Hey, my first post! Great site here!

I agree with just about everyone else on what others would spend except Book. I think he'd take the money and disperse it in his travels. Either he'd give it to some needy folks he meets, or he'd buy something with it for needy folks he meets. I think he'd do it more personal than a general donation to an orphanage or hospital or something.

Also, I think he still pays for his fare on the ship. Maybe not, who knows? It's not like he's been very forthcoming with his bio. He may be sitting on quite a bit of wealth, but he shared with Kaylee & the crew what he felt they needed most at the time: real food. I wouldn't be surprised if the money he has is not from any "earnings" on their missions, but just from his stash from the Abbey (and wherever else he may have come from before then )

Scuse the essay, y'all!

who knows maybe they'll end up running blue sun 5 seasons from now

HA!

One thought occurs to me, tho I don't see any of the crew going for it.

I'd spend a chunk on a pair of really big pistols and give them to River as a present.

Given that twice she has effectively defended the ship (War Stories, OiS) crazy or not, I'd want her on MY side if/when things got rough, cause mortal crisis seems to bring out what I can only call for lack of a better word "a warrior spirit".

Before he does that, he first he needs to buy himself a new, non-Riverized version of the bible...

MAL
Good. Thanks for the update.

Ain't that the truth! That River Anontated Edition may be a collectible, but it'd probably make for some confusing reading

I mean. . .stuff like that is fun ONCE. . .but it gets old.

Ohmigosh! I would pay very good money to see Mal looking for some new suspenders! Or inquire about fencing lessons.

Also, I think Inara would want a cut of the Lassiter. She does consider herself a business woman. And I think they would give her something anyways if she helped set up the contact. I can totally see her having no qualms about haggling (in a very dignified way) with Mal over setting up the contact, or something.

Heh, I like this question, and I pretty much agree with everyone else's idea: new ship parts, produce, socking it away for a rainy day/emergency, slinky dress for Zoe, etc. And I do hafta go with whoever said there wouldn't be much fixin' up of Serenity's interior/exterior. They might rig an alternate powersource for life support in case a catalyser blows again.

I think there might be some buying of phony IDs, cause you never know when those'll come in handy, and it could be very useful for the Tams to have papers that say they're John and Wendy Darling or some such.

I do suspect that Kaylee would also send some home -- in Out of Gas she talked about how her dad hadn't had much work lately, so I bet the folks could use it.

I'm not entirely certain I agree with the idea that Book would give it all away. He'd probably give some of it away to widows & orphans, but I don't think we honestly know enough about him to say he'd donate all of it.

And please, someone, anyone -- buy River some clothes. She doesn't have that much, and she might appreciate some shoes that weren't big ol combat boots. Also a hairbrush. I know it fits her personality, but some days the tangledyness of her hair of her hair just makes me twitch.
Might also buy Simon some not-so-spiffy clothes while they're at it.
