It seems people are starting many different threads here in regards to questions, opinions, and other experiences related to having seen Serenity at the advanced preview.

I thought maybe a single place to put them might be helpful, and have named it the same as the "I've Seen Serenity" thread on the official site for some continuity.

So, let's post away, and again, if you have not seen the film, and want to remain spoiler free.... TURN AWAY NOW!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Question for those who seen the film bit of a spoiler:

Okay... according the beignning Simon snuck in and broke river out of the Alliance's grp. Now in the Pilot I understood it that "two men" got her out to Persephone in cryo and Simon picked her up and paid them off. These two are not totally unreconcilable..... but I wondered if this struck anyone else....

Yeah, Simon is shown getting River out as it was quicker, basically. It told you Simon cares about River, showed you her being held captive and rescued, and showed you about The Alliance and The Operative - all in a few minutes of screen time.

Obviously, running time is something SERENITY struggles with - there's LOADS of story here, and very little time. So if we had to have a slight change in the history to deliver the story, I'm fine with that.

And remember: Mal shoots first.

You forget, someone had to be flying that transport.

Right, Someone had to be flying. Plus, he may have gotten her out of the facility, then had others sneak her off world to meet him on Persephone. They'd be looking for them both together so spliting up may have been necessary.

I was at the screening in Phoenix a few nights back. Nathan Fillion is a genius, by the way.

So here's the question that's been troubling me. I saw that the operative and his men hit Haven, and Whitefall. There were other plants involved, too. What were they? Did anyone catch them? It seems like there were names, but I missed them. Mostly I wonder if Patience and Badger would still be breathing.

Thoughts?

All i can say of the movie is.....WOW, Just Wow.

Once i had a day or two to absorb it all i understand why both Book and Wash had to eat it. Book's death was the catalyst and though we will now never find out Books Secret, there wouldnt be enough time to explore that further ( plus they might show that in the comic books). and Wash, poor wash, his death was just to show that ANY of the BDH can go at any time out there in the black.....i just hope Zoe is carrying his kid

I was a little dissapointed at Inara in the movie. It didn't feel like she was involved, there was no throughline on her character, and she never got moments. During the huge fight at the end, there wasn't really a shot of her by herself, to keep up with her.

All true (except I thought she had some of the funniest lines in the whole film, just not enough of them), but at least she's back on board at the end and there will probably be more of her in the sequel.

EDIT: I have to add that, while there are some fans on other threads and venues saying that "Serenity" is obviously the end of the franchise, I couldn't disagree more. This is just my personal impression, but "Serenity" reminded more of the finale of season two of Buffy than anything else - at least in spirit, if not in the exact details. Of course, season two of Buffy was followed by the even more impressive season three. Frankly, if anything, I think that "Serenity" sets the stage for an even more impressive sequel. I certainly don't see "Serenity" as the end of everything, at all - no way.

I think we did, rather indirectly, find out Book's secret. I think Book was an Operative at one point, and had fallen out of favor for one reason or another. His comments about faith and belief matched up so well with what The Operative said. This would also explain his status with the Alliance, and his vast knowledge of military tactics and weapons. Just a thought.
