I've always thought this since I first watched Serenity, is that the Twins are a replacemenet for Badger. The biggest giveaway is that they have a cockney accent(for our USA brothers, people from London) just the same as Badger. The way they verbalise with Mal is also very Badger. Maybe Mark Sheppard was busy on other projects???. So Joss needed a replacement. As you can see I am a big Badger fan. It's a shame he wasn't in the BDM. What do you guys think?

I like to think that, as the twins get bumped off in the original script, Joss didn't want to kill Badger (which was, after all, going to be his own part).

Or he just wanted to keep his options open. It wouldn't have taken much to rewrite it for Badger (or maybe it was vice versa).

Yeh I always liked Badger. I think if the series continued we would have seen alot more of him. He isn't like Niska who is a real nasty bit of work but he is more like Mal but a bit more dumb :)

What I'm thinkin' is that Badger's moving up in the world. He oughtta be in the sequel.

Fanty/Mingo, Lee Chen, most of the other big movers and shakers of the criminal underworld are now kaput, thanks to the Operative. That makes for a power vacuum. Bloke plays his cards right, he could end up with the whole 'verse in his pocket.

And where would that leave our merry band of rogues?

Badger is a cool guy, but hes in it for the profit. Killing him off would have done the feds no good. We all know he would have turned Serenitys crew in for the money had he known Simon and river were aboard. He wanted to get rid of Mal,Zoe and Jayne in the pilot eps.

"You stay here and I just know the feds will track you down."

He may have a small streak of honor, but it ain't much. But he is a very likeable guy. To get on his good side. Adopt an accent( if you haven't one)pretend to be from the old homested and tell him what a useless bit of dirt he is. He'll like you after that.

I always thought Joss maybe came up with the "Fanty's prettier" line to show Mal's wit and built the twin char.s around it.

...and surely Firefly the series would not have been the same without Mark's contributions. Would love to see him come back…

FYI, all the comic books are now available in a single Trade Paper Back book called Serenity: Those Left Behind. So if you can't get the individual comics, pick that up. I just received mine yesterday from Amazon.
