I've heard of The Wild Wild West - I think I thought it was a western. (And I saw the trailers for the movie, and therefore knew well enough that I had to avoid it at all costs.) I never heard of The Adventures of Briscoe County, Jr. and will look for it.
When I reread the Bujold novels (bound to happen sometime soon) I'm going to watch the thread of Cordelia's character development.
I certainly think Miles respects Cordelia, but his main bonding seems to be with his father. If Miles and Cordelia have 'issues', we haven't seen them - not that I've noticed. They seem to actually have a rather good relationship, except that it seems to mainly consist of a huge blind spot on the part of each of them. Considering that they are both fairly insight judges of character, it looks like wilful collusion.
Or perhaps I'm simply reading too much into it. Maybe they are mutually fond, but not close, not really curious about each other, and happy to be that way, since Lois McMaster Bujold doesn't want to delve into the intricacies of the relationship. Comfortably superficial, and both parties happy to leave it so.
