Just because I want to know

Here’s a Firefly-favorite-characters poll. Because it's been a while since I've posted on the topic of Firefly, and I came up with this idea during a boring meeting at work today.

[Poll #1019132]
yubsie: (Kaylee peachy keen)

*flail* Picking between Zoe, Kaylee and River was HARD! (Of course, it also took me forever to settle on a favourite character :p)

It was definitely a hard poll, wasn't it? All the characters are so great.

No Firefly icons! Dang, someone's gotta give you some icons as a gift then.

My paid account expires in about 12 days or something so it'd be unwise to spend that if I could only use them for 12 days :/ but good idea, lol

Waaaaaaaash!

Also, I heart that you spend meetings thinking up Firefly polls. What are you going to use the results for?

No need for me to guess how you voted. :)

Um, nothing. The main reason I wanted to do this was because I remembered that in the last "favorite FF character" poll posted on [livejournal.com profile] fireflyfans, Zoe placed near the bottom. I wondered if the results might look different if I split out the characters by sex.

Of course most everyone seeing this poll will be on my f-list, and my f-list contains lots of Zoe/Wash fans. So I recognize that this poll is not exactly scientifically valid.

But I was bored. :)

Who needs scientifically valid when you've got Wash and Zoe?! :D

Argh, too hard! I need washandzoe as an option for the last one.

Right now I'm looking at Wash screencaps searching for just the right "batshit rage" moment for an icon, so he gets the edge for being dorky love.

Ask me in five minutes time, and it might be Zoe...

I really would love to see this...

*g*

This is the best I've got so far. He only does really angry in OoG, in terrible low light conditions - sooo inconvenient.

I may have to settle for "extremely pissy" - War Stories was better lit!

Yeah, too bad about the low light in OOG. And in the entire movie.

That picture is priceless. Where's it from?

<.<

Of course I wasn't checking my email at 1.30 am...

The cap is from this site (http://www.leavemethewhite.com/firefly/thumbnails.php?album=8&page=9). Middle of the second to last row. I futzed around with it a bit, so it ended up rather cartoony.

The games with light in OOG are pretty, though. I might even try capping it myself.

Or I could admit that I don't actually need a "rage" icon... that would work, too.

Cool - thanks for the link to the site. I didn't know there were websites that just have FF screencaps sitting there,

And I love your quote icon! Needless to say, it's from my favorite scene. :)

[identity profile] invisibleshrew.livejournal.com 2007-07-12 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Mmmmm, nice scene.

The site that most people use for caps is still-flying.net (http://still-flying.net/) - and I think there might be a few others too.

Fans are so generous with their time (and bandwidth).

I should edit in a comment credit to the caps site now that I've uploaded the icon, come to think of it.

I love that icon. Make me laugh!

[identity profile] fireflyfailure.livejournal.com 2007-07-12 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
awww, everyone loves zoe and wash : )

[identity profile] stormkpr.livejournal.com 2007-07-12 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
I guess you do have to keep in mind who the likely respondents of this poll have been. My f-list is abundant with Zoe/Wash fans, sooo....:-)

I find it interesting that 4 people picked Kaylee is their favorite female character, but no one selected Inara or River. I mean I knew Zoe would win that section because of the number of Z/W fans on here. But I was still surprised that Inara and River didn't garner even a single vote.

This is like choosing between my children. If I had any.

I love how these characters inspire such loyalty!
