Jewell and Summer
Summer Glau (who plays River Tam) spends almost all of t he series and a great deal of the movie barefoot, and Jewell Staite (Kaylee) shows off her feet quite a bit too.
I used to be frustrated by mainstream sci fi where female characters simply refused to go barefoot- and I'm not talking 'sandles' here- please! That's just not the same thing!
I had to wait for season Seven of Buffy before SMG appeared Barefoot in around 5 or 6 episodes, but each was barely a two minute scene. In firefly, we had not just one but two characters who regularly got their socks off on camera- more so Summer than Jewell.
The movie 'Serenity' was wonderful, and a must for any barefoot fans (but then, so was 'Panic Room' with Jodie- 95% of the movie in pyjamas and bare feet). My advice ? Go and see it. Even if you've never seen 'Firefly', the TV show that Serenity came from. you don't need to see it to appreciate the film, and certainly not to appreciate Summer's footwear dress code (undress code?)
best entertainment in the cinemas this year alone !!!!(my opinion)
