I love that a character practically made of innocence, sweetness, and light was also in her own way the biggest horndog on a ship that had a companion and Jayne.
Innocent ... innocent ? That little monkey-tart was distracting Mal's engineer from his duties when the Captain first met her, banged the poor boy's brains out down in the engine room !
Kaylee was the heart of Serenity in two ways; she kept her flying when she should have been adrift in space, and her heart and warmth brought a balance of humanity and warmth to the ship that wouldn't have been the same without her.
My parents named me after Kaylee in hopes I would be as positive and hopeful as her. I love to watch the show every once in a while and think of it. She cheers me up.
Kaylee got some of the best lines. One of my favorites was from Serenity: "Goin' on a year now I ain't had nothin' twixt my nethers weren't run on batteries!" As another commenter said, the biggest horndog on the ship.
A few years ago, I went to a Con who featured most of the cast of Firefly. I had a 10yr anniversary poster which I wanted them each to sign. Jewel was the first to sign it. While waiting in line, I wasn't nervous or the like, lots of talk about the show of course and you could see the other cast members there who were signing too. I thought I was set! I finally get up to Jewel and absolutely FROZE. What felt like forever probably was only a couple of seconds to which I collected myself, apologized explaining I promised myself to not be "That Guy". She laughed and we spoke for about 30 seconds afterward about the show n stuff. She signed my poster "You're cute...I want to LIVE!" with a big 'ol heart and her sig. I was a geek for the rest of the day...and that poster, along with the other cast members signatures...sits framed and mounted center in my entertainment room.
Okay...now I gotta watch the series (and movie) again. Nice job! It's been a spell since i've seen this show. Someone told me once that watching Firefly is like falling in love only to say goodbye. Time have my heart broken...again.
Left out a goodie. Jayne : Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal : I don't believe there's a power in the 'verse can stop Kaylee from bein' cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct-tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month. Kaylee : [kisses Mal's cheek] I love my captain.
She had such a majical feel for those engines....... I loved seeing her in all the adventures STAY SHINY!!!!😀I want more of this...... I want more of this...... not just Kaylee but the whole crew. It is so very sad that Book can not come back to his role.....It is a masterful role
@@A____G as much as I didn't want the series to end a reboot would just not be the same, sometimes you have to take the Jewel as it is and appreciate it, no amount of extra polishing will shine it more.
@@CrusaderSports250 I don't think anyone thinks it will be the same, but that doesn't mean it won't be great to spend more time in the firefly universe. If they can get the tone right, pay attention to the important details and give us some decent character through which to experience the universe, then I don't need it to be a perfect recreation. I just want it to be good.
@@A____G as would I, but you know in your heart of hearts they would trash it the whole inclusive mustn't offend anyone culture we have today is destroying drama, Firefly was made up of broken characters and that was part of its appeal, we can relate to a little bit of that brokenness in our own lives, but I couldn't see that being allowed, I think it best we live with and love the gem we have.
@@doriangray6985 She was. The entire crew was. I'm not a series fan, I hardly watch any nowadays. I've re-watched Firefly a couple times and will never tire of it!
To be fair, I think Kaylee is "one of" EVERYBODY'S favorite characters. (including me) lol Total Props to Jewel Straite for her amazing performance of this loveably, sweet & optimistic character played with nuance and depth. I think my 'overall" favorite is Walsh. But lets be honest, Walsh & Kaylee we definitely "cut from the same cloth".
@@abbynormall207 I wouldn't bode them any malice... if the show wasn't good. It was amazing; it's the fact that they had such an ego, and because Morena Baccarin wouldn't sleep with them, they threw a tantrum.
I’m going to be Kaylee for Halloween. And hopefully some other times to cosplay. I’m so excited! She’s such a wonderful character! :) I even bought a pin that says Shiny! 💕🥰
I only made it part way through this video. There is still too much love and sorrow built up for Serenity and its crew. 20 years on and this series still feels like the biggest love and greatest loss of my life.
you made me fall in love with the show more and more I think she was the best character on the show but I also loved all the characters one of my favorite shows ever I totally wish it had at least six seasons for seven seasons at the most definitely with the best show for science fiction I've ever seen with a great storyline and didn't keep me bored just get me excited for the next episode
Disney can TRY to make their own version of Firefly, but NOTHING they can ever make will replace or supplant my Firefly. I love Kaylee, have had a crush on Jewel Staite since I first saw the show, and that will NOT change.
Kaylee was always my favourite , so sweet and so bubbly and always just wanted everyone to be happy like her , didn't hurt that she is just so gorgeous , that smile could melt any heart , oooh yum . PLEASE bring back firefly .
This was such a phenomenal show and cast. Like Sheldon Cooper, I couldn't beleive that they'd cancel this show after just one season. What a waste of what could have been a brilliant 6 to 10 year run.
Staite's parents must have had a kind of future sight, cause their daughter is really a Jewel 🥰. Love Kaylee and Stargate: Atlantis' Dr. Jennifer Keller as well.
Even though they made her gain weight because they thought she was too thin for the part, she's still the perfect mix of beauty, charm, and wholesomeness...combined with such a warm personality. Take her over Inara any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
The Earth Mother archetype. Not on Earth, not a mother but the one who keeps their world, the ship rocking along. I think she is my favorite character.
I just started watching the series again, this time on hulu. I have to watch the whole series again every few years. Never get tired of it. The best cast of characters. Fun to watch. One of my most favorite TV series ever. Kaylee is such a beauty on the show.
Jewel supposedly had to gain 20 pounds for the role of Kaylee. She went back to her normal weight after the show was cancelled. When they filmed the movie the producers were "nice" enough to let her play the role without the extra pounds. Not really sure why Joss Whedon needed the Kaylee character to be a little heavier. She looked perfectly fine in Serenity.
I love that a character practically made of innocence, sweetness, and light was also in her own way the biggest horndog on a ship that had a companion and Jayne.
I was never so interested in anyone's nethers until Kaylee hit the starlanes.
@@commandercaptain4664
That certainly got Jayne's attention.
Summed her up absolutely perfectly!
Innocent ... innocent ? That little monkey-tart was distracting Mal's engineer from his duties when the Captain first met her, banged the poor boy's brains out down in the engine room !
I loved how she was able to figure out what wrong with the ship having never been on one while on her back while having her nethers twixed.
Gotta love Kaylee. When she says "Your my girl. Your my good girl."
She had me...

