That's because Lois and Clark were the entire point of that series.


Firefly has seven characters and a very complex 'verse with many issues to content with. Mal and Inara getting (and staying) together wouldn't kill that in any way.




I've always imagined that if/when Mal and Inara finally get it right, that would be the perfect time to kill off Inara. Like the very second after their first kiss --BAM!-- Inara gets hit by a bus or something. Joss loves doing things like that. (Willow and Tara (the second time), anyone? Fred and Wesley, anyone? (Still can't forgive Jonathon Woodward for that one)

Exactly. Oh, and Jonathan is certainly a hated man, even more when you consider him taking Kaylee as a hostage. Didn't see him on Buffy but I'm sure he did something horrible on there too.

But where's that bubbling, hilarious tension? Those meaningful looks? The sweet romantic misunderstandings?
If Mal and Jayne got together things would never be the same...

Men of Honour - No...No it's not...

I'd wonder if River would take Zoe's place for another gun if she would become pregnant. I have a feeling though if the series would continue that Jayne would begin to look over River like another older brother, perhaps out of guilt from Ariel too. Another thought is that Jayne would be next in line to get the axe right around the time that River and Jayne's relationship would develop like that. Just a guess anyways. I don't think Joss could ever get away with killing off Mal or River so it's either Jane or Inara.

Mr. Universe's LoveBot would be The Chef.

Mal would run into The Operative everywhere, even though The Operative said he wouldn't, and at the end of every encounter, The Operative would say all dramatic like.... :"this is the last time you'll ever see me Mal."

I like the idea of Simon becoming a drug addict. Kaylee's going to have to kick his ass lock him in that storage space where they locked up River.

There would be a new, forgive the term, "Rebel Alliance" forming in the central planets... people who saw the broadwave and want to start a revolution, they probably try to contact MAL, but he wants nothing to do with it. Plus the closer he gets to the central planets, the more enemies he has. Eventually Mal DOES rise above, but only after being pushed over the edge through another death of one of his crew.

I don't think Zoe will be with anyone for a while. She's super loyal and all... she'd be ultra stubborn about wanting to raise her child alone, even though Jayne's the only one who can ever get it stop crying. This is when you find out that Jayne was the oldest of many siblings and knows how to take care of babies.

Inara will be screening clients and she'll sign some dude up.. but when she gets there it turns out to be a decoy.. and it's really Adelai Niska... kidnaps her and tortures her, because he knows how Mal feels about her. Mal finally kills this guy and when they're back on the ship, Inara and Mal finally get it on.

River becomes best friends with the LoveBot and Kaylee gets jealous.

Also, a whole film of Jayne bounding around in his bobble hat, blowing a few holes in anything that stands in his way would be amusing.Plus he'd be singing his 'Hero of Canten' song.(obviously)

Is it 'Canten'? honestly can't remember...correct me if I'm wrong...

I want MANY COOL THINGS TO HAPPEN (as I'm sure everyone else does)

But here's my wishlist

Mal/Jayne in a conundrum changing Zoe's baby's diapers. (You HAVE to have a changing scene)

Jayne, stuck on the ship during a job for one reason or another, wearing a vest that gives milk to the baby to simulate a mothers breast(you know that would be good)

Luis Guzman as the eccentric, Hispanic cook for the crew.

Alexis Denisof as the new replacement Operative of the Parliament. Less brawny and less prone to violent stabbing. More with intelligence and school smarts than anything. Like a master stategist that anticipates moves before theyre made. Not from psychic ability, but from pure smarts.

Thoughts? Concerns? Witty insights?
