Great writing, great characters, and the coolest ship of all time. But it was also unusual in that no matter what your taste in women, one of the four women on the show would be right for you. I myself am a man of widely varying tastes. I move back and forth on which of the four firefly women I love the most. Kaylee has that heart melting sweetness. River's creepy enough to be intriguing, and has that great hair. Inara is, well, Inara. The very incarnation of sex. But Zoe. I think Zoe might be the best. Zoe is the kind of character that I'd be thrilled to sleep with, but nearly as thrilled to be her friend. That's unusual. Also, if she was my girlfriend, I would totally let her kick people's asses for me, and that would rule. I think I'd be slightly afraid of making her mad though. That line where she tells Jayne, "I can hurt you." You totally buy that. Even Jayne looks scared. Firefly was an unusual show. Great writing, great characters, and the coolest ship of all time.

lol…I know SO many men who say that. :D

Sarah Connor was great, pretty but still kick-ass. But Ripley will always be my hero.

What did you think of Zoe in Firefly? I’ve got such a crush on her.

Ripley is still the best of all time, hands down. Sarah Connor in the second Terminator movie was quite good. Very tough and self sufficient. Also, she beat the hell out of a creepy insane asylum guard. You get bonus points for that.

The potential is wasted. Milla - I'd have SO much more respect for her if she stopped the lame cosmetic ads, and I swear she has a clause to appear naked in every movie she does...!
