In a Perfect World... by dingdong7

i don't ask for much. i'd just be happy with a completion of season one, for chrissakes.

i would like to live on that ship though, come to think of it. they wouldn't even have to give me my own bunk. i'd just share jayne's.

Ok in a perfect world I'd be on the ship, preferably as Jayne's love interest, mmmm I do love that boy...

But as that won't happen any where other than in my dreams, or possibly my fanfic, I would have to agree with dingdong7 I'd want a finish to season 1 and a second season set before the movie.

you know that if we fought for jayne, we'd have to fight in a mud pit or something. that's the only way we could do right by him.

In a perfect world...

Season one gets finished up. I'd imagine the episodes of Inara and Book leaving would wrench the heart right out and step on it a few times over.

Next would be a TV movie sequel to Serenity, promptly followed by a return of the show. The show then runs about three or four more seasons, gets all the loose ends tied up, then goes out with a bang.

Finally, a farewell movie to the series. Just sort of goes around to show where the characters are some time after the finale, brings them back together for this movie, then they all part ways at the end.

(And just a side-note to this last part, a few of things I can personally see happening after the big finish:
* Simon and Kaylee married, with a kid or two, and settled in some quiet town where Simon lives under an alias but still does his doctoring while Kaylee rebuilds the occasional engine.

* Jayne and River are partners in crime, doing jobs for whoever pays the highest, and nursing along a little romance of their own. Who but River can really get Jayne and understand him on deeper levels? Jayne contemplates getting his own ship and forming his own crew, so he and River work toward that goal.

* Zoe's remarried to somebody and settled down, while Mal lives within walking distance of her and her family. He's still carrying a torch for Inara, but she's gone, her life taking her in a different direction...their lives could never truly mesh...but his faith in God is restored.)

Looks like I'll have to add to what I posted earlier...

With all you girls ready to fight over who gets Jayne, then in my perfect world I would be Jayne!

Ladies ready to fight for my affections, being on a ship with the likes of Summer, Jewel, and Morenna already, having cool adventures in the meantime...Jayne's got it made!

My Bro just picked up the Serenity role-playing game last weekend, and we jokingly argued over who got to play as Jayne for the game. Hell, after reading this thread, I'd be willing to fight him to play as Jayne now!

Hey, the ladies are already willing to fight over Jayne...what say we have a duel for River? At dawn we meet...20 paces, then turn and fire...of course, if this were my perfect world and I'm Jayne already, I'd just snipe you at a distance as you stand there waiting for me to show up, using good ol' Vera!

Yeah yeah...okay. I hear you.

Just don't make a mis-step in your dance there Bro...I'd just HATE for you step down just right on the trigger and have Vera go off, the bullet ricocheting around but suddenly making a wet and squishy sound in your cranium...who would take care of little River then?

Ok I have the feeling certain people *cough LouGojira cough* think I'm shallow and only love Jayne due to his muscly prowess, not true I love his guns, his kick-ass fighting style, his cigars, ohh of course his grenades and his wonderful one-liners.

Well those facts as well as a few others I've prolbably forgotten and of course let's not forget, that he is so totally hot!

shiny,
that is a great idea! 15% is good. should we call it anything? like something "smackdown"? we could organize annual jayne mudwrestling competitions. we could train all year and then have a championship or something at a convention. do you think we could get adam baldwin to judge it?

this thread turned dirty so fast, didn't it?

i've said it before and i'll say it again; although jayne is incredibly hot (his arms are so big!) it's that fact that i wouldn't have to talk to him about my feelings in the morning that made my jayne conversion complete. i was watching firefly thinking, "he's a good-looking guy. kinda stupid, but that's ok." but it was "that's why i don't kiss 'em on the mouth" that worked for me. i don't know why, it just works.

and the big knife worked for me too.

Ohhhh You know what I think you're just great!
Maybe we should call it like "Jaynefest" or something and then we could make it a whole carnival of Jayne-related activities!
And the wrestling could be the highlight! I'm sure Adam would judge, maybe Joss would let him dig Vera out of the prop box and we can have that as a trophy??

mmmm Jayne and Vera- I think my brain would overload.

