I read somewhere awhile back that Alan was signed to several features and that Joss wanted to bring him back, albeit not in any cliched way. I'm interested in what is considered "cliched" way. The only ones I can think of is cloning, twins, and flashbacks. Does anyone else have any ideas? Ultimately, how would Alan come back without being "been there done that" sort of way?

I think mostly in a clone and twin type of why. I wouldnt rule out flashback cuz that not what i see as cliche.

If it ends up it was all a dream I'm killing Joss! Seriously hunting him down with a sniper rifle! I hope you see this Joss. (This is a joke don't call the police!)

From most to least cliched: twins, cloning, flashbacks.

Honestly, flashbacks is about the only thing I see working. I have confidence that Joss could do so in a artful, non-cliched way.

Somebody suggested that Wash could appear as a kind of "ghost", strictly within River's mind -- sort of a psychic imprint. It doesn't really appeal to me, but it's another idea.

I don't disagree on any particular point.

Yep there are levels that do not need to be visited. Flashbacks are the best choice.

I'm thinking stories told about the crew from BEFORE meeting the Tams. There is alot of story to be told since the show didn't even finish a complete season,...also, there could be fill in stories BETWEEN the series and the film.
