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?

Yup, me too. Nathan has to be Mal. Couldn't replace any of our crew. But Nathan is essential.

I'd like to see...

Inara's past. I *heart* Inara. Also, just more about the guild in general.

Zoe's past, and how she is dealing with Wash's death. We really don't know much about her, all things considered.

Unexplored crew relationships. We know Kaylee and Inara are buddies and that Mal was forced to deal with everyone... but how about having some scene where Zoe and Inara have to work together? Or River and Wash? (well, assuming Wash is mysteriously alive as promised...)

Like a true Whedon fan, I'd like to see Mal and Inara get together and then be ripped brutally apart by circumstances beyond there control, which will leave them still pining for each other, but with my intensity and regret than ever (what can I say? I was bored with Buffy and Angel together. I liked them apart...)

Simon relaxing a little bit. Perhaps there will be swearing involved?

The crew dealing with River now that she is at least somewhat functional. Can they accept her? Trust her? How will River cope? Does she consider this a good change or bad (the obvious answer is good - but it's still a stressful change, and most everyone gets unhappy when they have to deal with those)? How will this effect her outlook on the future, her goals? How will it effect her relationships with people? Will she crave romantic love?

Mal struggling with faith. I'm not saying I want him to turn religous -- I don't think he ever can be again -- but I want to explore what faith meant to him, how much or little he wishes he had it back....

More war stories (especially the funny ones).

Jayne's moral education. Now he knows that if you can't do something good, you should do something right. But will he ever learn what right is? Can his brain learn this? Or is he destined to a life of amorality forever. Also, more with Jayne and whores. I loved his scenes with Helen in HoG. Maybe he could end up with her somehow? That'd be cool.

The darker aspects of smuggling. What does Mal do when he's faced with starving v. smuggling drugs or weapons?

Reavers -- are they still around?

The sweet relationship of Simon and Kaylee. I see them as Willow/Tara - we can see them together for a season or two without getting bored, in contrast to Mal/Inara's Buffy/variouslove -- they must suffer, they just must. I'm not saying that Kaylee and Simon shouldn't suffer (well, they shouldn't because they are sweet and good, but for the sake of drama...), but, you know, they can suffer while being in relationship instead of loving what one cannot have....

More ambivelance towards the Alliance. Season one took a strong anti-alliance stance. They played with River's brain. They crushed Mal's spirit. They are a bad bunch. But Joss says in the BDM commentary that they are basicly a benevolent sourse. I'd like to see more of that, put Mal in the tought position where he is forced to question his prejudices....

I'd also like to see the further exploration of the biggest mystery on the show: Blue Sun. Who are they? What are they? What are they doing? What do they want? Seriously.

Okay, I will stop now. *cries because there is so much story left untold... and then goes back to writing fanfic*

"Objects in Space"
River: It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think...

In earnest, ForeverShiny, it's indeed doubtful, as I pointed out myself in another thread today, that Book was really talking to River directly. More likely, I always thought, he was thinking about something he did in his own past. I just know how shocked I was when I saw him being so brutal in the direction of River; just a whole lot of latent evilness that I care not to see River exposed to, is all. So, I would like to believe that Book's "I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not" thought was directed at Jayne; cuz I do not like the alternative. :)

As for River in a ship, well, y'all know how I feel about that. :( I think Mal should be with Inara, a woman of his own age, and not be taking advantage of a broken 17 year old girl. :( But I stand rather alone in that belief, it seems. Sigh. Did not mean to spoil the mood. Sorry.

Oh, I think she's been exposed to more evilness than that of Book's past....Ooops, there goes what I think of what he was!

I happen to agree with you on that. Mal and Inara, all the way. It not only is canon, but, to me, the idea of him with River in a not-big-brother sort of way, is just...weird, honestly. I think he sees her as a little girl who can hold her own but still needs a...well, not protector, exactly , but...

what would I like to see?

well, read some fanfic and stuff, fan scenarios and stuff and I eralized what I don't want to see - same story repeating over and over again. I don't want to see FF turn into Star Trek or something like that.
It need character development, it needs new twists and turns and relationships between them changing.
As for char. deaths - I miss Book, don't miss Wash that much. Sure, he was funny and stuff but IMHO he was a minor character. I like Jayne better
So, when the show returns, I intend to see some more quality sci-fi, some more quality acting and more wacky fun

if life were a Lucasarts adventure:
Use CHAINSAW on BOSS. PULL CORPSE. OPEN WASTE DISPOSAL UNIT. USE CORPSE on UNIT. CLOSE DOOR.
USE LIGHTER on CIGARE

Which is? :) Please, fill me in! I'm a little slow on the uptake, it seems.

Yeah; precisely! Mal is like a big brother to River (or even a sort of father figure). The way Mal calls her "little one", or when he picks her up off the floor in the Maidenhead, and carries her in his arms, that feels very right to me; shipping with her doesn't.

Two things I'd really like to see:

First, an Un-clip show. Instead of simply rerunning old bits from old episodes, actually get the people to re-act the scenes, and, this is the most important part, GET THEM WRONG. Just imagine Jayne remembering just about anything Simon says! Poor ole' Simon'd have to say everything in short words with cussin' and crude language, seein's that's all Jayne can articulate.

Second, sometime in the late second season, I'd like to see River start hunting Jayne romantically. Seriously, what could be funnier than a hulking mercenary cowering in fear in his bunk from a ninety pound, eighteen year old telepath girl who just wants to cuddle?

Whatever it ends up as, no matter the form it takes, I'll be watching it obsessively I'm sure. Even if I had to stay up until the wee hours of the afternoon (I'm a night-shifter, so...) just to watch a timelapse of a camera recording the buildup of grime on the grates in the cargo bay. ;p

Seriously, though, there's some really good ideas I've read above me. The con idea sounds great, more of stuff like in Ariel and the like. Yo/Saff/Bridge is always good for a laugh...
More background on all the characters of course is always great.
Liked the idea in one of the post's regarding Kaylee up and leaving her home. Still got a crush on Kaylee, so anything where she gets to do stuff is just shiny.
The whole Mal/Inara almost seems like one of those things where you don't even see them kiss until the series finale after five or six seasons. Be interesting to see where Joss would take that, what course he'd go.
Of course seeing River's development and her role in the crew post-BDM is intriguing. Likely see her participating in the heists more often, much to the chagrin of Simon...

Hey Rhyianan,

I would like to see all those things happen, too. Although a completely sane River takes away a bit of her charm, I think. I do not want her to remain psychotic, of course, as I really only want what's best for her; but I don't want her to turn into just the girl next door, either (unless your girl next door is a cute little crazy person, he).

Does Inara have a secret, too? :) Blue Sun, yes, I think there's a lot to explore there (which, no doubt, involves River, story wise). And while they're at it, they might as well explain the Blue Hands.

I want to go into the 'courtship' of Zoe and Wash. They're complete opposites, she didn't care for him when he first came aboard, and she has such alligence with Mal. How he broke through her reserves, got her interested, all that.

I was NOT a happy camper when Joss killed him off. Of course, the good part is, just cuz he's dead in Joss' Verse, don't mean he's gone forever.

If I were to be the decider on who died in SERENTITY it would have been Simon. He's my least favorite.
