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

In the Dark Ages, Romano-Celtic Britannia was over-run by Viking-like cultures collectively called the Anglo-Saxons. They were led by warlords called Drytinns, and the greatest warriors among them were the Thegns.

I like Mal best, because I never could resist a wounded heart, and besides he has a good sense of humor. I think Wash and Zoe tie for second place. Established love is so cute.
BTW, is it just me, or does Mal's old rebel outfit remind anyone else of Battlestar Galactica?

It's easy to tell who my favorite character is. Hell, I have a website dedicated to him. It's got to be Mal.
He's a true anti-hero. He's no superhero (although, those tight pants might constitute enough symbolism to be thought of as tights.. hehe), but he's got a quick mind -- both in situations that require a solution, but also in his speech. He's quick-witted. He's also generally a kind soul, but with a mysterious and possibly dark background. He doesn't shroud himself in secrecy, but he also don't open up too much either. It's great for the intrigue and suspense, but also plots involving his character. And, being the captain-- one of high status-- who is also sort of a "commoner," he effects everyone.
Mal doesn't have a 'side.' He's neither good nor bad, and as I saw as one of the random quotes at the top of this site, Nathan said Mal would kill someone if he had to. That takes a lot of courage and a strong soul to do that, and that's what makes a great leader, among other things. He has close companions (no, not like Inara, but she's part of his "inner circle" as well), but when it comes time for him to do his captain-y things, boy does he do them. Especially, for example: "Out of Gas."
And, being the female that I am... come on, the man is gorgeous!

Robin Hood meets Han Solo... good comparison. :)
My faves:
1) Mal - cute, noble, heroic, selfless, cute...
2) Jayne - funny, rough, rude, raw...
3) Book - he is like the fatherly figure
4) Wash & Zoe - great team
5) Kaylee - she is different
6) Inara - they should really expand on her character
7) Simon & River - they can bring another angle to the show
8) Serenity - I hope she keeps on flying

Favorite Character: Saffron
I like the guest star characters in each episode besides the regular crew. Saffron is a great villain.

hmm, well ya probably didn't see this coming, but...Jayne! He's incredibly sexy and high-larious.
My second favorite would be Mal. He's such a cool character, and Nathan Fillion's delivery of lines consistantly cracks me up. I like him more with each episode.
Zoe's growing on me. She is written with such subtlety that it took me a few eps to realize how freaking cool she is. Her delivery is pretty awesome, too...her line "I can hurt you" to Jayne was funny as hell. Uttered by most actors, I probably wouldn't have given it a second thought, but her timing and delivery is underplayed and perfect.
Yay, Wash.
Simon's even cool. "The box-dropping man-ape gone wrong thing," hee.
The only one's I'm not digging yet are River (Frusilla) and Book. But even they could possibly grow on me.
Warrick: You didn't have to wound that man.
Mal: Yeah, I know. It was just funny.

I like Book. I so wish FOX had shown the original pilot first. He comes off so nice and actually interesting in that. You can really see how much potential the character has. Too bad he's been so misused and underused since.
Oh and all you other Jayne groupies can just line up behind me. I'll share, but I get to go first.

Jayne...by a mile. Dude is funny...plus he beat up Matt Dilon in the movie "My Bodyguard"
I'm most like his character.

Adam Baldwin didn't beat up Matt Dillon, he made that little geek-boy do it. The guy Adam beat up was that muscle-bound shaved head guy. I just saw that movie a couple days ago, it's so corny. Cracks my shit up. Adam is still quite cute in it though.
and lol @ jaynesgirlfriend. ok, we'll see.
you guys who have seen the original pilot are lucky. I heard fox is gonna play it in December, guess I'll just have to wait til then. Book, nice, interesting? The thought makes my head spin.
Warrick: You didn't have to wound that man.
Mal: Yeah, I know. It was just funny.
