It's the "two different worlds" problem I can't get over. There's a moment in the musical "Follies" where Phyllis points out to her husband the flaw in his plan to dump her for his old girlfriend Sally: "All your friends will just love her and her little tap shoes."

Am I the only person here who saw "Dharma & Greg"?

How would I bring Simon and Kaylee together?

Enthusiastically, and as often as possible. May they bring their unique individualities together and create something bigger than the 'verse itself.

I think Simon's definition of "successful doctor" needs to change. Yeah, he's from the Core, he trained there with the best medical equipment the Alliance has to offer --but at some point he's gonna realize that he could do some serious good out on the rim.

Maybe when all's said and done, and the "River issue" resulved, Serenity'll become a sort of poor-man's hospital ship, travelling around the 'verse and giving cheap (and competent --having them both is the kicker) medical service to them as wouldn't otherwise have it.

ooo...great question. i've got this all figured out already. i see simon spending an increasing amount of time with inara, just because she's so much easier to talk to. as this happens, kaylee observes and becomes more and more jealous. finally i see it all coming down to one day simon asking inara for advice on how to let kaylee know how he really feels about her. kaylee walks in on the situation, totally misreads it, and throws a fit, storming out. simon chases after her, starts to stutter and explain, then just gives up and plants a big kiss on her.

as a person in a "different world" reltionship, it's freakin' hard to maintain! And it takes forever to get to the relationship part. They may get there, and I hope they do, but it'll take some time. I see it developing slowly, with more fumbles. Maybe with a scene like ATREYU said.

Simon is not a rusher, Kaylee is a doer. if Kaylee was in danger or on his table again, well, he would say some things to her. Otherwise, he's going to keep chipping away at her until she understandds that he really does like her as much as she likes him.

Darma and Greg is like a mirror with pretty people and a decorator and a script and differnt jobs and a camera...

Also from "Follies":

It is obvious that Simon is either too shy or too inexperienced to make a move on Kaylee, especially if he opens his mouth to try to say something smart and only stupid things fall out.

I think it will be up to Kaylee to make the first move, and it will happen after she thinks he is dead & he turns up in one piece, or he is wounded badly and recovers w/ her at his bedside.

I like Spuffy a lot, so I can't say that the move from UST to pairing is inevitably dismal for a series...but Serenity is not The Love Boat, and many of these Kaylee/Simon scenarios don't sound to me like good news for the hypothetical development of Firefly.

There's always an intrinsic problem with the 'will they won't they' relationship, because it gathers momentum constantly and eventually you've got to bring it to a head. I think this might be too much for the movie to handle, it'll only be two hours, it would be like having them get together over two episodes.

Maybe it's better to leave it as a Mulder and Scully type thing rather than a Ross and Rachel?

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

If everyone gets their wish and there are sequels, Simon and Kaylee will probably get togther during the end of sequel 2 or during sequel 3, if they get together at all.

I agree with people who say that this relationship will happen slowly, if it happens at all. In the meantime, there will be a lot more scenes where Kaylee pursues and Simon and Simon pulls back from her or puts his foot in his mouth.

When/if they do get together in the movies, the drama should be interesting to watch.
