“Wash is an absolute contrast to Zoe, yet a perfect mate for her. Rather than playing out every little romance in its infancy the way shows usually do, I thought it would be nice to show a happily married couple, who would have their fights and their troubles, but would stay married. That was actually one of the sticking points when I sold the show. The last thing that Fox said was, “We will pick up the show, but they can’t be married.” And I said, “Then don’t pick up the show, because in my show, these people are married. And it’s important to the show.” - Joss Whedon, Serenity: The Official Visual Companion

Wash and Zoe. Are. My. Favourite.

You could capture Zoe in a cool aside, Kaylee in an exclamation, but Inara lived in the pauses.

-Jane Espenson ‘Finding Serenity: Anti-heroes, Lost Shepherds and Space Hookers in Joss Whedon’s Firefly’

I love Kaylee. I will forever love Kaylee. This. This right here? She’s in her cake dress, looking fab. What is she doing? She’s talking business. It makes you wonder how the conversation started. She was probably oogling the buffet table and heard the conversation about the 80-04 and just had to interject. Now everyone in that area are listening, respecting the 20something girl in a pink dress talk about mechanics and they KNOW she is competent. The way the older gentleman tells the young man to wait. She doesn’t seemed bothered that she might have to wait to dance. She’s in her element, talking about ships.

… Apparently I have a lot of Kaylee feelings today. OH WELL.

I just gotta ask my folks. Don’t leave without me.

River Tam Appreciation Post 
“I am very smart. I went to the best Medacad in Osiris, top three percent of my class, finished my internship in eight months. ‘Gifted’ is the term. So when I tell you that my little sister makes me look like an idiot child, I want you to understand my full meaning. River was more than gifted. She… she was a gift. Everything she did, music, math, theoretical physics - even-even dance - there was nothing that didn’t come as naturally to her as breathing does to us. She could be a real brat about it, too. I mean, she used to…”

You can’t take the sky from meeeee!
