Implying that women are shallow, gold-digging, power-hungry hussies and that the only way for a man to get attention is by catering to that isn't being chauvinistic? My mistake.

I get the feeling you're annoyed by my comments here PR...
Good to know you're not completely dense.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
A troll's hair is still pointy, even when it's wearing a hat.

Well while you're there, maybe you should stop picking fights and being so pity-hungry. You might get out.
And I'm not Inara. That's kind of the whole rutting point I was making.

I'm just jumping in here really quick to ditto a few things...

My unpopular firefly opinion is about the BDM, I dislike the change to Simon Tam, he is a wuss, he never shot anyone, flinches in a fight and suddenly hes a one man Rambo assault team to break his sister out of a place we were told she was "carefully smuggled out of".
Didn't like the intro to the BDM because of this. Its so NOT Simon.
I too disliked the River battle scene but for different reasons after the initial attack. I too study martial arts and have for a long time and no way 20+ people you'd get out of that unless, you are Super Girl in a 'verse that don't have super heroes.
Oh and Jayne IS a bad guy, but he's a bad guy loyal to Mal and only to Mal. He betrayed Mal once and learned the hard way, I doubt he would do it again. though I 'spose he'd have to to keep the tensions up.
So glad I'm not the only one who hates the sudden change to a 'tough' Simon. I swear, it's non-canon. Same thing goes for the BDM opening sequence. Yeah it was badass, but Simon isn't badass. I dunno why but I also missed his vests in the movie. It was like something was missing lol.
The River fighting sequence also bothered me for the same reasons every other martial arts person had, way over the top. It probably didn't get to me as much as I'm a comic book fan and I'm used to all of those over the top actiony sequences, and totally dig that iconic shot of her standing there, blades in hand while the doors open... but how the hell did those doors open?! Bugs the crap out of me every time I watch.
Also, I think Jayne was too cheesy in the first couple of scenes. Like they were trying to make him too funny.
In short, the BDM was ok. When I first saw it I was all WOW... but then I saw the whole series and watched the BDM a few more times and it was sorta like... huh... (yeah I'll get the collector's edition though) but in short, while there are a few scenes, I've found it makes pretty computer Wallpepers more than anything else.
I also didn't really care for the comic book. Maybe I'm biased cause I read Kingdom Come last night and that's the best GN ever, but it just didn't read much to me as a Firefly episode. Some of the writing felt off and the drawings didn't capture some of the characts (Simon and Wash in particular)
Anndd...
Mal and Inara would never have gotten together... maybe in the end... the very end... but Joss probably would have killed Inara off or something.
Jayne wears hats, and as much as I love him for being an untrained ape, he would've turned on the crew again and Mal probably would have had to have made the decision of killing him.
As much as I love fluff, no way you can raise a baby while running from the law.
This said I'll probably hook up Mal and Inara, make Jayne a decent guy and add a baby to my fic (HA!)
I seriously doubt the baby... but hell... it's fiction.Ash

I don't think that's true. I know speculative interviews in the Official Companion aren't solid canon, but they're as close as we can get at the mo' and that's not what the general idea seemed to be around Mal and Inara.

Heh... I stated my opinion, which you obviously don't agree with, and you came at me with claws love. It's still debatable whether or not my opinion is popular or unpopular, given our very limited polling environment here.
The Inara thing was because you're quarrelling with me over something that is basically unprovable either way, and couldn't possibly be a general truth either way, given the infinite combinations of male and female personalities clashing. I just found your reactions amusing is all, and admittedly, I've had a bit of fun getting under your skin. Reminiscant of Cybill and Bruce on Moonlighting. Wasn't implying you're a whore, just to clear that up now.
You don't have to be so catty with me PR. We're all friends here.

The new browncoat doesn't have the Official Companion. All I'm opinionizing off of is the series, GN, BDM. But thankies for clearing that up
That's what I get for coming into the discussion not well versed on the 'verse.I'll learn some day.

Don't sweat it. You know more about the verse than I do, given you've read the GN, and I never shut the hell up. Your opinion isn't any less valid than anyone elses here and besides... this is the "unpopular opinion" thread anyways.
