No, Simon was going to tell Kaylee he is gay.

Simon had been living on Osiris for years. Yet he has only known Kaylee for just about a year. Would you be ready to forget your life long ambition after just a year with a girl? I'm not saying that Simon / Kaylee is the perfect couple. I'm just saying if they are given time they could be.

While reading everyone's posts, I thought about how Simon being stuck on Serenity impacts the chances for him to have a relationship with Kaylee. If he weren't stuck on Serenity, would he stick around to see if something develops with Kaylee? Or, as he said in the scene where they were looking at the cow fetus, does Kaylee being, in effect, the last woman on earth for Simon have something to do with their budding relationship?

I think that, in effect, Simon thinks that his relationship with Kaylee is like what "Our Mrs. Reynolds" purported to be--that is, that he'd be on the Special Hell Express if he took advantage of the naivete of someone whose feelings he does not reciprocate.

AFAIK we're short of information about STD in the 'verse. Has anyone picked up any clues? Or do we just assume they don't exist if they're not mentioned; althought that approach didn't work with AIDS.

Simon is very attracted to Kaylee. When he says the "your literally the only girl in my world" part, hes having a rush in hes mind, hes quickly trying to figure out something to say to her, while trying to avoid a silent moment as hes running out of time -> he says that. Its a joke that sounded better in hes mind. Its very typical when you try too hard to think something nice to say.

It would have been better if he just would say what he feels, but he cant because he has to rationalize things, because thats the way hes mind works. I do the same myself, so...

When hes drunk, he says what he really feels.

I think the 'you're the only girl in the world' comment was just a really clumsy compliment.

You know what men are like, they generally end up upsetting their wives and girlfriends by saying something they think is romantic but can be taken as an insult, for example...

"You're so cuddly" , "I like women with meat on them", " I prefer the natural look"

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

I think he is attracted to Kaylee but I think that the fact that she is the only person on Serenity that he can date has a part to play in his attraction. As he said before he made this you're the only woman in the world comment, everyone else on Serenity is either married, professional or closely related to him.

I also think that if he had an opportunity to return to Osiris at this point that he would take it and leave Kaylee behind. He would do it with a little saddness because he does have an attraction to her. However, I think that he would do it because being a doctor in the core is what he really wants and Kaylee wouldn't fit into his world. She's too much of a country girl and she loves being a mechanic on Serenity. There relationship only really has a chance as long as Simon is stuck there.

Also, since I'm not a writer on the show my evaluation of their relationship doesn't matter very much. If the series had continued, I think they would have gotten together eventually. Maybe they will in a movie sequel. Joss seems to like to put opposites together on this show. He has Wash and Zoe, Mal and Inara, in addition to a clumsy relationship developing between Kaylee and Simon. Perhaps, Joss likes the potential relationship conflicts in mismatched couples for his stories. A perfectly matched couple would be boring to watch after a while.
