Omg, Firefly. I loved this show a ridiculous amount back in the day. STILL love. You're right - in theory it sounds whacky, but you absolutely fall in love with Serenity and everyone on it. <333
But what makes her very, very special is that she is happily (most of the time) married. I think most women who are depicted as warriors tend to either have no emotion other than kill, kill , making them evil and cold, or they are secretly messed up emotionally and need some male hero to ‘fix’ them and make them realize that what they really want is a white picked fence and an apron.
Ooh, that's such a good observation. I don't think I've ever thought about Zoe's character quite like that, but it's so true.
