It's okay, Fert1, I still have my hair. ;P And, hey, at least you get to watch Bones! It hasn't started airing where I live. It is supposed to start within the next few months, so I'll have to keep an eye out for that ep.

There have been some really great points made on this thread, and I have to say that I agree with all of them. Especially those made my HISGOODGIRL. (Love your fics, by the way ).

When I first started watching the show, I wasn't really drawn to Jayne by his looks - that part came later, after I'd gotten to know his character better. I love his looks in the context of them belonging to Jayne, not Adam. I don't know that I'm explaining that very well, but it's like I had to like him before I LIKED him, you know?

I always come back to that letter from his mother. Why would a man so apparently obsessed with coin be sending any of it back home to his Ma? And he was quite willing to hand over the rest of his Ariel takings to Niska to get Mal and Wash back. There's nothing materialistic in either of those instances.

It's like Tim and Joss said in The Train Job commentary:
"Jayne was designed simply to be an asshole, but he became beloved."
"He became beloved instantly."

"Now somethin' about that is just downright unsettlin'."

And don't forget in Our Mrs. Reynolds, Jayne was willing to give up his most prized possession to get Mal's wife. I know that women are not to be bought and sold, but doesn't this say something about his desire to find love and/or happiness?

Just a thought.

I gave gotta admit, I was a might curious about this one myself.

The guy's a big dumb untrustworthy lunk, but he seems to be most certainly adored and the reasons why appear quite unanimous.

So, Ahh… if you'll excuse me, I’m gonna go work out a whole lot and then commit some crimes.

… Yeah! That’s what I’ll do!

I love Jayne because he is big and strong and someone you want on your side. He is simple and I think he just needs a little guidance. Once he sees what's in it for him he is good.

Now I have always loved the idea of Jayne and Kaylee. The way he is crouched and looking into the infirmary as she is having surgery caught my attention. Then the way he looks from Simon to Kaylee at the table and makes the comment.

That said I am not saying it would work. I think Jayne likes her more than she would him, but they have more in common. Kaylee's feeling for Simon has kept her from Jayne.

I would love to read some Jaylee shipper fanfic.

let's see:
Big
handsome
strong
and really really funny....

and you know he loves women (in spite of the rude behavior), and he would go to the wall for you if he thought he should protect you....

and did I mention the funny?

But I don't see him w/Kaylee...although I do think that was something Joss was hinting at in the pilot episode. Personally I love the Jayne/River fan fic....

although I read a short story about Jayne & Simon I really liked. LOL

i could go on and on about why women love jayne.
most of what i would say, is the same as everyone else has already said.

people love the jayne that's portrayed by adam. god knows i do. he's gorgeous!!!!

so much more than any of the other baldwins. my hubby and i were watching and i said how yummy he was. my husband looked at me and said what about alec. i said what about him. adam is by far the best lookin one outta the bunch.

he just smiled and said i love you.
he also said it when i said the doc was to pretty. don't much like pretty men. like the rugged lookin ones.

but, the character of jayne, what woman wouldn't want him. big, tough, macho, protective, funny, loves his ma... what more could a girl want?

i'm all for the jayne/kaylee pairin. like i said, the doc's to pretty, stuffy, pompous, and his sister comes first. which is a good quality mind you, but there comes a time when you also gotta think for you and whoever your partner is.

i haven't seen serenity yet. *hides and cowers as fans throw stuff at me* my hubby and our friends are fixin to watch it tonight. i had to work when everyone went to see it, and i wanted to watch the show a few more times before i saw it.

i just think that with jayne, his guns come first, his own skin comes first. but, given the right woman, they would come first with him. Take the hair brushin scene, he was brushin the ladies hair... come on, how sweet is that!!! it feels so good when someone brushes your hair, especially a guy.

i mean, yeah, in the pilot there was some hintin as to how he felt towards kaylee, but because of some stupid network..(Who we all know, but shall remain nameless...*grumble grumble* ) we never got to see what might have happened between the two, if anything. but because of that, our imaginations can go on workin the way they do.

oh, and one more thing. who cares about age. it's just a number. don't much matter how old he is and how old she is. hell, he'd need a younger woman just to keep up with him(i'd sure as hell love to give it a go)
anyways... i'm done babblin

"Dear diary, today i was pompous and my sister was crazy."

i would just like to recommend some fanfic since i see that Jaqui has been mentioned (yes, good writer ). my favorite jaylee writer (and actually in general) is ItsaWash. All of her work is wonderful and her way with words is amazing. and she really makes the pairing make sense. Just keep in mind that all of her stuff is NC-17 (but what shiny NC-17!!) To see all of her work go to her profile: http://www.fireflyfans.net/showprofile.asp?un=ItsaWash

I promise you, you won't be disappointed

EDIT: oh, i just went back up to the top of the page and ItsaWash was the one who started the whole thing...lol, that's so like me not to read that. hey washie!!!! *huggles* lol, well, she mentioned her fic, but it's my job as her walking talking typing billboard to tell you bout it! so there, not silly! well, a little silly since i like being silly

keep flyin'

Ehm Ashlan...just for your info:

Adam is not related to the Baldwin brothers!
He did a few movies with Stephen, but they're not his kin!!!

Plus, I've been told that Alec, a few years ago, tried to make Adam change his surname...he pratically took him to the court the bastard!!!
He lost of course...

Plus look at them, c'mon the "clones" all look like...Adam looks nothing like them!
They only wish to be that gorgeous!

CantonHeroine, where did you get that pic of AB on the right hand side? I know the left one is from My Bodyguard, but what's the second? Never thought I'd like AB with long hair, but my goodness...
