Yup, must have Summer Glau. Not negotiable. :) No, seriously, I agree, captain really needs to be Nathan. And Kaylee cannot be someone else, either. And River really needs to be Summer. And I can frankly not imagine another actress for Zoe, either.

Without Simon, there can be no River; and without River, well, there's no FireFly.

Also, I really think Sean Maher is a fantastic actor. Saw Serenity (the episode) again, last night. The way he approaches River, as she comes out of the box, his hands half-trembling, as he knows not good what to do, how to calm her down, that is the work of an ingenius actor.

Also watched River's performance closely again. And, even in acting, she makes Sean, though gifted, look like an idiot child. You should see her face, as Mal shoots Dobson: shock, bewilderment, unbelief and overload. Summer Glau is, by far, the best actress I've ever seen. We've come a far way since the days of, say, Marilyn Monroe, where all the pretty girl could do was be pretty and pout her lips.

Sigh. River is the sort of person I could get obsessed about... Oh wait, I already am. :)

I think the chances of River turning into a totally normal, boring person are very slim. She was interesting when she was a tiny child, before they made her crazy!

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.

I don't know if you listen to the firefly podcast, FireflyTalk, but on it, they played a clip of Joss in Australia. Melbourne, I believe it is, but not sure. Anyways, he said that, if/when the show were to return in any form (movie or series) that Alan Tudyck (sp?) would definately be coming back. And, no, not in that cheesy, twin-brother sort of way. So....

I don't exactly know what's gonna happen, or if [[] anything is going to happen (though I'd much prefer it if something did.) but we might not have seen the last of Alan/Wash.

Oh, and asarian, I was thinking along the lines of what they did to her at that dreaded Academy.

And to whoever put something about River seeking out Jayne, you're right, that would be hi-larious.

Cheers,

Yeah; "This whole conclusion is fallacious." I keep quoting that on people in real-life situations. :) It's always a hoot, and they don't all die from it.

I feel the opposite way. Wash, while being a fun character, was not integral to the story as anything but a good getaway pilot which River's intuition will probably make up for in leaps and bounds.

Simon, on the other hand, is perhaps one of the best characters to grace a TV/movie screen, and Sean acts him out wonderfully. I mean the guy gives up EVERYTHING he had on a hunch when it would have been much easier to take his parent's route and ignore it. Although I'm not entirely convinced they weren't aware of the whole plot.

I think, in the movie, when Simon gets shot that scared me more than the other crew mates' injuries because it did seem like a moment he could die and it would have fit him because he'd already given up everything saving lives his own is the last he can give.

The world would be a much better place with more Simons running around.

Any firefly fans in the Kansas City, Missouri area?

I'm just gonna jump right in here...

I believe it was supposed to be about eight months between the last epiosode and the movie. And things for the crew were a lot worse when we caught up with them in the movie. What went on in those eight months? I'd like to know. Maybe when the series returns, if everyone in the cast is available and willing, Joss could show us some of that, eh? Might squeeze two whole seasons out of it. Then he could just move past the movie and see what happens. Or we could bypass the movie entirely and continue with whomever wanted to stay on-board. Anyone who wants out would be killed off in a loud, military manner.

I'd actually like to see more of the war and where Mal and Zoe went, what they did between the end of the war and the pilot episode.

Also, more of Jayne's background could be good, maybe even an entire episode dealing with his defection to Mal's crew, reminisced in Out Of Gas. And we need a chance to explore Jayne's motivations, see his home world and meet his family.

I don't believe we can expect to see Wash again unless Joss fills in the time frame between OIS and the movie. Or Shepard Book, for that matter.

On another note:

We all know Mal was a spiritual man in the begining. In the pilot, during the Battle of Serenity, at one point he kisses a crucifix he is wearing and at another point he states that "We are just to pretty for God to let us Die." Or something really close to that. The message is clear, God will protect us because ours is a just and righteous cause. We all know the Browncoats lost at Serenity Valley and, ultimately, the war. Mal seems to have had very strong faith in what little we are shown of that time, then, ten minutes later (in the pilot), it's gone. No mystery there, he prayed and believed and lost anyway. Losing that big would shake anybody's faith.

As far as Jayne and the St. Christopher's medallion, in The Message, when he's lifting weights in the cargo hold and the preacher is saying his words, Jayne comments that "The Lord should outta look after the dead." Spirituality, plain and simple.

Just a few thoughts.

PS- If my signature quote is wrong, I'll fix it... no need to correct it for me, thanx.

And I'd like to be the king of all Londania and wear a shiny hat. - Mal

All these ideas are good, though I might amend "more nekkid Mal" to "more nekkid Inara" but that's beside the point. What's this is demonstrating to me is what I thought all along: that this show is great, and will continue to be great, becuase the characters Joss created are truly well-rounded people. They have lives and stories and they make us want to know them. In terms of where Serenity takes themm, I could care less, as long as I'm along for the ride. I know Joss won't let us down.

Well all your reponses gave me more to think about so:

I'd like to see some more about Jayne. I mean, besides Jaynestown, you never really see him deveolp much depth. He's pretty much been the merc who only cares about himself. Who is his mom? Why does he not get letters from his dad too? Is his dad alive, or did he die? How did his dad make a living? Was he a smuggler, Alliance soldier, Shepard. or even a slave? What about the rest of his family? He got a brother, sister? It would be funny for Jayne to get all protective over HIS sister (I'm sure Simon could get some jokes in).

Fist of all, I want to see the known cast, and then I'm 50% Happy with that .

I Think Joss will create a sectacular new season, so I don't wanna grab into his work. Of course, I want to know more about the shepherds idetity, and the experiments, done to River.

Last but not least, I want to remind everyone who's a real browncoat to sign this.
