1. Wash. He ambushed me early with the dinosaur gag and I fanboyed him forevermore.
2. Simon seemed so pansy and useless early on, and then he won me over with two little words: "light it." And it truly clicked for me in that moment what it meant to be him.
3. Inara has failed to grow on me. I guess it's just the snobbery factor, or maybe that she's so closed off.
4. I hear Book doesn't get much love, but I'll make up for it, because I like when Christians are portrayed as neither flawless nor corrupt.
5. I preferred River before the movie. I still don't hate her, per se, but I sense her turning into someone flawless, able to do anything, and that kind of character just isn't interesting. Let her keep just a little bit of that lunacy and she'll keep my attention.
6. Mmm.... Kaylee... what were we talking about?
7. Wash, I think. Largely carefree, friendly, likeable, smart, talented... and has a really hot wife. Kaylee gets second place for the same reasons but she lacks the hot wife so...
8. Can I go off-ship for this? Niska needs a good thrashing...
9. Kaylee/Simon. Two great tastes that taste great together! (...that didn't sound right.)
10. Jayne/River. Just because they're both available does not make it a good idea!