I have to admit he had me at the non-emotional involvement too. I agree with the knife, even if I am more of a gun girl, and the non kissing on the mouth, it's so simple and straight down the line. I am a true sucker for a bad-boy, even though I don't think he's really bad just misunderstood

Okay...let me reiterate my original statement then. I like Jayne for the same reasons you ladies do...all except for the carnal stuff. Heck, even Zoe's a tad too butch for me (I'm more a River or Kaylee man), so Jayne doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of me finding him "hot". *lol*

I do however find it interesting and pretty dang cool that you ladies like Jayne for his being a "take no crap", "rough around the edges" kind of guy. It's those attributes that made me think for so long that he was a character meant to appeal to the guys...that is, he gets away with doing and saying things and behaving in ways us guys can only wish we could get away with sometimes in the real world.

Zoe (Torres) is soooooo sexy. The leather pants ... zomg ...

Inara's pretty straight too (has that same look as Teri Hatcher from her superman TV series days), but I haven't been able to judge much of her from the neck down with all the heavy "asian-type" decorative garments.

... and ... isn't Kaylee scripted as the butch-character :o)
Of course, she doesn't have the look (other than the grime smears), but other than that, I think she's supposed to be pretty tom-boyish

To the Original Poster though, in a perfect world, I'd be watching the newest episode right after I finish this and 30 years from now they'll be able to download my brain so that I'm immortalized long enough to be on the Firefly ship. You'd all see me in Season 2 of Firefly as the sarcastic, witty Interactive Computer System (Andromeda-style)! Maybe, as the last thing I do before being destroyed, I even aided slightly in the elimination of Wash for standing in the way of my digi-lust for Zoe :oP

Zoe's one hot mama...make no mistake. Gina Torres is a very pretty lady. I'm just saying that Zoe's character is too "manly" for me to get all ga-ga over her. She did look pretty dang hot at the end of the "War Stories" episode when she was fixing Wash some soup though...her hair all down...Wash slapping her ass as they leave the room and her letting him get away with it...she stirred me then!

As for Kaylee being a tomboy, I may be in a minority, but I tend to seperate "tomboyishness" from "butch behavior". I don't see anything wrong in girls taking interest in what are predominantly guy things...such as working on mechanical stuff...and still retaining their femininity. I kinda' think Kaylee was meant to be "that girl next door" kind of character instead...not intimidating and who you can pal around with and love like a sister, and if you're not careful fall head over heels for when you realize the kind of Aphrodite she truly is, and you've been unaware of it for so long...

Didn't Jewel Staite say somewhere that she had to gain 20 lbs to better look the part?

In a perfect world...

Serenity would have never needed to be made 'cause the show would have continued into what would it be now? 4'th maybe 5'th season...? Thus there would be no need to kill off Wash and Book...The movie was AMAZING don't get me wrong, but I mean it leaves it pretty closed as far as bringing back those characters in the future if and when Firefly was to come back to TV. They could finish season one and then go into season two post Serenity as some people have suggested but I mean no wise crackin Wash? No inspirational messages? Something would be lacking and I doubt the replacements would be able to match the caliber of the original characters. What do you guys think?

And as far as I'm concerned about living on Serenity itself...yeah I'd be up for that I actually had a dream about it the other night, after I finished watching the whole first season. For anyone who cares I was makin out with Kaylee in the engine room when the ship was attacked by Reevers and I went flyin on one of those backboard things (the ones on wheels I donno what they're called) into a wall.

Then I heard Mal call for Kaylee over the intercom as Wash took evasive action...::sigh:: I woke up before I could tell if we got away or not...too short I think but exciting nonetheless.

Anyway yeah that dream woulda been real in a perfect world.

-Dan

Zoe: Planet's coming up a might fast.
Wash: Just means I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all.
Mal: That happens, let me know

i didn't even think of him as the "bad boy" type. how funny that my brain shorted out like that. *lol* i just thought, "ok, if you're on Serenity, in space, for that amount of time, emotional attachments would just suck." what if you got in a fight? what if someone's feelings got hurt?
jayne just doesn't seem like he'd care if he were used. and he would be. a lot.

is it bad that i don't care if he's misunderstood or understood? i'm a bad girl, i really am.

you're fun, shiny. i think there should be a jaynefest smackdown. that'd be awesome.

i agree about kaylee, she is a grease-smudged beauty. but if i could pick a girl on serenity, it would so be zoe. and it's possible that it's because of her "take charge" qualities. and she's hot. but i'd have a better chance with inara, now wouldn't i?

No I'm a Kaylee fan all the way- she and I are sorta similar in the way that she is so open about sex and her sexuality etc.. It's like she doesn't even realise she could make other people uncomforatble, I'm the same.
