I’ve spent the last 3 years in a secluded mountain hut, contemplating Shepherd Book’s past.

Well, I have to say that's the best damn theory yet. Whether true, or even likely, or not; it has a very 'Joss' feel to it. I really like that it ignors what his past is specifically, but keeps him crucial. The mystery would remain and more clues would keep coming in, making the viewers/fans continue to wonder and debate about who he truely was. It would be a bit freaky, though, if your idea about info revealed over time was correct. That would mean they'd have to keep his body (or at least key organs) on ice and in storage somewhere to occasionally consult. Morbid and Creepifying.

...man... I really hope that he wasn't one of the bodies they secured to the front of Serenity that burned up on the way out of atmosphere... that would really throw a spanner in the works...

P.S. I heard a rumour that Christina Hendricks is signed to do the sequel next year...!!! As well as Ron & Alan so the mind boggles!!!

Praise the Lord

The technology for putting data into human organs is continuing to be developed by Blue Sun for use by their adepts -- who can reach in and do it. The BHG use the blue wands to scan for embedded data and mash up the organs of folks who contain messages left by River.

The Reavers are also aware of the technology, but a only garbled version has entered their folklore - they consume human flesh in the mistaken belief that they can discover the secrets by eating them.

Mind you, this is a premise visited by Michal Stackpole in I, Jedi, where somebody stores a load of information on jedi techniques by digitising the data and inserting it into plant genomes using each set of base pairs as 0 and 1.

there has been a rumour on the 'Live from Dragon*Con' thread, however it has, sadly, been pretty effectively quashed.....

but they can never take our hope nor our determination to get that BDS!
