Yep there is a new mule for Serenity. The quad-runner is gone and a new cool hovercraft is in place. It is stored above the cargo bay. There is a town that the crew have a bank heist at. While they are there, River senses they are arriving (this is the clip you have seen were River say's "Reavers") Anyhoot, when the Reavers hit they have to make a fast get away. So Mal,Zoe,River and Jayne jump aboard and try to flee. But the Reavers have this cool two-Reaver ship and chase them. It was really intense. Unfortunaetly all the effects were un-finished. But it was still cool.

that's very cool, I thought it was a shame when they blew up the mule in Warstories, but if they now have a hovercraft instead that's awesome!! :-)
I've watched that clip from the comiccon a thousand times now, it still gives me a boost when I feel down. Can you say what happens with Serenity at the end of the clip (You know, when Serenity is fleeing from the Reavership and the reavership fires some kind of beam).
Again, thanks for taking the time to answer, I'm getting more and more excited about this movie...:-)

That was a really cool part of the movie. That is towards the end (or close to it) when our gang is trying to flee the Reaver home world and the whole Reaver fleet is chasing them. The problem is that as they are high-tailing it out of there, the Allaince fleet is heading towards the Reaver planet going after Serenity. Wash is a stud here...shows us what Serenity can do in the hands of a capable pilot.

This is a pure spoiler thread for people who want to know about the movie. Ask away...I'll tell ya.

-Are there some cool one-liners or quotes in the movie? And if yes, do you remember some? and who siad them?

- In the trailer from Comiccon we see River with some kind of device on her head screaming, what's up with that?

- And maybe you could give us some kind of small summary of the movie, you know, what kind of cool things we can expect and a little of how the storyline is going to go (without spoiling the end)

I know I've already asked you a lot of questions, but I'm soooo excited and really can't wait til september :-)

You know, i'm not likin some of this.

The concept of a fancy hover to replace the mule bothers me on two fronts...
#1 - it's so COMPLETELY out of character for the story.
#2 - they didn't do too good a job on the one in HoG, honestly.

But #1 reallllllly bothers me.
What's next, transporters ?
:::rolls eyes:::

I sincerely, sincerely hope this doesn't get the same BS nitpick that other Joss productions have (thus destroying them in the name of a quick buck) but after seeing the release date pushback in order to make SURE nothing actually dares *compete* with precious little golden boy prince George Lucas's latest bowel movement on the movie world (cause that's the TRUTH of all those reschedules) so they don't *offend* him and lose out on their cut of the Empire(pun intended)....

And the composer mess sure doesn't inspire a lot of confidence either.

I'd like to hope for the best, but in all honesty that pushback killed off some of the fan base this movie would have NEEDED to make the profit the studio was hoping for, not rabid maniacs like us, but lukewarm fans they could have snared into the franchise who threw up their hands in disgust and moved on.

So while i'll keep hoping (at least till they throw it back in the can and never release it...) I am somewhat concerned.

Wow, you're a really positive *irony intended* person.

From a time/story perspective the hovercraft makes sense. The mule was destroyed, and they needed some new land transport. Probably got a nice amount of money from some job, and UPGRADED. They got a hovercraft which is quicker (Ok, I don't have proof of that, but it would seem logical ) and has more space for goods. And as for the hovercraft in HoG, that thing was put together in the span of 8 days or some amount of time that doesn't really give you time to come up with a Big Damn Hovercraft. The BDM, though, will have a Big Damn Hovercraft.

Secondly I just want to adress the "out of character for the story" problem of yours. It's what it is. It's your problem. For me it is not a problem, because of my POV on the story that is Firefly/Serenity. For the crew to earn more money, they need complicated jobs, jobs that need speedy entries and exits. Thus it makes sense to upgrade to a speedier land vehicle. Gorram, as far as I see it, the hovercraft could be of the Firefly brand, and I want to have things of the Firefly brand.

Finally, we have to realize one thing. Serenity is a movie. People will go see movies. Just as long as they know it's there and they can go see it they will. What can make Serenity a sucsess, make it stand out from the ordinary decently visited, yet not sucsessful, movies that there are loads of in these times, is the Browncoats. We have made a difference before and we will make a difference again.

Do you wanna be a Big Damn Hero or what?

Sincerly can't wait till the Big Damn Movie's released.

What is the activation and deactivation word for River?

I'll rape you to death.
I'll eat your flesh.
I'll sew your skin into my clothes.

>>rabid manics like us<<

That's us, you and me, where I stand ain't ever been in doubt.

Thing is, I have concerns, I have concerns I feel are legit, given the history involved, and if it's at all possible to address them NOW as fans instead of after a shafting, it might be a good idea.

Even if it don't work, it's something to do, and worth a try - cause some of us were all over the advertisers and the network when they started mulling cancellation, while others were believing that cancellation would never happen due to the quality of the show.
(To give em credit, it STILL doesn't make sense..)

So I have concerns, is not now the time to act on them ?

PS. and no, i'm not very nice folk, in case ya hadn't noticed.

Ok, a general question (or 5)...

Is there anything we're going to really freak out about in general? There was talk, after all the publicity photos without Book and Inara, that they might have much smaller parts (ie. be 'written out' of most of the movie)

Is there anything like that? Any drastic personality changes that don't make sense?

Basically, is it still the same little 'verse we've come to know and love, or are there any significant changes we should be prepared for?
