I so agree with all that TALONPEST says as to the unlikelyhood of integrating any of the complex villans into the movie. That said, when the series resumes (I wish, I wish) I want to know more about that wonderful character, Jubal Early. He is such a fascinating enigma.

but OTOH, isn't somehow...more creepy that we just know them as these twitchy, malevolent blipverts-for-evil that roam the 'verse in lethally-radioactive ships?
I'd love to see more Badger and Reavers. And, all though I think the Reavers should still be left to their ambiguity.
And, btw.... "Blipverts", huh? Does someone miss 'Max Headrrom'

I think the Reavers would be the perfect villain for this first movie. They're relatively straightforward, scary badasses and a good way to re-introduce the characters without having to get too far into the mythology of River and what was done to her.

Maybe a good premise would be that the Blue Hands are chasing them, and to escape they have to go into Reaver territory.
As for the promise of a new character, I think it's essential to add a new person in the film, since it will give a perfect excuse to bring people up to date on River and Simon's back story without everyone stating (what to us would be) the obvious for no reason.
And thanks Luna! It's good to see someone else around here understands that cramming in everyone's favorite characters in the series would spell doom for the movie.

Early, I want him dead.
I loved the character and there are ways to go with it, but I am a bit tired of some bad guy who always comes back from the dead. Or near dead in Early's case. Sometimes the bad guy has to die permentently or else you end up with a Freddy or Jason thing.
Back in my day, we knew how to kill bad guys and monsters. If they survived too many movies, we send in Abbott and Costello. That would finish them off for good.

Now that I understand, I agree. I like the picture of Jubal floating around in the verse as a lifeless body. Space trash. Nothing more. Not suddenly picked up by bad guys, not recreated as a cyborg of death (ie: the resurrection of Kirk as a Borg) , just dead.

Oh yeah... I definitely want to meet Jayne's Mom! Maybe the whole Cobb family... do you reckon there's a 'Jayne's little sister' out there somewhere?
