All of Book's preaching so far has been either unfunny "witticisms" ("...and people who talk in movie theatres") or totally unconvincing fluff ("faith fixes you").

Hee! But in fairness to Book its not exactly like there are very many people on that ship who are open to anything he might be able to teach them about faith. Mal's downright hostile towards the idea and no one else seems terribly interested.

Wash. No doubt. Wash. The embodiment of Jossian humor!

Then Jayne, the man they call Jayne! (Our love for him now ain't hard to explain...)

Finally River. Funny, and am I the only one who thinks she's sexy as hell? (Something about the bags under the eyes. Seriously.)

See? this all just shows how great Firefly is! Even though we all have our personal opinions about characters, they're all good! Other sci-fi shows, there have always been a few characters who kinda bore me, but Firefly has 9 characters with a lot of potential. I love 'em all, but of course, Wash IS the best.

I'm giving my firefly tape to a friend to try to get her hooked, so i had to go through tonight and watch EVERY Wash scene so i could get my fix. I won't be seein' it again til at least Thursday, if not Friday. *sigh* LIfe is so difficult!

I was just watching the Train Job last night and I have decided I also really like Niska. He just such a happy old evil crimelord. He seems too really enjoy his job... thinks it is fun. He has this mannerism that reminds me of some really nice old dutch people I have met.

And he has a smile that makes him look like he wants to eat you.....yes?

Favorite character, hmm?

1. Jayne, 2. Jayne, 3. Jayne (You didn't see that coming, huh?) "Chain of command", Vera, chest hair... What's not to love?

Next is Mal. Captain Tight Pants. Throws bad guys into engines and returns medicine to sick people.
Then there's Inara. Yeah, she gets a little silly when it comes to Mal, but she's got backbone. I wouldn't want to cross her.
I love Zoe and Wash and I want to know how they ended up together. It's great that Kaylee is the mechanic. I'm curious about Book and why he's on board.
I didn't like Simon and River at first, but I do now. River's gotten more normal and Simon showed a lot of nerve in "Jaynestown". He got beat up anyway, but he showed nerve.

P.S. - Is it just me, or does anybody else want to know everyone's last name?

Book has definitely become my favorite character. Especially after the "Mrs. Reynolds" episode. I have an impression that his back story may provide the best stories of the series.

Other than any episode that has a story about the return of Saffron Reynolds

The whole show's about Mal for me. I want him and I want to be him at the same time- his resignation to death alone on his ship made my stomach churn.

1. Mal. For his wit, his grace, and his devotion to fair-play. This is a man-of-action who is truly and deeply conflicted. Sort of like Robin Hood meets Han Solo.

2. Inara. For her beauty and dignity. Expressive eyes, full lips; my oh my, what a smile this lady has.

3. Jayne. Good to finally have a regular on a show like this who is honestly and openly in it for himself. He's like capitalism incarnate. Its especially gratifying when his self-interested behavior benefits the rest of the crew. Not everyone has the altruism gene in spades.

I know this is maybe strange, but my favorite is by far River. I have no idea why, I just love how she's crazy but she knows so much. Not just about math or science but about things and people. Ex-in Out of Gas she said "Fire" and then that fire came through the doors. I just sat there going. "She knew it before it happened. Cool!"

My second is a tie between Wash and Jayne. I love Wash because, as someone said, he is Joss-funny. He's the perfect example of what Joss finds funny. And Jayne because he's a big/angry/soft teddy bear. I also have a feeling that he'd be protective of people he cares about. (Mostly the girls of Firefly. Well, maybe not Zoe, she could most likely kick his ass.)

And for some reason my third is another tie between Simon and Book. I like how Simon is so sweet and caring toward his sister and how he started to really show some backbone in Jaynestown. And Book is just cool. He's the older and wiser guy in the group. He's like thier Giles. Only not.

Nope - it's not just you. And I went looking, too.

So far:

Malcolm Reynolds
Jayne Cobb
River and Simon Tam

And that's all, folks! :D
