Y'all can talk about cheapening all you like; I don't care. If there's a sequel, I want Wash back. All I ask.

Things I'd like to see, huh?
1. More exploration of the Mal/Inara thing. Definately NOT them getting together. Having a happy, working relationship would not last long with Whedon at the wheel, and besides, the possibility of them getting together always makes me smile. Like a little girl.
2.Absolutely NOT Wash coming back to life. He was buried with a big hole in his stomach, and a zombie in the Firefly 'verse would seem out of place. Especially if he and Zoe were to get back together... Introducing a "Wash's brother" character is out too. Unless he was a completely different character, it would be like the show was trying to copy the original character dynamics, just with a different actor playing "Wash". That would be unpleasant. Although, one thing that COULD work as a kind of "resurrection" would be The Operative becoming a Shepherd and coming on board to be a kind of Book with a intense suppressed depression thing going on. But that's just because I like The Operative. He's like Early, but not as touchy.
3.Blue Sun. Not a complete reveal-all, but showing to be sure that they had something under their Super Wal-mart exterior. Or maybe not. The mystery of the Blue Sun Corporation is one of my favorite things about the 'verse, and I wouldn't want that to be ruined.
4.The return of Kaylee's poofy dress! This category also includes Jayne's hat.
5.Badger.

Ok browncoats heres my list,
Wash coming back: Not on this list. That happens in the BDM3. Hes got to come back and make coin. The mans gotta eat and I'll take funny over dead anyday.
1)Mal and Inaras relationship continue on the "tease".This is a great part of interest in the show. It must keep going.
2) Blue Sun & Blue Hands. The bad guys need more exploration. For one thing we already know they are bad. Lets see how much worse they can get
3)Although Jayne is considered Mals second in the funny dept. he is really good with the dramatic parts as well. My wife still hates him for what he did to Simon and River. " What you gonna tell the others? Make somethin-up." Yepper I do feel sorry for him. This character needs to continue on.
4)Saffrin. I do believe I was married to this girl in another life. Maybe hubby 106 or something. Great actress. One for the guys to vent on.This girl is so crafty and beautiful shes the one we love to hate ( while lying in her bed, just don't kiss her on the mouth) she needs to come back in the BDM2.
5)This is a possibility in the BDM2. Books character explored further. Even if he's no longer around. maybe have the crew come upon some info about Book that sheds more light on who he was.
Last thing. Whether we like it or not. The whole idea of movie making is to make money. This means new fans. Ones that don't know much about FF/Serenity. Our ranks must swell. This means 30 minutes of backstory and covering old ground. I know everybody wants 2 hours of new material but some parts of a sequel will have to deal with what has gone on before.

"Funny and sexy. You have no idea. And you never will."
I find it amusing that if someone posted the same sentences with Zoe or Inara or Kaylee as the subject, they would be totally flamed from several quarters for being neanderthals.
Ah, reverse discrimination. You don't have to love it, just recognize it when you see it.
But on to the topic of the thread: My pet peeve with franchises is the one-upmanship. Next installment has bigger sets, bigger budgets, more eye-popping special effects, and less and less dialogue/character development.
In the next movie, my take is they're suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome, sneaking around much like they did in the TV series, trying to earn a living, trying to keep flying. They don't want a high profile. I have faith that Joss could come up with a major plot point that would carry a movie, yet allowed for tons of ensemble work by the cast, alot of typically awesome yak-yak and off-kilter humour -- the trademarks of the Joss that we know and love. He could write a Firefly phonebook and it would be compelling. Hell, he probably has, to help him with the backstory. Just a list of 'verse business ventures could speak volumes. I myself am leafing through the yellow pages right now looking for "Spacecraft -- Previously Owned".

1) Inara doing something besides showing up.
2) Mal shirtless/naked
3) More about Blue Sun
4) More about Book and/or Inara's secrets
5) River, and how she's changed since the BDM; Maybe ab R.Tam Session-eque flashbacl where we see her as she was before all this.

That is a really good idea. If Book was an Operative, that would give us his back story in a subtle way. Course, he's have to be in an abby for awhile; he couldn't just start being on the ship. I bet it takes awhile to become a Shepard. Plus, Mal would kill him!
Lots of really good ideas on this thread actually. The only one I have to take issue with is the idea of Zoe being pregnant. I'm sorry, but do we all know the definition of "Jump the Shark"? I agree with Girlaskew that it would be far "too schticky" not to mention totally out of place. Not many people have touted this one, though. I really love most of these ideas. There could be dozens of BDMs!

I just thought of a story line that would upset a lot of fans... if you think you might be easily upset, better skip this one.
Suppose Zoe discovers she's pregnant... but decides to have an abortion rather than raise the child alone. Nasty idea, I admit -- but Joss is known to be gleeful about jerking his viewers' strings.

I don't disagree on any particular point.

Not sure we should consider Zoe "alone" in that respect, Doncoat. Hell, that kid would have more family . . .
Mal was raised by a solo parent, if I recall, from what he sez in Our Mrs. Reynolds.
Imagine how awesome Kaylee would be as a babysitter. She'd be swapping the shotgun cartridge teether that Zoe prefers for something a wee bit more user friendly.

And i had the same thoughts about the possible pregnancy of Zoe. It could work, but it would most likely just complicate things and make things lame. Thats a bad sitcom move. Thats where sitcoms go to die.
For TV :
Just start the show back up 5 years later. Its that simple. No gimmicks, no stupid ideas, just life on Serenity. Thats the show. Life goes on.
For Film:
Keep it going where it was going. The fast pace of the movie was fun, just plow through the story.
It boils down to this.......
Nobody was going to go go buy Firefly on DVD (who hadnt already loved it on TV) unless they saw Serenity.
Nobody wanted to go see Serenity in the theater, cuz it was "that lame TV quality Sci-fi crap show that got canceled 3 years ago" unless they already loved Firefly.
So that leaves it to people like me. I heard so many good things about Serenity ,(5 star reveiws, word of mouth) that after not being able to get anybody to go to the actual theater, i rented it on DVD. And that was it. And after dragging the series out as long as i humanly could (6 months) as a huge Star Wars fan i felt cheated. "Wow, the new Star Wars suck." I thought. If only they could have spent 150 million dollars on Serenity instead.
So right now we are in a very strange position.

I already posted what I want in the BDM2, but I need to add two more things that I absolutely want to see.
1. More scenes with Kaylee and the Captain. I love the big brother/little sister relationship.
2. The family around the dinner table, like old times. There wasn't nearly enough family togetherness in Serenity.
