this is my 1rst time posting on this sight..I just have to say that I loved Firefly from the 1rst time it aired and I was pissed when fox cancelled it..not that I was surprised Fox has a habit of cancelling great shows

I was thrilled to say the least when I saw FireFly on DVD I didn't hesitate to buy it

from the 1rst I was intrigued with River and Simon for me they are the real love story on FireFly...I know they are brother and sister..and no I'm not talking about a sexual love..for me their love is so pure and so innocent..Simon and River have a bond that can't be broken..and I hope that if they put the show back on that this will be explored more

for me or at least as I conceive from what Joss W gave us..Simon and River have a great love..the kind of love that words can't do justice

Simon and River are soul mates...thats the only way I can do it justice with words

I know Kaylee has this crush on simon and I do think simon really really likes her..but I don't think he will ever love anyone as much as he loves River..nor will River ever love anyone as much as she loves Simon....

I can see this being a real problem for both when they try( probably without much success) to embark on more intimate relationship with others....unless the other person doesn't mind coming 2nd

anyway I hope hope to see Joss explore River and Simons great love more

Is it just me or does Jayne seem to have a little crush on Zoey

anyway I would love to hear what others think about this topic

I think Jayne has "a little crush" on most women. :)

This is relevant to your sentiment, I swear. It's a scene from a fic of mine that will never get written, apparently. I figure, since its just a blurb, I'll risk the ire of the masses and sitck it here.

“Shh, we mustn’t wake them. I believe he was up all night with her,” Book said quietly to Kaylee as they stood in the doorway to the common room. Simon and River lay sleeping on the modestly uncomfortable couch. Simon slept on his side, facing out, and River on her side, facing her brother, one frail-looking hand clutching his shirt. His arm was across her out of an automatic and instinctive need to protect her. Even as they slept, the grown Tam children clung to each other.

“Wow. That’s so beautiful,” Kaylee whispered.

“Love, in such pure examples, is always beautiful. God is love, Kaylee.”

Kaylee smiled warmly, "I understand that now, Shephard."

Welcome to the board PirateJenny. We are glad to have you w/ us. It is always great to greet a new fan to the family.

Your insight into Simon & River's relationship is very accurate in my opinion. I think that they love each other very much, as is evident by Simon's giving up his career, his life, his very dreams to rescue his sister and keep her safe from harm. Look at his actions in Serenity when he dives off the catwalk to tackle Dobson to keep him from taking River. Simon can be a bit pompous at times, but he will not hesitate to put himself in harm's way to keep River safe.

The love they share is strong. They are more than brother and sister, they are friends. Sure they have the crew of Serenity, but when it boils right down to it, all they have in the 'verse is each other.

"May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."

Yes, welcome to the site!

Even more than Simon's fight with Dobson, it was Simon vs Early that really impressed me. Even AFTER he was shot, he came back for another try and got his butt kicked again.

It's easy to view Simon as a wimp, based on his speech, his dress, & the way Dobson & Stitch beat him like a cheap rug. But when he steps from his room in OIS, the guy's carryin' a full 6 pack. He didn't pick that up @the 7-11.

its easy to take simon for a whimp..because he's very proper...but the guy is as brave as they come espeically when it comes to River...if anyone tries to hurt her..Simon doesn't even have to think .. he just goes off...but he is a thinker..River inspires him ..with her he both strong and vulnerable its a winning combination

I do love the scene in objects in the Sky when goes after Early

Simon can take a licking and still come back kicking!!

I've got some fics posted here, but they're not ...um, "nice", like that one. In fact, 2 out of 3 are pornographic. Not that that's a bad thing; I'm just letting you know. If you dig on drama, though, try my story "Glory, in the Dead of Night," http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=1634 A more shameless plug, there never was.

Did you watch the commentary on 'Serenity'? I just watched it today, and both Nathan and Joss say exactly the same thing about the relationship between River and Simon.

Also, welcome to this site!