I love Kaylee's character so much I named my daughter after her ❣️
Awe that's so sweet

is that from serenity or the show?

Jewel was a down right cutie..... you are one lucky guy to get a autograph like that!!
That’s a great story I’d love to meet Jewel!
Kaylee was my favorite character on Firefly. Beautiful, funny, and I love women who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.
I'm still in love with Kaylee. Thanks for this video tribute.
Okay...now I gotta watch the series (and movie) again. Nice job! It's been a spell since i've seen this show. Someone told me once that watching Firefly is like falling in love only to say goodbye.
Time have my heart broken...again.
I know exactly what you mean, but yes time for a re watch haha.
It’s been a long while. Time to go around again.
That’s a great way to put it. It’s so true.
Make sure you watch serenity also. A nice ending and it’s on a 4K disc with Atmos.
Kaylee was so adorable!
Can't see Kaylee and not click :) Best show in the verse.
Left out a goodie.
Jayne : Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please?
Mal : I don't believe there's a power in the 'verse can stop Kaylee from bein' cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct-tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.
Kaylee : [kisses Mal's cheek] I love my captain.
Oh yeah I loved that as well
That was the scene that got me hooked
Browncoats for life!! I'll always have a little crush on Kaylee. Man I miss this show.
She had such a majical feel for those engines....... I loved seeing her in all the adventures STAY SHINY!!!!😀I want more of this...... I want more of this...... not just Kaylee but the whole crew. It is so very sad that Book can not come back to his role.....It is a masterful role
Doing a video for Wash!~ I know exactly how you feel though, making these always reminds me how short but magical this adventure was

The writing for this show was just spot on. Never anything close to it before or since.
I've had a crush on this lady since 2002. Honestly, I still do.
What an awesome edit this is!!! 👍👍
Gotta harcore crush on Kaylee all these year. That devastivating smile. Glad she got her doctor in the end.
A bright gem in a cast of gems. My secret crush. A wonderful actress and a wonderful character.
She was amazing
@@doriangray6985 She was. The entire crew was. I'm not a series fan, I hardly watch any nowadays. I've re-watched Firefly a couple times and will never tire of it!
She is made from the same mold as one of my best friend's sister. Wonderful female!
I had a massive crush on her back in the day lol.
I still do, lol.
@@Jdavidson210 Same.
I love how you interposed the ship and Kaylee! Lovely video.
Kaylee is one of my favourite characters TuT I love this so much! Good job Ray!

I think my 'overall" favorite is Walsh. But lets be honest, Walsh & Kaylee we definitely "cut from the same cloth".
This tribute is about more than Kaylee. Sooo much here about what made the whole show great, rough as it was, just like the ship itself.
I've had a crush on Kaylee since the first episode. Jewel Statie did an amazing job playing her. 😻😻
I always wanted to be Kaylee growing up. I adored her optimism and heart of gold.
Nice. The casting for Firefly really made the writing shine. Kaylee was perfect.
Oh gosh... with Preacher/Sheppard, I bawled my eyes out in the end. He was such an amazing character.
This was wonderful!!! Thank you. I think Kaylee is one of my favorite characters. I love them all, but she is close to the top.
Well done Ray, kind of got me a little misty eyed with this.
This show will do that to us all haha, I'm just halfway now with doing Washs video and I'm also misty eyed.
Such a great show and I absolutely love her
"Don't weep because it ended. Smile because it happened."
Truth!!!!
Weep because “(He) was a leaf on the wind.”
The Fox executive That tanked this show deserves to be kicked in the crotch every day.

