I love Firefly so much. I can't figure out how Zoe isn't everyone's favourite.

"Take me, sir. Take me hard."

Also, observation about Trash: It's pretty much an episode where all the action is run by girls. The villain's a girl, and the girls save the day. Love. Also, YoSaffBridge is awesome.

Zoe is made of utter awesome.

I don't have a favourite when it comes to Firefly, mostly I'm in love with every character for different reasons.

*g* Pretty much the perfect ensemble, isn't it?

God, I miss that show.

She's my second favorite! And she's married to my favorite, does that count? ;)

I really need to do a rewatch of Firefly, but I've been saying that about several of my shows so who knows when I'll actually get around to doing it.

I just finished my Firefly/Serenity rewatch, and now I just want to start all over and watch it again. It pains me that there's so little of it when all I want is more more more! (F U Fox).

I SECOND THIS. THERE'S A REASON WHY I HAVE A TAG CALLED "FOX CAN GO EAT SHIT AND DIE". *ANGRY FACE*

AUGH, I know. That's why I never watch the show through from the start to the end anymore. It just makes me feel sad.

"I'd want a dress with some slink in it."

DAMN, I LOVE ZOE SO DAMN MUCH. And she and Wash are so friggin adorable together. Gahhhhhhhh.

You raise an interesting point. I'm inclined to agree that Zoe should be everybody's favorite, and yet I don't even count her as my favorite.

Maybe it's because she never had the chance for a significant story arc? Her character is so steady & consistent that you don't have any moments of growth to really identify with or admire or whatever. In the series itself, I think her biggest emotional arc is in Our Mrs. Reynolds ("Wife soup!"). Even in War Stories, when the two most important people in her life are being held hostage & tortured, she does exactly what we expect her to do: stay calm & save the day.

In Serenity, the Big Thing that happens doesn't come until the end of the movie, so you don't really get to see much of how Zoe deals with that. (Though I will say that I almost never cry at movies, and I was fine watching Serenity... right up until "She's tore up plenty, but she'll fly true.")

And I agree about Trash! That's why I snatched up this icon when I saw it: I was totally excited to see action!Kaylee.

Really, not many characters get anything resembling an arc on Firefly. Only Mal, Simon, River and maaaybe Inara and Book, if only because they leave the ship. Yet I've seen nearly every character other than Zoe cited as a favourite many times.

I like that Zoe is stoic and has the ability to always stay calm & save the day, with a wry one-liner. I like that we can see that she feels it all but she doesn't let it control her. I LOVE in 'War Stories' when she just chooses Wash before Nisska even finishes his sentence. She's such a strong, unusual female character, and I love her.

Firefly is one of the only shows where I just cannot pick a favorite....I can't do it. I love them all SO much. But that is definitely one of my favorite lines from Zoe. And yea...the girls kick ass in trash!

[subtle--sarcasm.livejournal.com]

I can never pick a favorite when it comes to this show, whether it's episodes or characters or whatever. EVERYTHING is brilliant.

Just like YoSaffBridge.

I can't figure out how Zoe isn't everyone's favourite.

Um, because everyone isn't you...

Personally I can't pick a favourite

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

This isn't so much an 'everyone isn't me!' thing as me wondering why she doesn't get much love. People tend to forget about Zoe a lot.

God, she truly IS something awesome, isn't she?
