Yes, and again, just because Mal has lost faith doesn't make the entire concept of "Firefly" or "Serenity" anti-Christian.

Or Book has Mal see the light. Whatever.

Well, see - there you go... In "Jaynestown", Book explanes faith very well. Now, that isn't anti-Christian is it? It isn't really pro-Christian, either. In fact Christ really doesn't come into play other than Book has a Bible and not a copy of the Torra or some other religious body of work.

No flame intended, just don't see how this show is anti-Christian. It doesn't send a message that Christianity is bad, or that faith in God is wrong, or anything like that. One character has turned away. He still accepts a person who's life is devoted to faith (or so we believe - still don't know Book's full story) as a member of his crew.

I guess you were just more attentive than me, because I didn't even notice Blue Sun till visiting web-sites, then later listening to commentaries.

Now, of course, I do expect Blue Sun to be addressed in a sequel. I wonder if I'll wear my Blue Sun t-shirt more or less when the sequels become blockbusters and everybody knows about Blue Sun!?

I think that people were looking forward to more of Blue Sun and it's involvement with River and the academy in the movies. This relationship was one of the big mysteries that the premature ending of the show left unsolved. I think that it is only rivaled by the questions revolving around who Book was before entering the monastery as a mystery.

The reavers always seemed to me just to be monsters haunting the edge of the galaxy. I've seen enough movies about people escaping monsters and natural disasters to not be very interested in that angle in Serenity. I can only hope that Joss suprises me by finding a new angle to the man against monster theme.

So you assume Book really did join a monastery huh? I think Book and River are the too biggest mysteries people want solved. Maybe we'll get one per movie or something.

I agree that the reavers never did anything for me. Seems like they are basically taking over the role of aliens. I thought Joss wanted to get past the monster stage. Then again I'm trying to stay spoiler free so maybe they aren't monsters at all.

Nathan says a lot of things. Nathan is also the one who floated the 10 yr rumour.

Sometimes I think that Nathan embellishes.

And (I may be completely wrong) I don't think Nathan was involved in any of the actual legal contracts and or stipulations.

I think Nathan has a tendency to tell the audience what they want to hear. Good guy that NF! Love him. But, not so much the one in charge.
