I could go on, but I'm tired. In my mind, Serenity never happened.
... Kind of like Highlander II eh? I've heard people talk about it, but ... it never happened. Not in MY universe.

Book dying was OK to further the story but I didn't like the cliche way that he died.
Oh! Mortaly wounded! But... Able to... Hang on... Till the good guys arrive... And tell them... (insert dying message), Look, a doctor... gasp... (thud) "He's gone, Jim!"
C'mon! How many times has that plot device been used and vastly over-abused? Far better to arrive back and find him already dead or if not dead than wounded such that he survives but is out of action for the rest of the movie (perhaps to return later). One of the survivors could have passed on a message or led the crew to his home where they find something to lead them to the next stage of the plot.
That was about the only scene in the movie that I though didn't belong only in that Joss tends to be far more original than that most of the time.
----------------------------------
Is it just me or did anyone else pick up on the whole phoenix vibe going on at the end of the movie?
death:
Serenity crashes (dies) and its crazy pilot Wash also dies within moments.
rebirth:
Serenity is rebuilt and River becomes much more whole/sane as she comes to terms with what the Aliance has made her into and perhaps becomes the new crazy pilot.
Well, river gets better through the whole movie, but you get the idea. 
----------------------------------
I may have lost track at the end (only saw it in theater once) but, WHO payed for Serenity to be rebuilt? I kind of got the feeling, that the Operative ordered it but I'm still not sure. An insurance company would have scrapped it...
