Hmm, I think you missed one too. Someone who got one vote. *cough* Someone who now has a groupie thanks to this thread...*coughcough*

Oh and my friend doesn't have a computer, his wife thinks it'll make him spend less time with her (she could be right there) but I won't vote on his behalf because that'd just be wrong.

Great now I have the Eddie Izard "Strong Personality" thing in my head for saying that. Oh well.

Hi all,

its Jayne, if we are talking about a hot one-night-stand and its definitely Mal if its about Love and Trust. So what was this thread about?

Ladywise there is only one: Inara! I really like Kaylee and River, but I don't see them as sex symbols, they are just too sisterly for me, I guess. But Inara is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen - so much grace... I usually tend towards males, but for Inara I am sure I would make an exception

It's a casual poll about who is your favorite character or actor. So, if you had to choose between one, would it be Jayne or Mal?

Yep, that's the way it should look. Well, except for the whole Mal being #1 thing, that should be Gunhand, followed by Jayne.

Not gonna comment on the Saffron, gag! bit though...~zips lip before saying something highly inappropriate~

WHEDONESQUE

This post has been up for how long? And I still haven't voted!?! Does that seem right to you?

Actually, I am having a very, VERY difficult time picking favorites. To tell the truth, I have looked at this post everyday, read everyone else's responses, thought, considered, pondered ... and then given up and said nothing. Why is this so hard?

Anyway, enough of my personal drama. I'm gonna make a gorram decision if it kills me.

soon...

very soon...

now!

Well, for the women I would pick Inara. Beauty, brains, accomplishment. She's really got it all. I also always come out as Inara on the personality tests, so I guess that makes sense.

As for the men, that is much harder. I am not attracted to Book - never did go for older men. Adam is an attractive man, but Jayne is not a man I would ever be attracted to. I don't go for big burly men simply because they are big and burly.

Wash is definitely in the running because I love a man with a quirky, self-deprecating sense of humor. And he's cute, too. Mal is extremely attractive (and loyal, and protective, and commited to his moral code, and funny, and smart, and good in an emergency, and ...), but he is a troubled man. As I have gotten a little older, I have learned to avoid these more 'complicated' men (see, I think I've grown).

So, I guess that brings me to Simon. I have always been attracted to the 'intellectual type'. A man's brain can be SO sexy! Also, I am a critical care nurse, so I was really struck by the scene where he tells Jayne that he will always be safe on his table. It was the right thing to do/say, and Simon obviously takes his responsibility as a doctor very seriously. I know how hard it sometimes is to separate one's personal feeling from one's professional responsibilities (I have literally taken care of critically ill murderers), and he really gained my respect there. Physically, I think Simon is perfect. Some may consider him a bit on the thin side, but I like a man who is well-defined without all the bulk (Thank you, Joss, for the totally unnecessary beefcake in OiS!). As for his way with women, I have to admit that his ' only woman in the 'verse' comment to Kaylee was just beyond stupid. Aside from that, though, I find a little akwardness endearing. I mean, you KNOW a guy really likes you if he gets nervous talking to you. Last but not least, I think Simon has - even in the very short run of this amazing show - started to realize what a privileged and sheltered life he has led. Every time I see OiS, I am stuck by how different this Simon is to the Simon we see in the first few episodes. He is brave in the face of danger, more self-assured, and not easily intimidated by Jubal Early. Yeah, he's gonna make many more mistakes in the future (!!), but he is learning and growing right before our eyes. And I find a man who can learn from his mistakes very attractive indeed!

Anyway, I finally did it - I made a decision!

Whedonesque,

Congrats on finally making a decision -- I went through a lot of the same thinking you did and got to the same conclusion.

One thing I don't think has been mentioned about Mal (and what finally made me cast my vote for Simon) is that I wouldn't like to have to try to come between him and his ship. I think you'd be permenantly set up as a second choice, which is one of the things that I love about Mal, but it would be hard to deal in real life.

Of course, Simon's got that whole devoted-his-life-to-his-sister thing going on, but surely she'll get better soon, right?

sorry Zoriah, but i have to go the opposite way and put in my vote for the Doc. Jayne is handsome and built and from what i've read, Adam Baldwin's a great guy, but i don't like bullies. i know he's grown a bit, but Jayne's still a bully and i can't get past that to liking him.

I love that Simon is so sweet and so caring. i will leave my ramblings about how he feels about Kaylee for the other thread. Simon is cute and cut and i love that!

Wash is a close second, but, as much as i love goofy guys, i need someone a bit more... hmm.. i was going to say tortured, but i need to ammend that... angsty, i guess? Not Mal angsty -- that's a bit too much. i'm babbling now. i need to stop.

I can't decide on the women right now. Inara is beauty and elegance. Kaylee is chipper and sweet. Zoe is strong and self-possesed. River is.. well... River. She is strength and weakness. Summer Glau is a phenomenal actress.

I'm withholding my vote for my fff (favorite firefly female) for now. i'll let you know if i can make up my mind.

Whose clothes do you want to rip off? At least, that's more fun. I have a Wash at home already, but I don't have a Jayne. Wow. I just thought of how much fun that could be. Wash AND Jayne... Some place with candle light...

But then it would probably turn into Wash running around the room, making sarcastic comments while Jayne threatens him. So maybe Wash in the livingroom, Jayne in the bedroom?

I'm not changing my vote, I'm just speculating. And making nice movies in my head.

BEASTLYSPIKE

I think that Jayne is the best over all charactor, he has perfect comic timing, great facial expressions. Adam is the perfect candidate for palying Jayne. I can't think of anyone who could play it better.

Mal, annoys me at times,

there are times I just want to hit him (then again I feel that way about most men), but every now and then he has this fantastic scene like the one between him and Jayne in Arial.

Book, is an enigma, so naturally I am drawn to his charactor.

Wash, is just light entertainment.

As for the women.....

Inara annoys me

Kaylees great, reminds me of me, except I don't hanker for girlie stuff.

River is nuts therefore is fantastic

Zoe, my role model. She's independant, sexy, if I could be anyone I would want to be her.

Thank you. It's always nice to find people who appreciate my sense of humor -- not everyone does.

Seriously, though, if you haven't watched Buffy and Angel you should at least give them a try. Take them in order -- you can find all sorts of advice on these boards about how to tackle the overlapping seasons -- and enjoy.

I already voted, so I didn't think it was fair to count me twice. If I could have my way, they'd all line up shirtless and entertain me. But I voted for Jayne originally. I stand by that choice.

Actually, I think MOM needs a long soak in the hot tub with Jayne and a bottle of wine. Followed by a full body massage, administered by Jayne, of course.
