I think the movie answered not only River's story, but Book's too, however, it never clearly tells Book's story, leaving much to interpret!

I love a good debate, and without all the facts, you can argue for and against a great many things, and then sit back and laugh about the possibility you're all wrong! That is what is nice about hanging. And it always leaves you wanting more, and as long as we want more, there is a chance there will be more.

Bring closure to all 9 characters, and well, then what?

Let the story live on in the minds and hearts of fans. When Joss is ready and the time is right, he'll give us more...and if he can't or won't? SO what? He's given us so much. So much thought-provoking entertainment I could go on for years speculating the "what if"s.

Hanging is not such a bad place to be. Things happen when you live on the edge. Not an ideal place, but certainly interesting. And me, I've never been one to move away from the edge...

BWAH!

Personally, I prefer a nice clean bit of closure. And I'm not saying that every single story has to end, but that there has to be some kind of feeling of finality so that if another story isn't made, there can still be some sort of an ending. Like the Firefly DVD, for example. The last episode, "Objects In Space", gives a nice wrap-up to the crew's acceptance of River. It just felt like that could've been an ending if the movie was never made. Same with the movie for that matter. The end of the movie could pass for an ending to the series. Joss, by no means, closed up everything so that no more stories could be made, but there is a sense that if that's the end of the story, then there's enough closure there. That's what I meant by not wanting to be left hanging. I don't want the last Firefly/Serenity story told to be one in which it feels like there needs to be some kind of a conclusion.

I do agree with you about Book's story. I like the fact that we don't know every detail about his past and that we're free to imagine the missing pieces. Some things in life are a mystery and I think it's cool that we get to experience some of that mystery in Firefly/Serenity.

Oh, I totally agree. He did a wonderful job of closure in both the series and the movie...the comics, not so much, but they were *prequelish* and that tends to leave closure loose on purpose.

One of things I loved most about the series was the fact that going into it (i.e. Serenity episode) you know very little about the crew, and those mysteries kept me hooked. The friend who introduced me to the series on DVD, was nearly excommunicated by me when I finished watching Objects in Space and I found out there wasn't anymore! Ironically, I got on line 2 days later and found this very site and found out that the movie was going to be made!

I just hope whatever Kaylee's big secret is, that it isn't something like she used to be a boy...'cuz y'know, her secret has to be the scariest of all!

BWAH!

$2-$5 fee is reasonable but no one is going to film anything based on feel-good fans who 'say' they will pay... what the fanbase needs to do is get the money before hand (collect from all the fans) and give that $100 million to the producers to make the next series, etc.
