It would be nice to get more but I've said on other forums that maybe the excellent series and movie should be enough, at least this way the series will never "jump the shark" maybe continue the 'verse in novels and in a few years and after a few big money movie successes Joss can revisit the crew and show us how they got along after Serenity ...

Succinctly... I disagree with you Reginald.
I trust Joss. To take me on whatever story telling ride he cares to and I'll go along.
And Asarian is right... .more River.. that's a good thing. And more Mal too!

"the 'verse is unfolding as it should" or something to that effect...
and I believe that is so.

I'm looking forward to sequels that contain none of the original human characters or cast. The advantage to Whedon of the eponymous heroine of both Firefly and Serenity is that tales of the 'Verse are Independent of casting.

Joss has secrets - many secrets. Say, Inara's entire past. Why wasn't she on Sihnon, a planet she clearly loves? What was in her vial in Serenity (the episode, not the movie)?
And, as has been already stated, I trust Joss. Hell, I might even trust him with my life. And, remember - he loves the 'verse just as much as we do. He is the Creator.
Even if it's in his mind to have River do everything, I don't care - in this case, there is no 'too much of a good thing.' There will never be enough.

Simon said that she was a bit of a trickster even before the "academy." Always a bit weird. Wish I could remember his exact words. I tend to think that she would be even funnier now that she can think straight. Remember how much she laughed when she tricked the Bounty Hunter into thinking she was the ship? I think that's standard behavior for her.
As for Wash and Book, well, if we get into that we'll have a huge debate on our hands... (ahem.. steering column... cough...)
I trust Joss Whedon with the story. Buffy and Angel changed a lot over the seasons they were on. But it didn't fundamentally change the shows. It's his show.
On a side note - I think the only reason Book wasn't on the ship in the movie is because it would have been hard to explain to the audience.

I don't know about that. I love Joss dearly, but I like me too. Remember Wash? Book? Various characters on Buffy and Angel? Joss can be quite evil when he wants to be...

Oh, but a Joss death is usually interesting. It would be fun if he'd write mine.

People are lining up for that, I'd imagine.
