(Indulge me here).

What one question would you ask each of them?

For example, I would love to ask Zoe when she realized she was in love with Wash. Not so sure she'd answer me, but I'd love to ask

Mal: You know, you ain't quite right.
River: It's a popular theory.

Hah! You know, the minute I saw that you were the one who responded I knew you'd say that.

So, let me revise...Seeing as how everybody is so VERY real, when they stop by your house for tea and dumplings, what will you ask them?

Mal: You know, you ain't quite right.
River: It's a popular theory.

Sorry, couldn't resist

That's actually a really interesting question. I think if it were me, I'd ask Kaylee about her family. I'd love to learn more about her background, and how she became such a shiny, happy person even with all the horrible stuff that happens around her.

I would ask Jayne if we could visit his bunk

Actually I would ask him more about his family and about the dangerous situations he's gotten into over the years. I would yell at Mal to go tell Inara he loves her. I would probably give Inara a lecture about hellfire and lepers. I would also ask Mal to tell me some war stories, and I would finally ask Book about that joke he was telling everyone about something that happened at the Abbey, and also ask Simon to finish the story about the "upright" man that came into the ER. Of course I would ask Book about his past as well (duh!)

I'm not sure what I would ask them, per se, but I will say that I think Wash would be really interesting to talk to. It would be really interesting to hear the story about how he proposed to Zoe.

I would bet that Zoe "told" Wash they were getting married!

Even better, let's ask Mal what his reaction was when he found out they were getting married. Hijinks ensued, I'm sure.

I'd ask Mal: Where do I sign on? :)

Then I'd ask River if I could hug her. I'd like a few answers, Academy-wise and all. But if she really walked into my door, I think my primary impulse would be to give her something back for all she's given me. I could write her a whole book about that even. But I have a lot of Love to give. And I'm convinced I could transfer that Love to River, in one instance of warmth, in a way that would make her understand, and comprehend.

Sigh. River may not be real; my feelings for her certainly are. Sorry to bring down your thread. :( I thought replying to it would make me happier. Now I just miss River.

MAN. It's good to have you back Asarian! We missed you so darn much.

Having you back on the boards, but, um, no longer having you on this side of the pond. Does that seem right to you? Ow. That made my head hurt.

Welcome back home, in both meanings of the word.

I'm with those who want to know about the Wash/Zoe proposal. (The fact that it could've been Zoe is a good point!) Whichever one did the asking, I'd definitely want to know how it went down.

Besides that, I'd want to ask Inara if it's hard to face that the men (and women) she offers her services to are just customers. I can't imagine how hard it would be to know that you aren't dating, it's work. Doesn't she ever want to go find a guy (hint: Mal!) for herself, to actually have a relationship with?

It's hard to pick one question. They all seem like they'd just be so much fun to hang out with!

I would A) ask Mal if I could join them B) hit him over the head until he told Inara how he felt C) ask Wash where the name "Lambie toes" came from and D) ask Book about his past.

America loves a winner!

River - What is the average air speed velocity of a coconut layden swallow (African )?

Siomon - Good that you're looking out for sis and all, but why haven't you nailed the cute mechanic yet?

Jayne - Ever thought of using your powers for good ?

Wash - What is your favorite dinosaur ?

Zoe - What attracted you to a man who plays w/ plastic dinosaurs ?

Book - C'mon, what were you before you were a Shepard?

Kaylee - How many times have you.... you know.

Inara - Wanna ?

Mal - Got room for one more on your ship ?

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

Actually, I'd want to talk to Joss first before the actual characters, and my first question would be...

"You lost your faith in God because of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND?" It's just that after listening to the commentary for OiS and him telling the origins of his atheism, I thought it was weird that such a profound sci-fi flick was what clenched his belief in nothingness.

As for your question to Zoe, I figured the same answer would be the same answer Jessica gave to Eddie Valiant about why she married Roger in WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? Pretty simple. "He makes me laugh."

"There's only one "Return" ok, and it ain't "of the King", it's "of the Jedi."

"Maybe we should start calling your friend 'Padme' because he loves 'Mannequin Skywalker' so much, Right? (imitating robot) Danger...danger...my name is Anakin...my shitty acting is ruining saga."

Knowing the big dork I am, I would probably ask a million and one questions about the 'verse. How does the companion guid work and what are their politices? How is education ont he Core, on the rim? What is the ordor of Shepherds like? Does the "meditating at a rock" line mena that it is a christian/buddhist faith
? Politics, how do they were in the 26th century? etc.

And then maybe a few fun ones like...

MAL: "What did you dream of being before the war?"

Zoe: "How did you know you loved Wash?"

Wash: "What was your home planet? What were you doing during the war?"

Book: "Okay, really, what did you do?" (because what other question can you ask book?)

Kaylee: "Please, tell me your stories."

River: "Could you read my mind and tell me something about myself that I don't know?"

Simon: "I know that leaving your home is angsty, but can you just stop resisting, fall in love with Serenity, and hook up with Kaylee already?"

Inara: "What is in the black vial? Why did you leave Sihnon? Did you really have to leave Serenity?"

Jayne: "What do you think of everyone?"

I love your River question. lol Nice one!

Your Book and Simon questions are good, too.

As for Zoe's question... you say that like it's a bad thing (playing with dinosaurs). ;)

Good point.

I'm having this sudden vision of Wash being dragged to the altar by Zoe, who in a wedding dress and combat boots, and a gun strapped to her hip.

Someone wrote a fabulous line about that - something like 'I survived the courtship, and she decided to keep me.' I cannot remember who, but I could just picture Wash saying it.

I don't know what I'd ask Wash, but talking to him would be wonderful. Wit and self-deprecation are pretty much my two qualifiers for 'cool'.
