dangermousieBecause I am compulsive about lists. Mind you, this is only after seeing 4 eps, so this can clearly change.
From most to least:
Love:
1. Mal: He is the main character and I am so predictable. I am a sucker for the angsty funny leader guy. If he is hot and has forbiden feelings for a chick? All the better.
2. Jayne: Because no one else on this show makes me laugh the way he does. That, and he is an unusual scifi character. Sort of like Rygel and D’Argo’s bastard child.
Like:
3. Inara: Hooker with a heart of gold? Cliché. Hooker with a heart of gold who is in love with a noble outlaw? Ditto (watch the lovely “Stagecoach” all the way back in 1939). Hooker who is well-bred and happy in her job, and who snarks with the best of them? My kind of gal.
4. Wash: He’s like Xander. Only capable and with a love life.
5. Kaylee: Cause she is too sweet not to like. And because I know girls like her.
Indifferent for now, but with potential:
6. Simon: He just hasn’t shown much personality so far, or any other really likeable qualities. Plus, he is responsible for the annoyance that is River. But there are potentialities there. He really reminds me of Angel’s Wesley and we know how well he turned out.
7. Zoe: She is nice and capable and a good wife and a good second in command. Just not very interesting. Well-adjusted and settled people do not make for a good drama.
8. Book: Nice guy. If I were a Christian, a great Preacher to have. But no hot angst? No sarcastic quips? No off-the-wallness? Not so much interest.
It would take a miracle:
9. River: Crazy people alert. I feel sorry for her, I do. Now if she would only shut up. The only crazy I ever liked was John Crichton. This chick is like a non-evil Baltar: a little taste goes a looooong way.
