Loving Them All

Oct 04, 2005 17:18

Every feeling I have connected with this show and this movie and the fandom etc is joy, says karabou, and she's right. I love it all. Even the characters I'm not particularly fond of, as Simon and Inara, they're part of what make the world of FireflyReading through all these fics lately, it's disappointing to see the obvious detestment the authors have ( Read more... )

Can't argue with that. He's also a total wimp and a nerd. And whiny. And... okay, without all that many redeeming qualities. And I don't actually like him.

But he does love his sister. Almost incestously, actually. No needle torture.

... Okay, but see, this really doesn't sit well with me. When is Simon a wimp? We can disregard the whole breaking River out of the Academy giving up his job and his family and his life thing if you want, because well.. that's just for River, silly devotion thing he has. He went after that Fed guy in the pilot, he offered himself to be burned on a stake, he attacked the Feds with Jayne in Ariel, he tried to rescue Mal with the others in War Stories, he fought Jubal in Objects In Space... Hell, just being a doctor takes away ones' wimpiness right there. Even Mal says that Simon's no coward.

Also, the ass thing I do not get. Yeah, he was a bit ornery in the pilot... things weren't really going his way. No, he didn't want to go wandering around in Safe. But I find it hard to believe that a JAYNE fan would consider SIMON an ass. :P

DO NOT CALL M'BOY A WIMP. Them's fightin' words.

I read this interesting thread a couple days back that mentioned that since they toned down Jayne's crudeness in the film, it seems like his charm went down along with it.

I would say more about Simon, but I don't care enough to get into a debate about it. Sorry, he's just not my thing.

*ignores the Simon hate!*

I totally agree, and you know, that reminds me of way back when I was reading lots of H/D fic and there was SO MUCH Ron hate. It was pretty unbearable.