That sounds fun, I hope you have a great time. I'm wanting to do Mal and my next convention. 😀
Hope you eventualy do the whole crew, just found these and I’m loving then
One of the reasons why I liked the character of Kaylee was because she reminded me of my younger sister. And that was nice.
I only made it part way through this video. There is still too much love and sorrow built up for Serenity and its crew. 20 years on and this series still feels like the biggest love and greatest loss of my life.
We love kaylee! Please you need to post more I love your Chanel it’s the only one I’ve found decent things of the characters.
I’m planning to make one for Wash over the next few weeks, as I intend to return to video edits in my spare time again. Thank you!
Oh that’s awesome we love wash, he was the heart of the crew.
Well done!
A beautiful tribute to a wonderful character.
The Character and Actor was definitely one of my first Crushes. 😍

Major Crush, My Sweet Kaylee. Wonderful Character and actor.
I cried when the show ended. Still miss it all these years later.
Wow, it's been a really long time! Might be time to watch this show again. I'm going to subscribe to see who comes next.
I'm always rewatching.
Smile and a tear every watch, well done.
Beautiful tribute, to an amazing show.
Kudos!
Her introduction is priceless.
i loved this show all the characters i wanted so much more :)
Disney can TRY to make their own version of Firefly, but NOTHING they can ever make will replace or supplant my Firefly. I love Kaylee, have had a crush on Jewel Staite since I first saw the show, and that will NOT change.
I have to now go and watch the series and movie again, and it will be awesome!
Kaylee was always my favourite , so sweet and so bubbly and always just wanted everyone to be happy like her , didn't hurt that she is just so gorgeous , that smile could melt any heart , oooh yum . PLEASE bring back firefly .
The best tv show to ever be canceled.
I love it, thank you.
I don't think there was anyone that watched this show that didn't love Kaylee. I had a huge crush on her..
She was Amazing, such a good series
It was a beautiful show. The characters, the writing, Serenity. We are all less fortunate this show got cancelled.
I miss having Kaylee in my life....
My ComicCon cosplay every year. Met Jewel one year - she was really sweet.
This was such a phenomenal show and cast. Like Sheldon Cooper, I couldn't beleive that they'd cancel this show after just one season. What a waste of what could have been a brilliant 6 to 10 year run.
So gorgeous. I was surprised to find out she actually had to gain weight and maintain it during the series. I never would have noticed.
All these reboots no one asked for and this is the one they deny us
Beautifully edited❤
I always loved how open and innocent she was abou6t her sexuality.
We are all Kaylee, or we wish we were. I want my children to be like her
Staite's parents must have had a kind of future sight, cause their daughter is really a Jewel 🥰. Love Kaylee and Stargate: Atlantis' Dr. Jennifer Keller as well.
... or was it nominative determinism?
I adored Kaylee and loved the show! It was a HUGE mistake when they canceled the series!
Even though they made her gain weight because they thought she was too thin for the part, she's still the perfect mix of beauty, charm, and wholesomeness...combined with such a warm personality. Take her over Inara any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
I watched Serenity and had to order the series. Just got it this was a great preview thanks
Too damn cute!😻
Thank you, nice job. Kaylee is amazing!
Thank you! I agree haha, working on Wash then Zoe
1:39 Her smile is absolutely mesmerizing!
Love this show, classic!!!!
Ok ok I'll binge watch Firefly again!
Kaywinnet Lee Frye is the human embodiment of a “Cinnamon Roll”
#ChangeMyMind
The Earth Mother archetype. Not on Earth, not a mother but the one who keeps their world, the ship rocking along. I think she is my favorite character.
Kaylee: Wash, tell me i'm pretty.
Wash: Were I unwed, I would take you in a manly fashion.
Kaylee : 'Cause I'm pretty?
Wash : 'Cause you're pretty.
This video is quite impressive considering the lack of episodes available from which to make an adequate collage of clips.
Fantastic!
One of my favorite characters of all time
I adore Kaylee...
In a cast that are all legends, she stood out.
The only crew member for whom a case could be made for their love of Serenity being greater than that of the Cap'n.
Love this tribute
Such an amazingly beautiful woman, and the most interesting character on the show.
I met jewel Staite in 2006 and again in 2017. I've got her autograph.
I loved her eternal optimism.
An angel among the stars.
Can I just point out how perfect Radio Protector (or any 65 DOS track) is for Firefly
Is there anyone who isn't in love with Kaylee?
Jewel Staite is awesome!
Nice work, very fitting.
rest in peace firefly
I normally really don't like these types of characters. Especially in real life. Despite that, Kaylee is my favourite character in firefly.
A very underrated show.
The best sci-fi series in history... Bar none..
Well done.
I just started watching the series again, this time on hulu. I have to watch the whole series again every few years. Never get tired of it. The best cast of characters. Fun to watch. One of my most favorite TV series ever. Kaylee is such a beauty on the show.
Same here, once a year I'll rewatch the series. Doing these videos I get to rewatch a bunch more and notice more details each time.

Not really sure why Joss Whedon needed the Kaylee character to be a little heavier. She looked perfectly fine in Serenity.
I need another show or movie that has the same feelings as Firefly recommended to me please
Good job Ray b/c you hit the highs & the lows in her life equitably!!!
I always liked her. So dang cute.
