I have read all the ideas so far and have thoroughly enjoyed them. Here is a conglomeration of some of them with my own little take. Some of this stuff of course would only fit into the series if it were around, but mostly movie stuff. These are little possible avenues, NOT an overall plotline.

Book: Definitely need a glance at his past. And now, maybe a group he was affiliated with look to take “issue” with his demise. Book was part of some underground sect of alliance officials that do not agree with the way things were going. Must have been sort of important since Early said,”That ain’t no Shepard”.

Alliance: Judging by the fact that the movie was based on the cover-up of 30 million people being murdered, the verse must be huge. (I am sure someone has an estimate) So, the Alliance is vast. I see the majority of the Alliance being influenced (obviously) by the river creating, ultra-Special interest group that Book DID know of and where his old cronies come in to play, mentioned earlier.

Reavers: Well, there should be only about 300,000 reavers out there if tenth of a % of the population of Miranda became them. So, with the reaver ships attacking the Alliance at the end of the flick, how many are left. Surely, that could not have been all of them. Being that the Alliance troops seemed to get to Mr. Universe’s place rather quickly, I am assuming the alliance took care of business with reavers or at least gave a team enough time to get there quickly. I don’t think River and those like her were created to destroy reavers since the Alliance didn’t pay much attention to them as long as they were way out on the fringes. Being that they didn’t know they were there for the surprise attack at the end. A few will (reavers) still be out there though.

The Crew Getting’ Work: “Push down Pop up effect” New criminals will always be in full supply. Ever watch the show “The Wire”. The affect of this will be largely determined by the news that the crew made the transmission about Miranda. If so, they are BDH and on a path of the BC, if not, and the Alliance cover up story ensues, they get work and stand up to that “Heel” Mal is talking about.

Inara and Mal: They will get it on and still fight. We will delve into Inara’s past but I doubt she has secret plan that involves Mal or Serenity (just based on her crying in H.O.G.). ……and I can only hope Mal carries the same overall attitude.

Jayne: Some people never change and live day to day, that is why I like Jayne. Most of us have that friend that just says whatever he wants when he wants. Oh yeah, that is what I expect.

Wash: reflections
Simon and Kaylee: they could be happy, but it could complicate things ‘cause their deeper feelings for each other in a dangerous lifestyle.

River: Still quirky but more in control of her abilities. Now rid of the Miranda secret but has emotional issues of being a killer. What would a young girl feel like after slaughtering all those reavers. This is if she remembers that.

Operative: I see the operative coming to aid maybe when least expected or even sacrificing himself to save someone important. Since he now views himself as already dead following the “warrior code” but rejuvenated by the truth of Miranda.

Zoe: Pregnant yes… Her grief is only subsided by the knowledge of the child. Mal is freaked ‘cause he is not sure if he wants to go into situations without her or with her now.

I think that Mal and his crew will find it really hard to get work. They'll finally find a job but it turns out to be a trap set by the Alliance Parliament. They get pinned down in an awesome firefight. Zoe and Jayne are badly wounded and things start looking very grim for our Big Damn Heroes but then at the very end of the movie they are all rescued by Jar Jar Binks and his army of Gungan warriors.

(OK, so maybe I went a bit off tangent with that one)

sorry if this has already been mentioned but, Wouldn't it be awesome if Jayne had his moment in the next movie now I don't know if you are all following so I will explain. All the characters with the exception of Jayne seemed to have their shining moment. example Inara's "Those aren't incense", Mal's speeches and defeating the operative, Washs "I'm a leaf on the wind" to a certain extent. It seems to me that Jayne realy didn't have the spotlight on him that much with the exception of "Let's be bad guys" early in the movie, I would love to see a part where Jayne really get's to do somthing cool.

Jayne is the man

Jayne, the venal mercenary of the crew quotes a PREACHER, then shares a drink with his least favourite crew member. Look it up. It's one of the best hero moments in the film.

Ok, so this has no bearing on any movie possibilities, but I would have loved to see more of YoSafBrig's husband, and the only way I could see that happening is him hiring the crew to steal the Lassiter back. He even seemed like the kind who would have not problem employing the people who robbed him, I don't think he holds a grudge. Even so that would make such an interesting situation.

I've wanted to see more of that character since he said, "I appreciate your honesty ... not, you know, much."

Two things that'd be cool to see are one: more people like River.

I'd like some insight into the Shepherd's past but I don't see us finding out anymore about Book than we already know.

And number two: Badger!

I write fanfic. It's what I do.

Seems to me that River made for a relatively easy movie plot, since her story is just shouting for grand conspiracy and showdowns.

The other characters all tend to have a more quiet and complex history, and I am a little worried how they'd translate that into a movie without either switching the tone from the first movie so hard it'd be whiplash or disservicing the depth of the characters created on the show.

Movies aren't a great medium for in-depth character study, unlike TV, especially with a cast of (now) 7 main characters.

I like MissMadrassa's idea of creating a kind of spy/soldier/family-divided war story.

Giving Inara a bigger role as someone returning into the arms of the enemy, so to speak, would allow good insight into the structure of the 'verse, while having the rest of them involved in war preparations/battles/whatever on the underdog side would leave room for action and noise and darkness.

Inara could either be a spy for the Independents or genuinely trying to wreak positive change from within. Either way lies interesting moments and some angst and woe for her and Mal, not to mention possible tragedy.

Overall, methinks, the movie would have to focus on the slow taking shape (and breaking out) of changes and/or civil unrest. People would be horrified and want to know more about the Miranda message, so very slowly unbiased research would have to confirm the truth of the Pax story, in spite of the Parliament scrambling to cover it up, causing mayhem and eventually civil war.

It would just take time.

Depends on what kind of Inara flick we're talking about I guess.
