Just watching BDM between the hours of dropping kids off and work. I never really noticed this before. At the end of the movie, after the operative has his final say to Mal, every member of the crew is given some particular attention about what the future has in store; all except for Jayne. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this? Still holding out for something more than novelization.
...now go run your little world.

For an odd reason, maybe just b/c I liked the way they interacted, I always thought Jayne would pick up religion after the death of Book.
I just kind of like the idea that he never found God, God found him and where that would lead to.

That actually makes a lot of sense....especially after the mudder boy sacrificed himself for Jayne....maybe at some point it WILL make sense to him.

Perhaps he returns to Higgin's Moon and becomes the hero the mudder's already think he is.

That is the main reason I wish the show would continued. Eventually Jayne would have to wake up and see the light. He came close on Arial when Mal hit him with a wrench and told him to straighten out and again in Jaynestown when the young man sacrificed himself to save Jayne.
In the movie, Jayne quoted Book and that means he is listening. It just has not totaly sunk in yet. If Joss ever produces a sequel we may see Jayne face his demons and turn his life over. I would like that to be a major part of the next movie.

I'm hearing a lot of "ifs".
I guess I'm a huge Jayne fan because I can relate to him best and I'm a really bad man! I've always thought that Jayne would eventually hook up with Kaylee. I think he does have a soft spot in his heart for her. He seems to care about her more than anyone on the ship. I've always wondered if one of the reasons for his animosity against Simon was the love interest in Kaylee. 'Cause I've thought about Jayne hooking up with Zoe, and that's downright unsettling.
*PS* with all the hate mail i've been getting regarding my pseudonym "Lawman", its not an homage to the lawman in the first double episode pilot of Firefly. Just another guy in law enforcement.
I could stand to hear a little more.

Well said. Jayne definatly seems to favor Kaylee. From his remarks at the table in the pilot episode, where he feigns disinterest toward Kaylee's feelings, to where he's seen in the shadows looking on as Kaylee fights for life. He is jealous of Simon, because Simon is everything Jayne isn't, nor could ever be, especially to Kaylee.
He's rich
He's good looking
He's smart
He's rich
He's young(er) than Jayne
He's rich
At the very least, Jayne likely sees Kaylee as close to 'kin folk' as he has on Serenity. They seem to be from similar economic backgrounds, and both seem to say / do what they feel, with out much consideration for the consequences.

Kaylee is the one person Jayne feels he can trust on Serenity. He either has jealousy against Simon, or just brotherly protectiveness over Kaylee.
I always thought it weird when Kaylee says to him (about River) that he doesn't like River because she can read his mind and all his thought are mean - and he responds Yeah, there is that.
At the end of BDM, he helps Mal get the big gun off the Hull, and then after we briefly see Simon and Kaylee in the background kitchen, he comes through eating something noodlelike, while still walking, and then Mal and Inara exchange chat. What more do we expect to see from Jayne? Hard Labor, gun, eat, get the hell out of his way when he's eating and walking. That is fairly much what I expect from him, not much more.
I don't see foreshadowing plus or minus regarding Jayne here.
