The sibling situation is an interesting one. I love the idea that Wash has a twin def. would have to be more sucessful.

Zoe I def. think she is an only child. I can't decide whether her mother wanted her or didn't. There is def. some conflict there. But I love the fact that on the issue of children it is she who is pushing for children when it would have been so easy to have done it the other way.

Jayne I love the idea that he has other siblings at least three other brothers - that would account for the fighting but also I like the idea that at least one of them died as a result of a barfight. But I see a picture of him being a godfather or "uncle" to this really hot blond haired blue eyed girl who if they were not related something could happen and he is really really protective over her, and doesn't want to know that she is sexually active(love the idea of a doublestandard and the idea of something making Jayne blush!). But he doesn't make friends well that are long lasting and close so that theory is a bit thin.

Mal he had to have had a younger sister hence the whole Kaylee thing, but one that was killed by the Alliance's neglect. Either they flattened his home and community to make way for something for some bigwig or vital supplies were diverted so the ordinary people suffered and died.

Inara for the life of me I can not see. Either for some reason a bitter (Miss Haversham type) mother sent her to become a companion or she is doing this as a way to avoid becoming like her mother i.e. not to be used etc and finds she likes it...

Kaylee might be the only girl of a brood of guys. All she has to connect to them is the whole machine thing and the sex is a release. So her leaving might actually mean one less mouth to feed.

Just a wild one but I like the idea that Mrs Tam miscarried at least one child between River and Simon and for some reason Simon has forgotten about that dreadful time.

Okay, fair enough! So... does that mean you'll create a sarcast-emot-icon for me to use? I'd promise to use it wisely and not abuse it.

Hell's Kitten - totally unrelated to this thread, but I noticed another FFF.net thread where you posted some pics of some VERY nice Jayne shirts you were working on. The response was amazing (maybe a bit overwhelming?) but I didn't see anything from you as to whether you were going to be able to make them available. I know Alex of bluesunshirts.com said he would be happy to provide any assistance as he's a huge fan, loves your designs and just wants to see as much Firefly "stuff" walking around as possible. He also happens to be a commercial printer. I have 2 of his shirts and can vouch for the quality as many others can on this board. Just curious - I'll go back to minding my own business now.

(Yeah, okay, it was a bit overwhelming.) I'm still working on it, though, I promise. I've just been overly busy with this real-life thing I've been fiddling with over the years. Kinda sometimes gets in the way. For anyone interested who hasn't seen the thread, here's the link:

The more days that go by without me getting my shirts, the more I consider working with that seemingly nice Alex fellow from bluesunshirts.com.

Now, who was Jayne Cobb named after? (This is actually in one of the writers drafts. Kinda neat trivia, if you like trivia.)

Ummm... Mansfield? Guess if that's foreshadowing, then Jayne'll be losing his tater, too.

Interesting guess. Didn't think of that myself. And, though I'm not sure what a 'tater' is, unless it's a wig and Jayne wears one, I doubt he'll be losing it.

Ben Edlund gave Jayne the last name "Cobb" - and I'm quoting him from the 09/04/02 writer's draft - "...because it's the last name of the orneriest baseball-playin' motherf*cker in the history of the sport. There's nothing more American than baseball, and there's no one more American than Jayne." Completely useless trivia, but there ya go.
