Ok, I've tried to ask this before and people get all defensive and think I'm trying to start a fight, but I would really like to know.

It's no secret I definitely prefer cannon pairings, but, the curiosity is just killing me, hence the reason I'm asking this question.

Is there something I missed in the episodes or the movie that gives anyone any indication that Kaylee and Jayne would be a couple? If there is, someone please point it out to me?

Or is it just something fans would like to see?

Nothing wrong with it, as everyone has their interests, I'm just curious.

And, for gods sakes, I'm not trying to start some kind of war here so please keep responses civil. Besides, point me to something that indicates there is a possibility, maybe ya can turn my opinion :)

Hey Leiasky!

I'm not strongly opinionated on this, since Mal/Inara is my fave, but I do like Jaylee just because I think there is depth in Jayne that only a really pure, happy soul like Kaylee could get to. And I do see her being attracted to him because once she finds the softer, squishier side of him he would be absolutely devoted to her.

For me, I just like Jayne as a character more than Simon, and I want to see him developed romantically. But there's no one else who partners him well.

Maybe River could have, eventually, in like the 6th or 7th season, when she got much older. Over the long haul, she'd sneak in under his defenses. But since we don't get all those seasons, Kaylee is the best option.

Don't get me wrong, I got nothing against S/K!!

while i don't believe there was anything solid there, there was definately potential. but it's all the way you interpret it. Jayne could have only cared for Kaylee as a little sister type, but those feeling could have also easily evolved. You can tell in the series that he is protective of her. and they do tease around with each other. Like in Bushwhacked where they're playing ball at the beginning and Jayne jokes to Kaylee saying, "Little Kaylee is always one man short." and then Kaylee playfully punches him. There are all sorts of little things here and there. Nothing that ever really once shows that the two have sexual feelings for each other, but they definately could have turned to that in my opinion. and like the other poster said, I think Kaylee could have tapped into Jayne's sweet side, and once she did that, Jayne would probably be real sweet to her and protective of her. a bit of a brute at times, but really always having good intentions towards her in mind.

There is sign of "other than sisterly" feelings in the BDM... the part where Kaylee is complanin' that there hadn't been anything betwixt her nethers what were't run on batteries. Mal says, "Oh god. I can't know that!" Jayne snickers and says, "I could stand to hear a little more."

He's being a pig, but interest is interest.

I don't see it, but Kaylee and River, that is so much better, on so many different lvls.

Keep it in the family!

AM I NOT MERCIFUL?!?!?!?

The most significant thing I've seen is in Serenity (the TV show episode not the BDM). When Kaylee is shot Jayne is ready to rip that fed's head off and almost gets into it with Book over it.

Later when Simon is operating on her you see a shot of Jayne looking into the infirmary looking extremely concerned, rocking back and forth.

I think he cares quite a bit about her.

Yeah, and I think in the commentary Joss says something about him having a little crush on Kaylee. I'm not certain but I think that's what he says.

I'm not the biggest fan of Jaylees, but I do like the idea of unlikely pairings. The only reason I don't see Jayne and Kaylee working is that they seem too much like the cute little sister/annoying older brother. However, there are some scenes in the series and BDM that might point to a Jaylee pairing, the most obvious being when Kaylee is referring to her nethers in the Maidenhead.

At last.

There is definitely emotion between them... His concern for her is more obvious than he would admit. It's more of a little sister/big brother thing, though I think.

The whole Jaylee premise stems primarily from Joss's commentary on the Pilot eps - that Jayne has a crush on Kaylee. This is combined with the scene at the dining table, where he is jealous of her obvious attraction to Simon (and blurts out the infamous 'gynaecologist' remark), and the scene of him crouched by the window watching her operation. He was very concerned about her, and REALLY wanted Dobson dead (notice his brooding during Simon's speech about River, and his grin when Mal finally does shoot the Fed).

Many Jaylee fans are of the belief that had the show continued to air, Joss would have expanded on that crush and used it to play up a Kaylee/Simon/Jayne triangle. He's known for doing things like that on his other shows, especially as a catalyst for further tension. For example, Jayne's betrayal of the Tams at Ariel could be used against him by Simon - and that's only one possible storyline.

I'm a definite Jaylee fan, and I treat it as a canon pairing.
