You guys should finish it. I want to read it.
There's also the waking me up on Saturday mornings to talk about Firefly. It's like my Saturday alarm clock. And of course, all you cared about was that Zoe and Wash scene.

Why does everybody assume wash is weak? Was there a scene where he got his butt kicked? I thought he was just a funny guy, but not weak.

I love Wash and Zoe together. Really, I do. When they have their clothes on.
I had to look away during the "afterglow" scene. It was embarassing, like walking in on your parents doing it. They're the grown-ups on the ship, they aren't supposed to be doing it. 
Oddly enough, I still think they have good chemistry and can't wait to see an ep centered on them.

Not weak but weaker, comparatively. He just doesn't have a confrontational personality type.

I didn't find that scene embarassing! I think it would be odd if they didn't ever show them together...

Personally, I think he's one of those "hidden steel" type people -- you can push them so far, but at a certain point (and usually without warning) they just...stop, and no force on earth can move them. Except for things like captains, as seen in Out of Gas. (sorry if that spoiled any).

Not so much "weak," I see it, as "less aggressive." And Zoe did say they fight with each other sometimes. Anybody here read ElfQuest? Remember Redlance and Nightfall?

Personally, I think that Wash is just as strong in character as Zoe, just in a different way. Yes, Zoe could kill him with her little pinky if she wished, and Wash thinks that's Sexy as hell. But if you've seen Serentiy--or read the script like me--you know that when you put Wash behind the yoke, he's badass.

I love Zoe and Wash together. Like Queen Tiye, I was a bit put off by Wash at first. It took me a couple of episodes to warm up to him, and now I love him.
And I love Zoe and Walsh because they ARE opposites. I'd love to know how they went from "he bothers me" to marriage, as well.
I know real-life couples who are polar opposites like Zoe and Wash who have excellent relationships.
The afterglow scene both delighted and bugged me. Someone should tell Gina not to do heavy nasal breathing. It began to get on my nerves after the 4th or 5th time. Other than that, I always enjoy Zoe and Wash's scenes together.

Not much romantic chemistry between Zoe and Wash?!!
Well....DUH! They're MARRIED! Ever been married? Well...I haven't, but for anyone who's not a fool, it takes a lot more than chemistry to make a marriage. Zoe doesn't strike me as the "chemical" type anyway. She is a soldier after all. Doesn't mean she doesn't have a heart, but she wouldn't fall head over heels. A lot of the passionate soap-opera steamy relationships we see on TV are nothing more than psychological pornography.
I'll take a trusting, loving woman with a big gun ANY day!
I know a lot of people don't like Wash...but hey, niether did Zoe (apologies if that was a spoiler).
