I'm sure the blue rod thing was just some advanced form of a Q-tip. Ear hygiene is a big deal in the future.

But of course it's possible it could be used to crush brains instead...

No one likes my ideas for scripts...

Ok, I realize that this has probably been stated before, but I would think that since I've been on these forums for some time and haven't seen it brought up, I'd bring it up. Especially for those that want something else to talk about besides political stuff (I'm know I'm politic'd out right now).

I've been thinking about a possible connection between River and the Blue Hands Men.

River was in the middle of her "treatments" and as such would have been "unfinished work." What if the Blue Sun Corp. was turning these super intellegent youths into Blue Hands (Wo)Men?

We all know that Blue Sun is extremely powerful corp. and pretty much a government unto itself. But, every corp. always wants more. More power, more money, etc.

Would it not be nice (if you were Blue Sun) to have an army of super intellegent people that can kill with there brains? And with the resources of the Blue Sun corp. they probably could've made a good run at it. Or possibly they were for the military still in the testing phase?

And one other thing (ignore it if it's too out there ). What if that rod like "weapon" that the Blue Hands men carried wasn't really a weapon? What if it really was more of an amplification device that really allowed them to kill with there brains? Or at least allowed them to have an area effect, spend less energy doing it, etc?

Anyway, just some of my thoughts.

I know there seems to be an obvious connection between blue sun - Blue hands - and the allaince but i dont think there is a connection because if blue sun was connected to teh alliance than jayne wouldnt be wearing blue sun t-shirts and mal wouldnt let blue sun t-shirts on his ship because he despises the allaince.

Actually, Blue Sun is the corporate entity. So, where else is someone going to get... anything. It pretty much is that if you want something, it's Blue Sun that makes it. So, whether you like it or not, it just a fact of life.

And if you think about the corps we have now adays. There are those that have there fingers in military contracts and others that want ther fingers in military contracts (or just some for of the government for that matter). So, if there is basically only one corp around you'd be guarenteed to have it involved with the gov at multiple levels. It's just the way of the world.

EDIT: For spelling and to mention that quoting posts like you have is considered inconsiderate to those on dial up. Please only quote what is relavent to your reply. If it is a general reply that most use a @ShanYu at the begining to let one know who they are replying to. Thanks in advance.

From what I've heard, he's going to tell the story that couldn't be told because the show got cancelled. This would contradict that since Blue Sun was such an integrel part of the Universe.

Can anyone else confirm or deny?

"Which on-going plot strands from the show had to be dropped from the movie?
The involvement of Blue Sun in the 'Big Mystery'"

From the SFX interview with Joss Whedon. Seems pretty straightforward. Must mean River's character evolves beyond tearing logos off of canned goods and cutting up T-shirts.

Well, that and the slight problem of alienating financial backers for your movie/TV show by suggesting a strong anti-corporate stance. River's abilities have to be channelled away from potitical context.

Been sitting at the top of the news menu on the homepage here, since September. Which makes it kind of odd that I noticed it...
