You want to read the script in the Visual Companion...many a Mal and 'Nara scene were cut, cut, cut.

what I expected: operative would be killed.
what happened: operative's life spared.

what i expected: everybody is ok.
what happened: book and wash died.

what i expected: mr. universe being somewhat of a bad guy. (judging from the trailer)
what happended: total good guy.

what i expected: jayne to get into a one sided battle with wash judging from the trailer. (jayne is like an ox in comparison)
what happened: some random guy from the bank hiest.

but i'll have to read that screenplay from the visual companion. i think im afraid b/c i cried while reading about wash's fate. i hate crying, but joss makes me do it anyway. it's a funny thing we go thru every no and again...

I could be remembering incorrectly, but after Mr. Universe's conversation with Mal, he turns to The Operative and says something like "Where's my money?" or something like that. If that is true, not very good guy behavior in my opinion but, again, I could be remembering this COMPLETLEY wrong.

Mr. Universe said something like, "Toss me my thirty coin, but I'm telling you arrrghh!"

I think it was pretty clear that he was coerced into betrayal, not that he was bought. The reference to Judas' payment I took as ironic.

Thanks, I'll look into that.

Cheers to you 2 DonCoat!

Wow...ok, so Mr. Universe is two face...I can deal. I still like him.

And the crew knew that it was a trap...but it's Mr. U's fault for Wash's demise...one less brownie point for Mr. U.

Small point...I'm pretty sure Mr. Universe said something to the effect of "toss me my bag of 30 coin...I've got a noose waiting [stab]." A seeming reference to the motivation and fate of Judas Iscariot in his betrayal of Christ. I think the "coin" might have been metaphorical.

My 2 bits...

I thought it a metaphor too. However, there really was no trap by Mr. U's place. The trap was a fleet waiting that they knew about, and brought their own surprise. It was in no way his fault Wash died. The Reavers just ended up getting him.

erb, related nitpick. Getting shot in the gut *and* hopping up and around... A physical impossibility.

Given the freedom to do so, anarchy will result in an organic organization unto itself.

The trailer gave way too much away! Oh, look, Mal's bringing a fleet of reavers with him to fight the Alliance, prolly just a sub plot! "They won't be expecting this!" Yeah, but I was.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.
