"Trash" is written by Ben Edlund and Jose Molina, directed by Vern Gillum. And quoting A.B. on the official board for the plot...

Suffice to say: Mal and Saffron have a reunion, and Inara isn't pleased. Zoe smacks Saffron in the jaw.... etc.
There's so much we're missing.

Obviously we are really missing out on some great episodes!
Joss please get them on the air somehow, someway!

"The Magnificent Seven," based on Akira Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai," dealt with a poor farming village that was always being raided by outlaws. They save up their money and go to a famous gunslinger, asking to hire him to protect the village the next time the raiders come through. The leader assembles seven experts in various lethal professions and they help train the villagers to fight as well. They then beat off the raiders when they show up. So I'd imagine this episode has to do with the prostitutes hiring the Firefly crew to help them fend off some guys that are stealing from or abusing them.

i think it's doubtful that monty reynolds will be mal's son... or even brother. the actor franc ross is an older gentleman. here is his profile at the internet movie database:
http://us.imdb.com/Name?Ross,+Franc
my guess is that he would be mal's father, maybe uncle - tho it is possible he could be a(n) (very) older brother.
hope this fills in some of the mystery.... i'm hoping that if nothing else joss will give us a dvd collection of firefly with all the eps produced.... be a great selling point (see the unseen final episodes - only on DVD!)
hint hint.
cheers

Enterprise did a truly horrible Magnificent Seven-like episode this season. They took an awesome premise and turned it into the most joyless, boring and inept story I've seen come out of the Star Trek camp yet. I swear the writers for Enterprise are mere paycheck collectors.
I'm looking forward to seeing the Whedon/Mutant Enemy take on the Magnificent Seven concept... if indeed that's what this episode is about. I'm certain there's an unexpected tweak or two in there somewhere.

Gawd, I love that kind of thing. I keep trying to tell myself that what I don't know can't hurt me, but this is like having bees under my skin.

well of course enterprise sucks... you do know of course that the writing crew features alumni of such classics as "team knight rider" [David A. Goodman] and "baywatch" [André & Maria Jacquemetton].
really i think it's that star trek and star wars have just become so full of being religions of themselves that they forgot they were supposed to be entertaining.
one of the reasons firefly was so refreshing.
cheers

p.s. let it be known that i for one, greatly enjoy the character of kaylee - even tho polls show that most of you don't!

Anyone else have some tidbits or morsels re: the unaired three episodes?
Did Minear direct the final ep?
I'm starving over here!

Just thought I'd add to the pile this info from a recent eBay sale of these scripts:
Quote:
"Heart of Gold" - Mal and the crew come to the aid of a brothel besieged by a ruthless land baron.
"Trash" - The return of the character 'Saffron' from the earlier episode "Our Mrs. Reynolds". Here the scheming villainess has a job for the Serenity crew. Can she be trusted?
"The Message" - Written by exec producers Joss Whedon and Tim Minear. The crew must deliver the corpse of an old war comrade home, but things are not as they seem.
Wanna see 'em. Wanna see 'em NOW!!!
