Well, actually Serenity is based on Firefly, but it's not like the next episode in it (with elapsed time). They don't show Inara or Book leaving, they don't mention previous characters, and they add new characters (Mr. Universe, etc.) So I don't think they killed the whores, but they might have murdered Badger and just not shown him dead.

"Oh, no, sudden yet inevitable betrayal."

Patience is definately dead, but Badger is just too cool to die. Plus, I find it unlikely that the Operative would be able to track him down on Persephone (sp?) without causing an enormous amount of chaos. I mean, the area that Badger lived in was packed, and it seemed like he lived in a place that didn't exactly give itself away.

I don't think the Operative would have cut a swarth through the criminal community without some angry people making some inquiries. Especially someone like Adlai Niska, who, I'd expect, masquerades as a legitimate businessman when he's not stealing medications and cutting ears off.
With regards to the Heart of Gold ladies, I think it was pretty obvious that the area isn't strategically...good...for anyone. Not much of a ground to go to, in other words.
Besides, I sort of get the impression that the Operative would find the lives of the whores to be pitiable and would thus spare them.

Here's my Fanty and Mingo theory --
If we assume that Fanty and Mingo are business contacts rather than shelter providers for the crew then we have to ask why the Operative killed them in the "leave no ground to go to" process. However I think that we are approaching this the wrong way.
If we step back we can take a different approach to the Fanty/Mingo interregation. Fanty and Mingo appear in the vid when River is set off by the fruit oatey bar commercial. A good Operative would clearly have reviewed the vid and had great interest in interregating the crews' last knwon contacts. Whereas when "leaving no ground" the Operative would not neccessarily have any interest in even speaking to his victims...
Thoughts?
