I'd like to see what happens to the Mal/River relationship especially as she would be spending lots of time (alone) on the bridge with Mal. I'm sure that development would put Simon's nose out of joint ;)

Mal always seemed to have quite a deep connection with River (on Firefly) which Joss really developed as the major theme with Serenity. Now that River is a little more stable I would really like to see where that led. It would also impact the Inara/Mal dynamic I'm sure.

Besides the previously mentioned everything...the Mal/River possibilities really intrigue me (good call bullet!). Not necessarily a physical relationship, but more of the dynamic we saw at the end of the BDM.

In addition...I'd like to see the return of the Lion...Jubal Early and Mrs. Malcolm Reynolds (can you say potential crewmembers).

Oh and just in case you all haven't figured it out yet and you want to know how to 'Hold the Line' and 'be a Browncoat', look to FollowMal...the beating heart of this board and my friend.

We will hold...we hold till Mal gets back.

the story arcs and character development can go wherever the writers want to take us.

Must have Nathan Fillion. Not negotiable.
Not so cranky as in the movie, more like he
is in the series. Was. Is. Ugh, I'm getting
confused. ...Will be?

A strengthening (platonic) relationship between River and Mal would also affect Zoe, not only would River be replacing Wash as pilot but also possibly upsurping her position as Mal's right hand woman...

Although Mal is too honorable to take advantage of River, I'm sure that there must be a smidgeon of infatuation from her side - she's 17 and OMG just look at him!!!

I definitely want to see the return of Saffron and Badger even Niska - gotta love those recurring villans. Actually Saffon's 2 for 0, so I'm sure that she would want her revenge.

Personally I'd love to see more of the Alliance and why people think they're so bad. Not just the crew either.

All we've got is Mal's impression on them, but heck! He's a petty thief and a smuggler. Of course he isn't gonna like them, he fought against them in the war.

Something forcing Mal to work with the Alliance would be sweet, and him having some sort of pseudo-epiphany that not ALL Alliance people are bad. Just the government as a whole. :)

I'd also like to see more about the crew's family. Is Zoe alone now? Where's Jayne's mother that she needs money he sends home? Did Kaylee's parents even know she was signing up for a crew that wasn't entirely on the level? How are they holdling up to the fact that their kids are criminals?

Aw, man. If we're gonna ask for something...

I'd also like to see more of the War for Independence/Unification. Possibly from other vets (Alliance too!) and how they're related to Mal and Zoe. That storyline is never gettin old.

And more nekkid Mal. Lots more. And more and more and more. Nothin' better.

Hey all,

Oh how the wacky stories with ribcages in them would ensue.

hmmm... quickly AND SPOILERS

I would love to see more on Books past. I always thought of his old cronies finding out about his death and come looking for Mal. …and he was part of good faction of the alliance and had to get out…

Is River always super girl now or triggered…

The operative has a last minute appearance and sacrifices his life to save the crew to fulfill his honor.

Zoe loses touch as Mal finds his

Kaylee teaches Simon how to be non-robotic

Jayne is just Jayne

A billion more…..

I'd like just a little bit more of EVERYTHING you guys have mentioned so far.

However, I think we'd see Mal and the gang further on the firnges. If the series, beg pardon, WHEN the series comes back, it will be in the aftermath of the events in the BDM. THe Alliance is PO'd, and they'll be coming after the BDHs. That means they'll have to hide a bit. That means fringes. Then again, some of their most enjoyable hijinks took place on those types of worlds, so I'm all for it.

1. The Operative returns as a new Shepherd. Let's see: He can be called... Shepherd Magazine. No mystery now as to why he is so sorry for all he's done, which is less than fun, but we need a Shepherd on board.

2. They take a new passenger on board for a couple of episodes who falls madly for Kaylee. She's flattered and intrigued, and of course eternally cheerful, driving Simon into a fit of jealousy that takes half the season to work itself out.

3. Jayne (temporarily) falls hook, line and sinker for a babe they meet in a port. The romance is a quick failure, but it makes him start thinking, in Jayne terms at least, about settling down. With someone. But he doesn't know who. He makes a couple of halfhearted attempts at making that someone Zoe, only to be thoroughly trounced. But you can see a change in how he views women. A very small change.

4. I like the idea of a few more heists, where something inevitably goes wrong, but everything turns out OK in the end because our BDHs are so good at improv.

5. More chance encounters with Alliance forces. Every time that happens, you'll notice Mal is careful for human life. (Think about Bushwacked. Think how concerned he was that nobody else should die, not even Alliance soldiers.) Mal meets up with a few key Alliance officers, each of whom ends up owing him something - a life, a command, a ship. Great setup for the climax of Season 3 or 4.

1. Toss out everything that was in Serenity (movie)

2. continue from where the series left off

I'd like to see some exposition as to why Inara left her path, and also see her unbend a little bit...like Simon, she's so composed and serious most of the time that the times when she's not are so much more compelling. I'd like to see Kaylee get really mad about something and kick a little ass engineer-style. I'd like to see the group pull off something a little more like a con than a heist...they have some good talent for that. I'd like to see the BDH scare up some cash to clone Wash and reboot his memories, "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" style. Book, I can do without. Wash, though...the lack of his humor and heart will leave the show woefully unbalanced.

I didn't get the sense that River's "flash" of Book's thoughts were related to her, or to Jayne, in any way. I think it was just a glimpse of something Book had done in the past, an indication that at some point in time he was a ruthless killer or bounty hunter who didn't care whether the people he sought were innocent or not. The flashes she had of the other BDH weren't related to her except for Jayne's. I see that as more of an exception, his betrayal of her was foremost in his mind, as was Zoe & Wash's lust for each other and Mal and Inara's despair.
