great news for Firefly fans!!!

You can't leave out Summer Glau from post Firefly/Serenity fantasies.

She is also starring in the upcoming Sara Connor Chronicles    MMmmm

Dude, the character she played was mentioned several times as being 17 years old. I don't know what her actual age is, but once I heard that, it's "kid", not "attractive".

Wrong. Summer Glau is actually older than Jewel Stait, by over a year, and Jewel Stait is well into her 20s.

I've found out that the actress is, but that doesn't really change my sentiment. If a character is mentioned as being under 18, I "see" them as a kid.

[InfidelSerf]

Well my eyes don't lie to me.. I could care less what age the fictitious character the actress is playing is supposed to be.
The actress is a young twenty something that's appealing to the eyes. 
No need to vitiate it as anything more than an attraction for a young WOMAN.

[K Frame]

OK, that's your particular problem, not someone else's, that you can't differentiate between the fictional character in a fictional TV show set in a fictional world and the real actress.

[Perd Hapley]

What's so icky about attraction to a seventeen-year-old, versus a nineteen-year-old? 

[wooderson]

Are there any states where 17 isn't legal anyway?

I believe it's bad mojo in all states for a 30something to "hookup" with an under 18 period.

Back in the day when I was 18, my girlfriend was 16, according to KS law it was statutory rape if we were to do the wild thing.
Only if her parents didn't approve. 
Under 16 and it doesn't matter if they swear on a Bible for you, you would be going to jail.
And anyone could turn you in.
From 16-18 the parents are the only ones that could see you to the pokey.

[wooderson]

Ah, there are still several states where 18 is the minimum - but just as many where 16-17 is (essentially) in the clear: http://www.coolnurse.com/consent.htm

Me, personally, I follow the "half your age plus seven" rule religiously.

Cowboy bebop is cool.

As far as physiological response goes, I am not going to feel bad about finding a post-pubescent sexually attractive, that's hard-wired.

Morally and intellectually though, I'm not into "children" (or the immature).

Arbitrary age limits for statuatory, while a practical solution much like alcohol or gun purchase/possession age limits or arbitrary BAC's, are not in any way to be confused with some sort of science.

Agreed, and if you think that drooling over River is wrong, you'd blow a gasket over the Ed fetishists.

 Milwaukie, OR - There's plenty of reason for the Browncoats to look forward to 2008. Dark Horse has a whole lot of Serenity coming down the pipeline! First and foremost is the new Serenity comics series that is due out in March. This three-issue series, Serenity: Better Days, is a step back in time to the early years of the Firefly crew, and the fledgling gang's turbulent attempts to cope with success after they pull off their first successful heist. It features the same creative team as Those Left Behind, with the story by Joss Whedon and Brett Matthews, art by Will Conrad, and Adam Hughes providing all three covers this time.

Cool....and I just bought a new shiny brown coat....

16 is the age of consent in NV, that don't mean just because it is legal that
teens are interested in going out with grandpas best friend,

[Headless Thompson Gunner]

As long as there aren't any Ein fetishists.

What is it with anime and curvy teenybopper girls who've lost themselves?

Whenever I want to be sure I'm sane, I come to the internet.
I can safely and honestly say I don't have fantasies over women I see in IRL, TV, movies, etc.  I don't even ogle womens on the street!


Wait, does that mean something's wrong with me?

Yes.  Report to the reeducation camp.
