In my opion I think that Kaylee could be with anyone because she seeks the good in everything and doesnt get blown over or turn sour because of others bad judgements
Someday the verse will spit in your soup but at least they gave you soup.

Here's a civil response to Leiasky's question about Jayne and Kaylee, becasue I've wondered this too. The only things I can think of are:
1) Jayne and Kaylee are the only two on the ship without someone to hook up with - Zoe's with Wash, Cap'n & Inara are hot for eachother, Book is celibate, and Simon is too busy with River.
2) Jayne continually makes sexual remarks about Kaylee - getting "lubed up" over Simon and wishing he was a gynecologist in the pilot, wanting to hear more about her B.O.B "twitching her nethers" in Serenity, plus a few others at various points in the series.
3) Before Simon came on Jayne was the only option Kaylee had.

Very true!
And they still didn't get together even with no Simon in the picture :)

I have to agree with Leiasky's post above, Jayne was the only viable option on the ship and they still didn't get together. It has also been pointed out that Jayne and Kaylee have similar backgrounds. That's all good and well but I think that's part of the attraction between Simon and Kaylee, that they are so different. It's not a recipe for disaster, I know plenty of couples that are completely different, from different parts of the country, different backgrounds, all that stuff, and they are still together. My one friend went to boarding school, attended Ivy League, is working on her masters and her boyfriend is from a small town and worked his way up through his company with minimal education. They've been together for four years now (hopefully he will get off his ass and ask her to marry him-we all have our fingers crossed!). That argument just doesn't hold weight for me, I mean, I've dated Republicans ( which is inevitable where I live!). Just my thoughts on that one particular issue.

>Yet he doesn't say this was in any way reciprocated.
It's Joss's verse, like he's really going to let a couple be happy? do we need to review all the ruined couples that lay in this man's wake? Buffy/Angel Zander/Cordy Willow/Oz Buffy/Riley Willow/Tara Zander/Anya Buffy/Spike Angel/Cordy Fred/Gunn Weasley/Cordy Weasly/and the one chick who's name I can't remember but she worked for Wolfram and Hart. Weasly/Fred (oh that one killed me, I honest to goodness cried) That one reminds me the most. The Weasley/Fred/Gunn triangle is so similar of the Simon/Kaylee/Jayne. He was just laying the foundation to screw with all of the charaters and probably (again,for examples of this look at his body of work) just kill them off.

...Unfilmed script? Where can I find it?? Also, where is the interview with Adam Baldwin that has all his musings on Jayne?
How could I have missed these things? *shakes head in woe*

Some people juggle geese.
Sorry I didn't see that earlier
it looks like someone gave you the link to the "Dead or Alive" script. I wouldn't say that it's further evidence towards Jaylee, just more evidence that Jayne has a little crush (in Joss's words too). I'm really not a Jaylee shipper - I like my ships dark, painful and full of redemption 
which is why I ship Rayne *woo*You're really gonna make me find that interview aren't you? *sigh* It's gonna take a while coz I have no idea when or where I saw it. Watch this space

I watched the series and the movies before finding this site, or fanfic of any kind. It wasn't until I started reading fanfic that the Jaylee concept even occurred to me.
That said, I can totally see a Jayne/Kaylee hook-up. Still, I think some of the arguements made by the Jaylee shippers are a little stretched (easy to do when you want to see something).
If anyone is interested in how it would sound/work, I highly reccomend Jacqui's work. Start with one shot pieces like "Whiskey Bears" or "Sometimes." You'll get the idea soon enough. She captuers ALL the character's voices very well.
Plus, I've been a Joss Whedon fan for a loooong time. He is very, very good at laying the groundwork in one season for things that happen with characters two or three seasons down the road. Though I don't see a whole lot between Jayne and Kaylee yet (beyond caring, comfortable friendship), I think the way Joss played it definately set things up for future drama. Furthermore, I've heard he came out and said as much...that a love triangle was in the works for down the road.
Now that I've been exposed to the Jaylee concept, I can't see it any other way. In my opinion, they would make the most adorable couple in the verse.

What interview?
There is a Q&A with Joss on the Australian DVD of Serenity where someone actually comes out and pointedly asks him if S/K would stay together.
I've only seen it once, but I believe Joss' response was 'I think they have a good chance', after hemming and hawing a bit over the answer. Anyone else see it?
While I know people like to compare the love triangle stuff with his previous shows, Firefly is nothing like Buffy/Angel, and I just don't believe he'd take the relationships with these characters to the extents he took those.
