Yes, but Badger is clearly undermining the crew on any given job, so he's already been established as a lowlife and a villian for them. Jubal is a little less defined, is all. If there's a consensus to "write him back in" here, then I'd think he functions better as being differnet to both Badger and/or Niska and in a big way.

Preference, is all.

I also would think too much along the lines of "the gray character since that's limiting. There could be many - heck, Jayne is pretty well in there, isn't he? But, the character as a whole should differ in motivations from others of the same archetype. At least IMO.

I'm in. I'd love to read, write them, or even just give ideas!

Something's going down tonight! Something with the man!

Two by two. Hand of blue.

I want lots of wash and zoe but i lack creativity tonight. Too much studying for my theory exam makes my brain go numb to everything except chord progessions. But yes. A whole WAsh and Zoe episode would be my dream. I want to know when she made the switch from "he bothers me" to love. I assume it has to do with the lack of mustache because that thing was nasty. I want to see their wedding! i think they eloped. And i don't think Zoe's the white dress type... actually dont think zoe's the dress type at all (well, 'cept a slinky dress ) That's all i got fer now. No real plot, just the flashbacks I want.

Back to work.

Hmm.. as far as Early's hearing.. I had a notion from the getgo that he was deaf and read lips. If you remember, there is a scene where he totally misunderstands words and sentences for something else.

Adds depth to his character anyway. No much need to explain away his bad hearing.

I like the idea of this episode quite a bit.

Working on your flashbacks, Saint. Or Cheese. What do you prefer to be called?

I think we also need to have some more Wash-Mal friction. That "War Stories" stuff isn't over yet.

But flashbacks: working on a "proposal" flashback right now. But who asks who, I wonder.

Wonder if we're stomping on the mythology?

Well...I'm in for sure. I have more ideas then I can count. :smiles: Maybe ...someone here can start a group of some kind dealing with this idea or is there one already?

Firefly: The Virtual Seasons

Virtual Season 2
Episode 1 'Objects in Space pt 2'

Serenity is on a planet. Simon is buying the data from the information broker, observed by Mal and Jayne. But Mal walks out of the bar, returning to Serenity when confronted by Early: JUBAL: So...we meet again, Malcolm Reynolds. Funny thing, fate. Particularly when fate has so little to do with us meeting like this.

MAL: (glanincg at JUBAL's gun and then smiling back up at him) Figueres. Mind if I ask you a question 'fore you go and perforate me?

JUBAL: As long as it won't take to long. I have a shedual to keep. I'm a busy man.

MAL: (wry, quick smile) Weren't you floating off into the deep last we spoke?

JUBAL: I was.

MAL: Thought so. How'd that turn out.

JUBAL: I'm cleverer than you might think.

MAL: I see. So how does that explain your getting smacked on the head like that?

JUBAL looks confused, and turns just as JAYNE hits him hard with a ceramic sculpture from some local shop.

JAYNE: (looking down at JUBAL) Didn't we kill him alreddy?

MAL: Already, yes, but apparently not enough. Let's go.

Cut to CREDIT SEQUENCE

The data that Simon bought from the information broker was encrypted. Wash and Kaylee have been busy decoding it.

Book helps with a very suprising knowledge of the Alliance encryption codes.

When it is decrypted, Mal finds a reference to a Early.

Early visits the information broker too and tries to buy the same information that Simon bought. But Simon bought it and the information broker has deleted it from his 'tex. He's outlived his usefulness so Early shoots the information broker from here to tuesday.

Early then visits a shadowed figure in a frontier office ( either Niska, Badger or Atherton ) and tells the figure that he believes the figure can be of use.

Early wants Serenity because of the information that Simon bought.

The figure replies that with all the 'explosive' situations that Serenity is finding herself in, he shouldn't worry about Serenity for very long.

We then cut to Serenity discovering a drifting frigate in the middle of nowhere. Before sending a team over, Mal first determines that it might have been Reavers ...

Mal leads a team over to the stricken frigate to recover goods. Mal, Jayne and Zoe return to Serenity leaving Kaylee and Simon on the frigate to gather engineering supplies.

Perhaps Mal does this at the behest of River ?

Then Mal realises. It's not Reaver work and the patterns of attack on the frigate are artificial. The stricken frigate is a 'venus fly trap' ...

Jayne: Venus fly trap ?

Mal: Good looking and deadly.

Mal radios Kaylee and Simon but they haven't got enough time to get back into their suits and get back to Serenity so they jump into an escape pod.

The freighter blows and the escape pod moves away from Serenity and the debris field. Kaylee and Simon, in compact quarters end up kissing just as Mal opens the lock of the escape pod ...

Mal: Ho-boy ...

But Jayne's reaction is a classic.

Everyone is gathered in the cargo bay whilst the recovery is taking place. River looks down from the walkway but senses something, looking back to the door ...

Early enters, throws a grenade and gasses the rest of the crew. He searches the ship but cannot find River _or_ the information chip. So he takes the women of Serenity ( Inara, Kaylee and Zoe ) back to his own ship.

And then we lead into the whole Boys rescue the Girls ( who Early is holding hostage until they hand over either the information or River ).

River was hiding outside the ship, mimicking the trick she played with Simon in Bushwacked ( and, from Objects in Space, we know she can 'space walk' on her own ) and even the Boys don't know where she is.

Thought Jayne does insist on handing her over to Early to rescue Kaylee. Could this be ? Something that Jayne and Simon agree on ?

And we end with the boys bringing the girls back onto Serenity, having stormed Early's ship ( maybe with a twist on the pretitles of Our Mrs Reynolds ( is that t

Gailo:

I love how your mind works. We could put Badger in the same category as Jayne, just that Jayne is leaning a little more towards the lighter side than Badger is. Early could be gray too, I just didn't want everyone in the mythology to be the good guys, or have good guy potential.

You are right though, we need a couple of gray people in this.

Kayleeholic:

OOOHHH!!! *Dances up and down with hand in the air*

This is progressing along so good, Joss should come in and see this! (definitely worthy of him)

I know I'm stating the obvious, but maybe Early wants to know what happened to him. That way, he couldn't kill them if he wanted the information.

I don't think that Simon would agree to trade River for Kaylee. I would love to see him dressed up as River though. And River could spout some stuff about Early like she did to Badger in Shindig. Maybe something like:

"Where did your heart go? All that's left is your mind. You're not the person you say you are, because you can't find yourself. Looking, always looking, and seeing yourself one step behind, always one step behind. Locked away, so far away, you're afraid. Afraid that when you find it, you won't be there. Afraid that you never were."

WASH: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction.
ZOE: We live in a space ship, dear.
WASH: So?

Sounds cool. I particularly like the idea of a hijacked ship. Could make for some thrilling heroics.

Also, "stricken frigate" would be a great name for a band.

Sounds shiny, but the Simon/Kaylee thing could be dragged out a bit more. I think, and this is only my opinion, that Simon is not ready to not put his sister before anything yet, and he doesn't want to ever put Kaylee in second place.
