I've no idea what to mark as a spoiler. Assuming everyone here has seen the trailer, or doesn't mind knowing about it I won't mark my post. I haven't seen anything of the movie other than the trailer - these are just my thoughts on what I saw...

The shot in the trailer with Serenity apparently flying between two sets of opposing forces... My take on that:

It's Alliance and Reavers. Just before Mal says something like 'this they won't see coming'. I think he brings the reavers down on Serenity and then high-tails towards the Alliance, so that the Reavers and the Alliance hit head on... pretty damn cool it that is what happens!


Can't wait! Can't wait!

6.) My wild speculation about the reavers is that they are in league WITH the Alliance.. Tho I'm not sure why that would make sense, but it sure would be a nifty twist! :)

I wouoldn't be surprised if the Alliance knew about Reavers, and were somehow involved with them.

True...River hasnt actually done anything wrong. In the eyes of the Alliance I guess.

Mal, knowing that he can't fight the Reavers OR the Alliance in a head-on fight. . .and CERTAINLY not BOTH, he decides that perhaps warning the Alliance of the Reavers or somesuch plan as that will get the heat off him for the sake of River. I get the distinct impression from the trailer that Mal has become very devoted to keeping her safe.

I'm leaning in the same direction... IMO the Reavers would never team up with Mal & co...they're incapable of reason. It seems more like Mal's sneeked in and poked the Reavers in the butt, and the Alliance too, then both big lots turn around pissed and see each other.

And the shot is....Alliance one side, and Reavers the other, and Serenity in the middle...maybe like they're caught in the middle?

True... the ID card he used in 'Bushwhacked' could've been a very good fake ID, and the *real* Book could be a wanted man. I'm not so sure, though.
