I just saw the 3 unaired episodes. I was hoping they'd really start to explain the mystery behind who the Shepherd really is or who he is working for. Too bad the series ended before this happened. Anyone ever read anything from Joss or anyone else as to where they might have been taking this?

I am hoping once the first season comes out on DVD it will be so popular and gain more new fans that the demand for new shows will get it back on tv. What a great show. I can't believe Sci-Fi didn't pick it up. I guess they couldn't afford it. Could have been their #1 hit show.

In one of the last features on the official FOX site, Minear said he was working on a story about Book's past and when asked if he had connections to the Alliance, he responded (paraphrased): "It won't be what you think."

Yeah, I just watched that actually. Just makes me wonder even more what they were planning. Doh.

There is that very interesting scene where Inara tends Book's injury ... that scene ends with what looks like Inara giving Book a benediction. Very interesting and a lot of potential for character development.

I also like the way Book handles a gun.

Yes, I really loved the religious icon bending in that scene. So much potential in Books story.
GORRAM FOX!

I like the relationship between Book and Jayne, they seem to have a lot in common.

They both Work out together and can handle themselves in a fight(I like how Book disarmed Dobson in the pilot episode).

They both know a lot about crime.(Jayne observed Book knew much about crime in "Our Mrs Reynolds")

I think this was a type of warrior to warrior respect type of friendship developing and I was looking forward to seeing it unfold.

Anyone else thinking along these lines?

Jayne - Ya'll might want to reconsider that last part, see I married me a powerful ugly creature.

Mal - How can you say that! How can you shame me in front of new people!

Jayne - If I could make you prettier I would!

Calhoun,
Sometimes people don't respond because they agree with you. It's the one who have a strongly different opinion who always jump in with a quick response.

I know that I noticed the building relationship between Book and Jayne early on too. It was a subtle thing, but surfaced more obviously in The Message.

I liked where I saw it heading. In some of the eps you could see respect from Jayne growing as Book demonstrated the kind of skills that Jayne admires - kneecapping, disarming people etc. I seem to remember suggestions that Jayne might be a tad religious too although I can't recall if he ever bows his head for grace at table.
