My favourite relationship is without a doubt the Simon/River relationship. Sean and Summer have this great chemistry that really makes you love those two together. I sort of love how Simon is "a man of logic" in someways and he has to adapt and think in different ways with River now that she has very little logic left.

River is more logical than anyone else on the show. She just gets her facts mixed up.

True. But he thinks... or thought or whatever... that she's unlogical and therefore forces him to think in a different way to try and understand her (without much success at least in the earlier episodes)

I agree that River is more logical than all the rest, but she doesn't get her facts mixed up at all - it is just that she sees/knows many facts the others have not seen or learned yet. So to them she seems confused - but it is them that are the confused ones and it is their confusion that makes it so hard for River to communicate with them and makes her doubt her own sanity.
IMHO, anyway ;-)

My favorite is one that hasn't been touched on too much until Objects in Space, and the BDM. Mal and River have a very complicated relationship probably even more so than with Inara.
During almost the entire series Mal's attitude toward River is keep her quiet and out of my way and we won't have a problem. After his mind has to do a 180 and go from not trustung her at all to having to trust her completely in Objects in Space you see the seeds of the relationship being born. The BDM gave us a little more with the robbery scenes and the bar fight, going from trust to untrust again. Hopefully with the BDM2 we will se this being evolved even more.

Mal did trust her to fly serenity into orbit at the end of BDM, so she has already returned to a position on his "trusted" side.

For me the best relationships are;
Mal and Inara - They play that tension thing really well and you can see they want to be together but for some reason never seem to, it just adds more depth to one and other.
Wash and Jayne - They are always ripping into each other and bouncing off each other. Plus some of the best lines are between both of them (for me anyways)

I'm going to go with Mal and River as one of my favourites, too. 'Little one' kills me; it's supposedly careless but then not. So un-obvious too.
Like the protective Kaele/Mal thing too.
And Jayne and Mal. That's been pretty well discussed on another thread.
It's that strength thing Inara's muttering about on 'Heart of Gold'. Damn fool.
On a non-Mal front? Simon and Inara. Just from a background point of view, they have a natural affiliation. Could lead to some very interesting jealousy scenarios in later times...

When I see Simon and River it makes me feel I should be nicer to my brother.
I like the Simon/Mal relationship both in a slashy and non slashy way. All the relationships on Serenity are so intricate but I really like Simon/Mal, Zoe/Wash and River/Book
