Nah... I can't see badger as a pilot. He's a talker, not a doer. He gets other people to do his things for him. All we've ever seen him do is walk and talk! I think he's pretty bright, but I'm thinking he doesn't have the lightning-fast reflexes to pull it off.

When I watched the movie it was very apparent to me that River is going to pilot Serenity. Mal didn't give a discourse on the need to love the ship to anyone else but River. River may have had episodes but the Miranda ordeal has helped her and River has helped the crew. Remember what she did in "War Stories"? Killed three baddies in less time then it takes to bat an eye. She was the one who planned the demise of Early when everyone else was helpless in "Objects in Space".
Mal wasn't just blowing a lot of hot air with that speech about loving the ship. He was handing the controls over to River. River knows right from wrong and being free of that mind control those freaks were useing with subliminal messages has made River the perfect choice. I've also said this before. As pilot she will work a lot with Kaylee in repairing the ship just like Wash. And who does she play with most? It is Kaylee. Remember River teaseing Kaylee with the apple in "War Stories" and sitting on the floor playing jacks together at the end of "Objects in Space". Who better to help Kaylee work on the ship than River. Mal and Zoe probably can fly Serenity, but they hired Wash because it takes something special that they didn't have. With Wash gone River is the only one with that ability to feel the ships needs and what it can do.

I think, along with lots of people here, that it will be River. But I think there will be some friction there with Mal. Serenity is obviously Mal's baby, and the conflict he feels in turning her over to someone else would be entertaining. Especially someone loco like River.

River would be the choice temporary replacement, but long-term I think they would need to find someone a little more predictable and a little less violent...

But at the end of the BDM River is a little more predictable and a little less violent. She's dealt with the nightmares - at least the really grisly ones featuring reavers, "I'm OK. I'm OK." and thereby achieved a sense of peace she never had before and gained conscious control of her fighting reflexes, "My turn." She is no longer just a weapon that can be triggered.

very true... I have a hard time imagining anyone else behind the wheel of serenity so, I am still sort of holding onto the hope that maybe wash survived? If he really is dead, then River would definitely be my first choice. she obviously knows what she's doing.

Of course Wash is comeing (sic) back! At least that's what I tell myself as I'm huddled in a little ball in the corner of my room. River is still, waaaay too unstable to be held responsible for piloting the whole ship, and handling communications (as Wash was apt to do). Anybody remotely funny would be a bad choice simply because fans would automatically compare them to Wash and it would be a disaster for everybody. I would imagine some fresh blood, who knows, but I doubt the position will be open for long. What with Wash's inexplicable, yet triumphant return. *whimper*
