My husband and I were watching the pilot with director commentary this evening. Joss mentioned that the relationship between River and Simon is his favorite. This made me ask my husband what his favorite relationship was. He never did tell me, but he replied right away that he knew what mine was....and he was correct (must be why I love him).

Anyway - let's hear what your favorite Firefly relationship is. Should be interesting to read.

I'll have to agree with Joss on this one. Sean and Summer play that relationship so closely and so well that it's hard to believe they're NOT brother and sister!

My favorite relationship, without a doubt....

I have to suggest the Zoe/Wash relationship, simply cuz I am impressed with how Alan and Gina actually make it seem like they are a married couple occasionally at odds with each other's behaviour.

I am just glad Joss fought to keep them married after Fox wanted them to be merely dating or attracted to one another (a la Simon and Kaylee or Mal and Inara).

I'll agree with that relationship as well. Heck, all ten characters have great relationships with eachother.

My fave is definatley the River and Simon relationship. Just the lengths that Simon will go to for his sister.... makes me value my own.
The episode "Safe" is one of my fave's for that very reason.

Mal and Zoe. I love how strong and unspoken their relationship is, without the typical romantic thing going on.

Wash and Jayne's relationship just cracks me up.

I'll have to go with Wash and Zoë. I love that we actually got a loving adult relationship along with all the little bumps that go with it as well as the constant work that keeps going into one to keep it going.

My seconf fav is a tie between Kaylee with Serenity and Kaylee and Mal. She's got such faith and devotion to both, it's so sweet. And to see how Mal ends up indulging Kaylee inspite of himself is adorable.

Jayne and Book is good. They sort of knock around together, but without all of the cliched mismatched buddy crap.

Probably facing him down over Laurence's unconcious body put Book on Jayne's "Respect" map. That, and the way Book put Dobson down. Whop! no messing.

Jayne's always sniping and probing about Book's comprehensive knowledge of lawlessness and the lawless. Book accommodates his curiosity by being as unforthcoming as usual.

Perfect match.

Then again they all are. Mal with his girls. Kaylee is a daughter on loan, and on a relatively long leash. River is his daughter, who he will not give up to maintain position, advance others' or bend to the Alliance. Safe? Daddy?

Jackass when it comes to Inara, though. But that, darlin's,is what he does...

Wash and Zoe are so comfortable. They're together, it's right, and no further comment is needed. You wouldn't want to pry enough to earn a look and a raised eyebrow from Zoe, would you?

Simon and Kaylee. Just need to give him a little time to get the whole wooin' and courtin' thing sorted out. He'll manage eventually.

Really, Gaffeman is only still alive because he's fallen for the only person on board who is worse at firearms handling than him.
