dangermousieAm now in the middle of the 5th episode ("Shindig") which is
a. hilarious (Kaylee's horrid ruffled dress! River's insult of Badger etc)
b. Made me a lifelong Mal/Inara shipper. The whole "we'll die before we'll admit our feelings" thing? I am a sucker for it. When he rather incoherently tries to tell her not to take up the guy's offer? Awwwww. And he is totally jealous earlier and shows off for her like a little boy. *dies from the awwwww*
I find it rather interesting that hookers are held in such high regard in this society (a la ancient Greece or Japan), but Mal is really anti-it. I guess he isn't much for society dictates. He's pretty straightforward and if he thinks it's wrong, he thinks it's wrong, and the fact that society thinks it's OK isn't going to change his mind. I love the whole fact that he hit whats-his-name for calling Inara a whore, but he does it on a regular basis (as she points out). I guess it's because he really likes her and can't deal with her profession. I am a sucker for UST and angst potential. Wash/Zoe? Sweet and happy and funny. But there is no angst or development potential, so not much interest in that ship, I am afraid.
Also, I love how it has little normal things, like billiard balls or saloon windows, but in a futuristic fashion (balls are electronic, window looks like a force-type installation). Yay.
Oh, and on another Mal note, I really do think he was most suited to be in the rebel military, because he is an idealist, but now he can't do it any more, but I think it really doesn't fit him to be a decent guy in a crook profession because he doesn't want to settle in society.
My Kaylee love continues (her ball enthusiasm and awful dress? Love). And so does my love for Jayne. My feeling that Simon is really into his sis and Book indifference? Ditto.
I think I need some Firefly icons.
ETA: Finished now. How much did I love Inara offering to stay with Mr. Starchypants exclusively (and I assume forever) if only he'd let Mal live. And of course, when Mal does defeat the guy and says "a great man would just let you live" and then pokes him a few times with his sword, wounding him and says "I guess I am only a good man." ROFL. And then the tag with Mal and Inara sitting there, with all that chemistry and he keeps trying to show her where he was wounded and she tells him she would have never left the ship and he gets all intense-looking and she says it's because she needs to keep Kaylee out of trouble and would never want to leave Serenity, and you know that is not what she is talking about and OMG I am all about the fucked-up Inara/Mal love. Kiss already people.Or at least have Lee/Kara type fantasy sex.
