[edit] Kaylee in Trivia

Kaylee has expressed romantic interest in two men thus far — Simon and Tracey — who have threatened her life. Simon refuses to treat her gunshot wound unless they protect River from the Alliance in "Serenity", and now Tracey holds her at gunpoint. Joss Whedon wryly observes in the DVD commentaries that one quick path to Firefly drama is to threaten the relentlessly sweet engineer. (A tactic he also admitted to using in early Buffy episodes, where he said that putting Willow in danger was the surest way to win over the viewers.)

while I'm not arguing the result, but if memory serves me right, she fell for Tracey BEFORE he held her at gunpoint. So am wondering if the second sentence should be reworded to:

Kaylee has expressed romantic interest in two men thus far — Simon and Tracey — who have threatened her life. Simon refuses to treat her gunshot wound unless they protect River from the Alliance in "Serenity", and now Tracey, whom she is attracted to, holds her at gunpoint -plange 16:13, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

This might not be the sort of analysis/speculation that belongs in Wikipedia, but I think it's fair to say there might be a prior relationship between Kaylee and Tracey. Thoughts? (I can cite evidence if need be) -Juansmith 22:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Private Tracey

Note that the actor playing Tracey (Jonathan M. Woodward) played a vampire in Buffy and one of Illyria's worshippers in Angel.--SarekOfVulcan 19:20, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
