Sie Sie Humble...And I agree with you...

While River is a unique and shiny character my fave is also Mal.

Heh heh, oh yeah. I love Jayne's total lack of a brain-to-mouth filter.

Tough choice. I'm caught between Kaylee and Jayne. On the one hand, I just can't help but love Kaylee--she brightens the whole mood of the show, and when she hurts, I hurt. But on the other hand, Jayne has the most memorable quotes ("What'd ya'll order a dead guy for?"), plus he's just cool to start with.

In the end, I have to go with Kaylee.

Hey all, newbie here,

Zoe is my favorite character. She's a great fighter and tremendously loyal to Mal. More than anyone on Serenity she knows what the Captain went through in the war and that bond between them is one of the strongest on the show. The look on her face when Mal wakes up at the end of Out of Gas says it all, "Welcome back, sir". In her own way, she's trying to recover from what happened in Serenity Valley by marrying Wash and wanting to bring life back into the world. She's an optimist who has been beaten down enough to learn to keep it hidden. I find it interesting that she would pick Wash to marry, someone who clearly did not fight on either side and is about as non-fighter-like as anyone. Maybe I'm reading more into the scene but it seemed like a little something died in her when Wash wanted to go back and do physical violence in War Stories.

Between Mal and Zoe I think we see two different paths of recovery.

That, and she is a warrior woman.

Don't let my alias fool you. I like Kaylee better than Saffron, but there's already someone named KayleeFan. I love her personality best of all. Mostly sunny, but she has dead serious moments too. Which seem to be whenever Simon says the wrong thing. Besides, it's impossible to dislike someone so cute.

Shepherd Book is awesome. I love his "special hell" speech, and the "Well that's just special" line later in the episode. I love his reaction to River "fixing" his bible. There's a mystery about who he is that's compelling.

As a geek grrl in real life I've gotta like Kaylee.

Mal Reynolds

Mal: “Mercy is the mark of a great man. (stabs Atherton) Guess I'm just a good one. (stabs Atherton again) Well, I'm alright.”

That right there says it all. he is all about business and protecting his crew, even Jayne.

Definitely Mal.

I like Mal's sense of honor, and his sense of what is right & wrong, the system be damned. He is kind of a rebel with a cause; his crew.

Hello all, first post, new guy in town.
As the name suggests, The Tam siblings are my two favorites, with Jayne coming close behind.

Simon is great because he gave up a fantastic life of privilige for his little sister, and he's still a good guy. In Ariel, he takes the time to save a dying patient, and even after he finds out that Jayne rolled on him and River, he tells him that he will never let him die in his care. That, and he tries his best to help, even though the boy couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from the inside with a targeting laser.
River... well now, she's just plain interesting. No matter how she treats everybody else (her particular treatment of Jayne is quite humorous, if a little violent sometimes), she's still a little girl when it comes down to it, when Simon has to be the doctor to her. Her psychic abilities give her a bit of an odd personality facet and her sometimes unnerving reactions to situations just make her that more interesting.
Jayne.... well, it's Jayne. Always seems to be about the money, but he's got a soft spot in there somewhere that he loses a lot of the time. And he's now my favorite Baldwin, and I despise the Baldwins.One of my favorite scenes is Jayne in the airlock, and before he goes, he still doesn't want Mal to tell the others what really happened to him. Kinda like that.

Definitly would be Kaylee. She's the heart of the crew, and she determines the mood of the show. If Kaylee's happy the audience is happy; if she's sad, well, you get the picture. If my memory serves me correct Joss even mentioned in the commentary how the audience believes whatever Kaylee says; cauz whatever she says is true.
Example, Kaylee: (to Mal,'Serenity') You are a nice man too, Captain. You always looking after us.

WASH:
"Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land'."
"I think we should call it...your grave!"
"Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"
"Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh...now die!"
