Hey! Since we're on the topic (sorta): What'd y'all get for Chanukah/Christmas/Diwali/Kwanza(a)/Winter Solstice Sacrifice-a-Goat Day? (Sorted by alpha; no moral order of preference should be inferred.) I mean, y'all surely didn't wait to open your presents, right? What would be the fun in that, when instant gratification beckons with its little endorphin-laced tendrils?
Enticingly,
zoid
P.S.
Here's a spoiler for you: The Earth ends when the Sun depletes its fuel and expands beyond the orbit of Mars. Sadly, I don't see a sequel happening...
P.P.S.

Maybe this is what Zoid just said but in more words, who knows? but I always think spoilers *are* a bit like getting your presents still in their wrapping - you can pick them up, feel the weight and rattle or squeeze them. But you still don't really know what's in there until you take the wrapping off. I loved spoilers once I found Spoiler Slayer, somehow it was always seeing exactly how the bits you knew fitted in with the stuff that couldn't easily be conveyed in words which was fun. Even when you've got the script, there's so much more to the experience, visual, music and sound etc.
It's about antici ----------pation.
If you don't see the prezzies at all it's not the same

To be honest you really do not learn anything new about Book.
In one scene where he is talking to Mal, Mal asks the question we all would like to ask Book. Simply Mal asks what the deal is with Book's past. The sad thing about Books answer is it is almost written for the audience, in the sense that Books past is no longer important since the show is no longer around to show it.
Book tells Mal that his history is not importnant anymore.

I will say, I was disappointed we never find out more about Book, and probably will never get the chance.

Someone on whedonesque implied that there are certain things Book says concerning another character that could be interpreted to be a characterization of himself in the past.Select to view spoiler:
I was wondering if my favorite theory, that Book might have been an Operative in his past, could gain some support from the movie?

Book was barely in the movie, which was sad. Because I did like the character. One of the reasons why the show was so great was because of the balance of the characters.
highlite to see the answer to your question:

Jiltedtoo, what sort of storyline was there between Mal and Inara, do we get any romance at all between the two?
Also, someone on the other spoiler thread said that two of our heros die, is this true or just a horrible lie? 
thanks
I'll be in my bunk.

Thanks, JT. In one sense, it's good to know that all the potential narrative arcs of the TV show haven't been shoe-horned into a movie. We wouldn't expect anything uncraftsman-like from Whedon, but confirmation is good.

There is no more real romance between the two then there was in the show.

Kaylee & Simon make there *relationship* offical though
Yes it is true there is more then one character death in the movie. I actually answered about who dies and how they die in that thread.

I wanted to say, I really really loved the movie. The first 45 minutes of the movie felt so much like the show, it was unreal. I have watched the episodes of the show a few times and the feeling of watching the characters in new situations, saying new things, just blew me away.
The sad part about this movie is it doesn't feel like a new life to the show Firefly. It feels like an end to the old show. It doesn't give me new hope to see the characters again. It gave me a sense of closure to the old show I have grown to cherish.
I enjoy talking about the show with other fans. It is hard to find people who have even heard about the show.

As an encouragement to potential spoiler-mongers, do you notice how JT top-posts but no-one has flamed? There are benefits to sharing
