I didn't know that was an unpopular opinion. Then I'm guilty as well since I enjoyed them thoroughly.

My unpopular opinion is that I think River is still insane - what with the brain messing and schizophrenia. I think this makes her character far more interesting than being Buffy, Jr.

My unpopular opinions besides what I may have already posted are that I am not a fan at all of Buffy, or Angel or any of the other "Vampire" shows of Joss Whedon. I simply am not a fan of vampires. My second unpopular opinion is while I think it sucked what happened to the great show Firefly with it getting cancelled before it completed one season, I do think it is a better fate than allowing it to go on past its "Jumping the Shark Episode," like what has happened to so many other great television shows in the past.

Starrbaby, I completely agree with both points.

[Caution, spoilers, duh.]

Mal and Inara: The tension is priceless, and is one of the most giggle-worth (if you giggle, otherwise chuckle like a manly mercenary with a big gun) themes in the show. NO jumping that shark! (treads won't take it anyway--Wash, what were ya thinkin'?);D

Zoe and Wash:

The whole kids thing would have been rather unworkable. Also, the most UNIQUE and AWESOME thing about this show is it's INCREDIBLE character interaction. That's very carefully balanced (and part of the intrigue of the storyline IS that of a cobbled-together piece of junk flown through space by a ragtag crew living job-to-job).

Kids would throw the first characteristic(the relationship balance) out of whack and near-destroy the second(the mood). Plus they come, (as if the TV stations give them a warranty lable)with their own set of requisite cliches.
I would do kids, but only as a last resort from flagging storyline. Which shouldn't ever happen, since this thing was/is largely character-driven.

The Simon-Kaylee baby thing? No. Absolutely not. Can you hear the incredulity in my voice?
Kaylee is already the baby on board (even considering River---isn't that odd?) There is always a place for that kind of character, granted, but I think the situation could become even more stupid than Anakin's nightmares in Episode III.
Sorry for the connection. It just occured to me.
I'm still bummed about the Star Wars prequels.

Unpopular opinion of my own:

#1
This is about Kaylee. Kaylee-ites, this shall be heresy. You are warned.
You know when you're in the kitchen and you decide to mess around with ingredients? Some of you do. What I'm talking about is mixing things that maybe sounded like a good idea, but you can't stomach it unless you hold your nose, cross your eyes, and look at it sideways? I could never reconcile the parts of Kaylee that made sense with the parts that didn't. Not that I have anything against 'complex' characters. Everybody has facets--part of the genius of the show--but as another poster put it, "horny schoolgirl" is not one of the most entertaining character possibilites.
She's just the one that seems most "out of character" of the whole crew. Her obstinate cheerfulness ALMOST makes up for it. Sadly, almost. When she's not breaking out with lines like the cantina scene.

#2
I didn't like the killing of Book for the simple reason of "why?". (Yes, and Wash, but he's already been lamented thoroughly, and his death, as the death of the cocky joker who always said 'we're all gonna die' seemed to underscore that things had really gotten a mite serious this time).

Going for a Ride.

I have to voice my opinion: Heart of Gold is actually one of my top five episodes (including War Stories, Out of Gas, Our Mrs. Reynolds, and Serenity). Being an M/I 'shipper, I love it because it brings all of Mal and Inara's emotions out. And, that twist at the end. *gasp* :D

Darksiders can keep their cookies. We have better writers.

Grrr. Argghh.

Really can't wait to see Cap'n Tightpants sing!

I respect your opinion but I feared that Heart of Gold was their "Jumping the Shark" episode.

Okay, I've read through most of this thread... Whew! I have some unpopular opinions to contribute.

1) I think the Serenity Pilot is over-rated. I like it, so don't get me wrong. My main complaint is that it is too slow and doesn't really start get interesting until the second half. I (gulp...) can see why Fox would have wanted something more action-packed and quick paced to serve as an introduction to the show.

2) I didn't like Serenity those left behind very much. It was too choppy and hard to follow. I also didn't like how the agent who was chasing Simon and River in the pilot somehow survived being shot in the head and being left on a desert planet.
