*blinks* Who? Me? Does a deleted scene count as a spoiler?

1st off.. I don’t see a replacement for book coming.. Book was just there people came to like him but he had no real role.. Besides a plot device of what the ethical thing to do was and providing knowledge when the writers needed to explained something. He always seemed to know something about anything.

Personally I don’t think the operative committed seppuku I think he just kneeled down outside serenity's engines and when she took off he turned into a crispy critter

I would like to see river piloting for a while.. She wont be as good as Wash.. Putting limits on what they can do.. Meanwhile he could be searching for a new pilot...

and then either find one or just settles for river.. Also by putting river in the pilots seat it takes her all mighty power out of normal heists.. Really its too powerful of a charter. and an all mighty character always destroys an otherwise good story You need limitations for them to overcome.

I hope badger is alive.. He may of been killed by the op when he was destroying all safe harbors of Serenity .. hell he nuked Whitefall and Patience was not a friend. He would never join a crew hes too happy with his lil crime syndicate to bother with real work. Let alone having someone else as his boss.. Though he does have a thing for River.

The computer nerd is a big option.. Trying to help with the navigation and hacking while on jobs and so on... Would be a good choice.. Maybey Mal will rent out the otehr shuttle to some surveyor or somethin.. Or the Doc and kaylee could convert it into a mobile clinic..

Think about it, nobody on the ship can cook, as someone alse said a while back, so this would make sense.

2. The Inventor
Now, this might be rejected by most of you, but I think it might be good, having an inventor onboard. he could be inventing all these little gadgets for everyone, some working well and some... not so much. And those faulty ones could occasionally get the crew into some trouble on the ship, which could put him/her on some of the crews bad side. I like the idea, might even write some kinda fanfic, but don't hold your breath, I ain't so much with the sticking to my word on things like that.

I'm thinking they need a Computer Nerd... sort of speak. Sort of your Inventor but instead of being able to create it himself he can only design by computer... Think about it... someone who could design durn near everything but... for some reason his hands don't obey his mind real well and it doesn't come out nearly as well as planned... That's where Kaylee comes in... she knows mechanics like it's breathing air...

But for some odd reason when he gets into cooking he knows how to cook some serious steak...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now that I'm liking, a computer whiz kid with a penchance to cook, surprising everybody, and even getting on Jayne's good side. And make him pretty enough to be another possible crush of Kaylee's?

I always said Kaylee seemed to be better matched with Tracy than Simon. Imagine the tension between new science whiz/cook, Kaylee and Simon? Oooo, tension a plenty. And if need be let him be an indentured stowaway from Canton that Jayne feels automatically protective of because a) The boys a fan of his, and b) Jayne feels guilty for the trouble he'd caused on Canton.

If you don't like the Kaylee, Simon, whizkid tension, he could always be a love interest of River's, make him young enough. Hell, maybe he's so withdrawn from his harsh life as a slave River would be the one to draw him out, quoting funny Wash lines to get him more comfortable. Inarah would be there to coach River. Expand your mind enough and River can use her psychic senses to see Book and Wash who help her out, thus River being able to quote Wash and gaining the knwoledge to preach like Book. Maybe too much.

There's your story boys. As for a new Shepard, I think it would be an insult to our own Book to have him replaced. They did that on Star Trek all the time. Never liked it.

If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting.

I just wanted to edit my post, because I'm so liking this idea. Mal would look for a way to keep Inarah on his boat, and a scared indentured slave who needed protection and guidance would be the thing, as Inarah would stay to help and(in her way) mother the boy by helping River. Hmmm, if anyone makes a story out of this part of the idea was mine.

Just sayin' is all.

One thing to consider is that Joss doesn't have to bring back two replacement characters. A pilot, yes (River's too valuable in other ways to waste her talents driving the bus) but with Inara sticking around and not doing the "companion" thing as much (if at all) she's a new character in some ways. What could be interesting is if the pilot was a woman as earlier suggested so there could be some tension between Inara and the "new gal" in Mal's life. BTW, the "married" relationship that was so cool about the show could be picked up nicely with Simon and Kaylee if not married then very much boyfriend/girlfriend--at least for a while. Hmmm, wonder if River might get a bit jealous of this after a while. Could lead to some interesting story sub-plots.

Oh, and no cook please! Last thing we need is another Neelix!

Mycroft, you'll note what was suggested was a genius computer whiz who just happened to have a skill to cook. As I see it he impresses Mal and Zoe and Kaylee by helping break codes (and that could mean rooms and ships with lots of nice cashable shinies inside) but gets the rest of the crew by making a protien cake with frosting that is as chocolaty as you can make it, by making it even more chocolaty than you can make it, if you catch my drift.

If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting.

What if the new character was a female? She could clear up things from Book's past if she were, let's say, his daughter? He wasn't always a preacher...I personally think she should be milado (sp?), long brown hair, and feisty. She can kick ass and shoot a gun pretty damn well. Why? Because she is her father's daughter. I would love if Mal fell in love with her. I'm sorry, but I'm tired of the Inara/Mal love fest. It's boring.

Mal: You *want* me to sleep with her? That make you feel better?
Wash: It might!
Mal: Imagine it'd do wonders for her, too.
Wash: Screw you!
Mal: Get in line!

Okay, so, they need a new pilot, so, they find somebody who is a good one... yeah. Just kidding, it's better thought out than that.

Now, we also need a new Shepherd. Okay, so bare with me, but it makes sence. Jayne is the new Shepherd. I know I know, he's stupid, but hey, he's gonna have a change. Jayne is going to have a revelation in the new season and he'll discover God in a new and very funny way.

He'll become very interesting in God, and the Bible, which is when he discovers that Book left his Bible on Serenity. Jayne starts to read it and tries to explain to the rest of the crew about it... failing misserably at first when he tries to be judgemental and preachy. But succeeds when he discovers that using biblical stories and truths with love is the best way to help people.

I think this idea is Hi-larious!!!
It fits in with all those conversations he had with Book about what it's like to be a shepherd.
Yes, he'd have to give up women, unless he fell in love and found an order where you could get married.....
But he wouldn' thave to give up guns...... we all know how well Book could use guns.......

So Shiny!!!
