Yes, I don't doubt it, but colors can be off in pictures. I think the reason I'm having trouble remembering the exact color is that his eyes are kind of that odd hazel color that changes from green to pale brown depending on the lighting and what colors he wears. They were definitely NOT blue though. How can I be sure? Because I too am a sucker for blue eyes. He's still got gorgeous eyes though, regardless of the color. I studied them up close as much as I could without embarrassing myself too badly.
He was very nice in person, and put up with the staring very sweetly.

Fert1, I know I'm harping on this, but it's a real nit-pick of mine. I have to disagree with you - Adam's eyes are DEFINITELY blue.
Photos don't lie. Check out any of the Adam screencaps/photos in the Blue Sun Room. Pause your episodes of Firefly, especially when the light is hitting him from the side. Watch any of his movie from the last 25 years. Hell, it's even listed in his actor's bio:
Height: 6'4". Hair: Brown. Eyes: BLUE.
Someone back me up here!

Yep, they're blue.
Uh, I don't know what else to add. I second everyone else...Easy on the eyes, but more importantly all those little moments that show there's more to Jayne than meets the eye - and wouldn't any woman love to explore that side!
As for Jaylee: I have to admit that I don't see it in the show/BDM at all. In fact, I find him pretty rude to her at times, but the Jaylee writers out there (you know who you are) are ruttin fantastic and make me a believer everytime I read one. The Jaylee writers have totally gotten me hooked on their 'crack' of angst, romance, and drama.

They don't? Then why do I have an old photo that makes me look like a redhead? My hair is a very dark brown, and I've never used dye on it.
Not trying to be difficult, but when I met the guy in person, shook his hand. The eyes were NOT blue, or at least not what I consider to be blue. I think we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one.

Fert1, I'm frustrated with you to the point of tearing at my hair, but I have to concede that I'm not going to change your mind about this.
I agree that SOME photos lie. Bad ones. Professional head shots don't. Nor would Adam's own people lie about eye colour in his bio.
*sighs* I'm sticking to my guns on this one.

I don't love Jayne. But I liked him a whole lot better after I learned a few things about Adam Baldwin. I'm really rather impressed by the man.
And Jayne and Kaylee? No way. No WAY.

Warning: small spoiler.
I have this creeping suspicion that women like Jayne because he's not too smart. I'm not saying he's a idiot, but he certainly is no genius. We all saw him flip out when Simon was about to say the "safe word" in the dining room. Which in my book means he's suseptible to "wiles". Heck, maybe I'm just cynical.

Adam's eyes are definitely BLUE.
There's no doubt about it.
Believe me. I'm sure you're not color blind, it's just that maybe the light did a weird trick to you at that time. I would have blushed head to toe meeting that man, I'm sure that looking him straight in the eyes would have been difficult without turning rainbow colors...
Any picture would confirm you that he's got blue eyes. Saw most of his movies, I have a thing for blue eyed men, so, well I'm 100% sure you maybe saw him under a weird light...

never used to imagine Jayne and Kaylee together, until I started reading some of Jacqui's fics. Now, it seems the only possible pairing!
She's written several series.
Her most recent series started with this story: "Didn't mean nothin'" This is a link to the first installment: http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=8090
The latest installment, number 8, is called "small victories" and has a link to all 8 parts
She also wrote a series called "Best Deceptions", here's a link to the first installment:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=8090
Additionally, she wrote a fantastic series called Pieces, which is really long, starts of as Simon/Kaylee and turns into Jaylee.
If you want to find them, click on her profile and you will be able to see everything she's posted.
If you like Jayne/Kaylee, I'm sure you'll love all of them :-)

As much as I agree with the physical appeal of Jayne (pauses to compose herself), I have to agree with what others are saying about his personality. In the Pilot, we see Jayne wait for the entire operation on a catwalk in a not-too-comfortable position. Also in the same ep, we see that he is more than willing to kill Dobson over shooting Kaylee. Would he do the same for Mal?
In Bushwacked, he plays the hoop game and isn't using dirty tactics to get the ball; he feels a part of the crew, maybe even family like. Adding Kaylee to his shoulders is a natural extension of that family.
The Ariel and Jaynestown references fit here as well. Jayne's not stupid, but he doesn't think things through. His self-absorption is his prime motivator for whatever he does, be that getting sex or money. And thanks to whomever noticed that Jayne was more concerned about the crew than his own death in Ariel. I hadn't looked at it that way.
But for me, the real reason to love Jayne is his respect for women. The hair brushing scene in Heart of Gold was a clincher for me. What man would do that after having been sexed up by a whore? (pauses to compose herself) If you notice that whenever he's with a whore, he spends the night. It's important for him to be with her. I believe that he wants the woman to enjoy the experience as much as he does. And look at the bed scene in HoG where he moves his gun out of the way. He's completely wrapped around the woman (and his gun of course). That, I honestly believe, is what Jayne wants. He likes waking up to a woman in bed with him and not just with him, but enveloped by him. He is protector, sure, but that softness is something that he would never openly admit nor show to his crew - too weak perhaps to show in his eyes.
As for a Jaylee, I do support the concept, especially after reading all the fics out there, most notably by Jacqui and Belasera. She brings out the good and kind in him that I think he would like to show just a bit more of. I don't know if Kaylee could love Jayne, but I know for darn sure that he would be head over heels for her. At the same time, I do support Simon and Kaylee. I like Simon and don't want to see him hurt. But definitely, no way, no how, do I want to see Jayne with River. She is not anything he is attracted to and yes, I do have a problem with the age difference, no matter how mature she is in her head and immature he is in his head.
Whew, thanks for letting me get that off my chest. And to steal a line used earlier, I'll be in Jayne's bunk :)
