You read my mind. I have a plot bunny which I am feeding crack-coated carrots. And then I will unleash it.

More River and Jayne, don't much care if it is good, bad, little sister/big brother, sexual, or like the characters in the movie The Professional.

Just more River and Jayne.

Great idea for a thread

I too would have liked to have seen more Zoe and Inara interaction, that conversation in Trash was one of the only times they ever talked one on one, and was much more interesting in the original shooting script. It was cut and so i guess it isn't canon, but originally the topic of that conversation strayed to sex, in particular, faking an orgasm. When I read this in the shooting script I realised that Zoe and Inara were the only women on the ship having regular sex, and the only other person getting any was Wash. I think there could have been a bit of potential for them to relate on that level, as well as the whole Mal thing.

Also, Jayne and Zoe. Mal, Jayne and Zoe were part of the original 'thievery team' and yet there wasn't a lot of delving into Zoe and Jayne as teammates, and how much respect they did or didn't have for each other. Also, Jayne was always making comments about wanting to see Zoe naked, chipping in for a slinky dress, "Hell, I'll pinch ya" etc, so it would have been interesting to see exactly where he was coming from there, was he being half-serious or just joking? Was he attracted to Zoe? etc etc

Gorram it, I just wanted more ruttin' episodes!

Jayne and Book were my favorite duo, I think. They get awfully introspective around each other, especially considering one of them is Jayne. They complement each other nicely. One of my favorite scenes in the series is in The Message, when they're talking about reactions to death.

Wash and Kaylee, too. A lot of this is influenced by the Jewel/Alan commentary, which I loved.

This one isn't really a relationship issue, but I would have liked to see some more "normal River" moments as the series progressed... not the ones where she gives her, "wtf you crazy" looks, but like at the end of Objects in Space, when she says, "That's the popular theory" and sounds like a teenage girl. Good end.

Book and Jayne seemed relate. Jayne would open up to Book. Like the discussion on how dead people have different effects on people in "The Message". But Book seems to share himself with just about everyone on Serenity. That's why I didn't him being killed off in the movie. If the story were to continue I feel River would fill in for Book. By being in touch with peoples feeling she could give them guidance. And if River replaces Wash as pilot she would be working closely with Kaylee as Wash did when Serenity was sabotaged by Mrs. Reynolds. As for the others, Mal is still wound to tight to let Inara in his life. Well the movie finally got Simon and Kaylee on the same page. And I don't anything happening for Zoe now that Wash is gone. She wanted children and now that won't happen. And Jayne will probably continue to whore his way though life. Of course this is all up to Joss isn't it.

And what do we do with the chain of command?

What a mess. I thought I wasn't getting through so I kept hitting the reply. Now I find I have three of the same replies on this thread. Didn't mean to take up so much space. you can delete two of them if you want. Seems silly to have all those duplicate messages. But the system seems to be working again so I hope this will cause less confusion.

And what do we dowith the chain of command?

Hmmm, as far as that goes, I really would like to see the whole Inara/Tams thing develop. At least, Inara and Simon. I feel like they all have such a familial relationship with one another. Like in Heart of Gold, where they're delivering the baby, and both Inara and Simon admit that this will be their first delivery. And then Inara kisses him on the cheek and says something to the effect of 'you're a great doctor', or some such. It was just so innocent with no pretense, and Simon just grimaces (at the prospect) and goes on with what he's doing. I'd say Kaylee interacting with everybody was awesome. I think that her relationship with Zoe was headed for some looking into. It seems to me they've known each other as long as Mal and Kaylee have known each other. Wash and Kaylee's relationship was so adorable. Just because they were both mechanically inclined and could feed off of the others enthusiasm.

Always love that moment between I/S and the cheek kiss, very sweet and not in a shippy way. The Tams and Inara do seem at ease with each other, refined. Of course Mal is hell bent on keeping them apart(as we see in the pilot) because most conversations between him and Inara end in frustration and confusion. I like Wash, Kaylee and Zoe together, also. Zoe and Simon would be fun, like what we see in the opening of The Message. Wash and Inara had little screen time together, but I always thought that he appreciated her sense of humor, especially when she outwits Jayne.

One of the running criticisms of the movie is that these relationships were shelved for a Mal/River (with a dash of Inara "the girl left behind") centric story. Nine characters would have been a challenge, I understand, but they made a much more complete family on the smaller screen. Love this topic.
