I just want more. More of everything. Just to have a second movie!
Nathan doesn't know it yet, but I am his one true love! Is that weird?

1. More of Inara's and Book's (somehow) backstory.
2. Blue Sun.
3. A conflict between Zoe and River, now that River is more than likely the pilot.
4. Inara and Mal romance.
5. Some really evil bad guy that kills another crew member (forgive me, but for a two hour movie, the cast is pretty large. I vote for Simon getting offed.)
OR
5. An additional crew member to change things up. I vote for a cook.

Oh, and of course some naked Inara, River, Zoe, or Kaylee....
if the women here want naked Simon or Mal, I think all the guys are entitled to see some naked Firefly/Serenity women.

Yeah, a lot of people seem to want this... understandably. And while I'm curious to see exactly what Joss has in mind too, I already have my own relatively confident theories; I know neither one is original, but they were to me, before I found out how many people shared them.
There are enough clues in the series to assume that Inara is dying, presumably from some fatal disease. Particularly this exchange from "Out of Gas":
INARA: I love this ship. I have from the moment I saw it.
SIMON: I just don't want to die on it.
INARA: (glances away) I don't want to die at all.
The implication seems ot be that since she has to die, she wants it be on Serenity. Put that together with the memory River reads in "Objects in Space": "I'm a big girl. You can tell me." To me, it sure seems like she's remembering talking to her doctor, and finding out about her terminal illness.
I guess this interferes with all the hopes for a happy Mal/Inara relationship. Sorry about that; maybe I'm wrong.
As for Book, after seeing the movie, one of my first thoughts was, "Hey! We got gipped! We never found out Book's mysterious past!" But then I decided, maybe we did, just in a very subtle way. Personally, I'd bet a lot he was an Operative. The similarities between the two characters (sigh... no, not just the fact that they're black) are too strong to ingore: the Operative reevaluates his life view, and turns his back on his military career, just like Book obviously did. And Book just seemed to be way too efficient a fighter, and know way too much about Alliance military procedure (including Operatives) for me to conclude anything else. In fact, if Joss was going to bring time travel into the 'verse (although I hope he doesn't), I'd say the Operative WAS Book. The two characters seem like the early and latter parts of the same life. What do you think?
P.S. Sorry for the rambling, incredibly long-winded post.

I think that the Operative sort of was Book. Just...not literally. But I agree that the similar characters was probably Joss's way of giving us Book's past(ish). In a subtle way.
I've read a lot about it, but I still take issue with the Inara has a terminal disease theory. She's just too healthy. People have a terminal illness, they do not look that good, they don't move that well, and odds are they are not allowed to be Companions. I'm interested in her story because I just can't decide what it might be.

I don't disagree on any particular point.

Alan returning as Wash's twin brother sporting a moustache and goatee!!! 
The Operative has to return for the next movie (although I'd far rather have a new series). He is by far the coolest bad guy in a long time.
AS for comments about charcater development in the film. Well it is a film. You have 2 hours in which to do a self-contained story. You either do action or character. You can't do both in any detail. That was BDMs one problem. Too many central characters. That's why Inara and Book lost out, because Joss had to tell a story. He could either tell one good story (as he pretty much did) or half a dozen small but under done ones.

i dont have a top 5 but i would like to see them taking on the revears more, not head to head though more like destroying their ability to capture ships as after events of serenity they would be forced to keep to the very shady corners of the verse
