on the legit side, other than trying to take what advantage we can of the taxman!
They are not a crew of graduates from the academy, out to spead the word of the verse, oversee new civilisations and protect the verse from itself. They are not diplomats out to mediate arguments between planets/races.
They are imperfect people (although Jaynes arms are perfect, and yes followmal, the capin is near perfection)working and living together in close quarters - sounds like a family unit to me. Yeah - some of 'em fit better than others, but in a large family (and I am from one so i know) thats pretty much normal. And in a family, the head of the family looks out for all, as does each member of the family. Now some would argue that Jayne has betrayed some of the family members on occasion, but again, from personal experience, that also happens and the culprit is still welcomed back into the bosum of the family(maybe after some strong words have been exchanged and amends have been made).
It still leaves me wishing that i could see more of the family *heaves a heavy sigh* feeling kinda sad now, need to go watch some FF to cheer up, or maybe another thread....
I'll be in Jaynes bunk

I love it because the charactors seem real, like actual people you could meet in a cowboy, malticultured galixie filled with control freek gorvornemts that sux at govorning, univers.
The court of this obsession, is abstracted from possession which when the worlds of outside in fall.
