I think you guys are reaching a bit with the bigtime conspiracy theories. Judging from the commentaries, Joss only added River and the Blue Hands relatively late in the game to add that X-Files element. He's always been big on the concept of the show being about orninary people, not superheros or secret agents thwarting government conspiracies right and left. They're supposed to be relatively small-time. Petty theives and smugglers.

I think the Reavers are, for the most part, exactly what they've been portrayed as. They were probably early colonists that couldn't find a habitable planet and thus just lived in space, resuplying by raiding other colonies. If you follow the Old West parallel, the Reavers would be equated to hostile Indian tribes, so there's probably more too them- their own culture, leaders, and motives... a method to their madness.

I don't see any connection between the Reavers and River or the Blue hands. River showed no special interest in the survior in Bushwhacked, and for that matter hasn't said anything at all about Reavers in the episodes where they've been mentioned. Hell, I think the fact that River's been asleep or out of the picture during the Reaver scenes is a pretty good indication that she has nothing to do with them and wouldn't add much to the situation.

My plot line idea has nothing, or at least very little to do with reavers.

A new character, a Navigator (a person who'd occupy the other seat on the bridge while the pilot flies the ship) has joined the crew to allow Wash to spend more time with Zoe. While on route to a border moon, Serenity is intercepted by an Alliance Cruiser that has become over run by an evil group known as the Rogues. They are former Alliance members who dislike the Alliance prinicples, and started taking over. But Serenity learns they won't stop with just the Alliance, but with Blue Sun, and any leftover independants-and that means Serenity along with them.

On the run from the Rogues, Serenity sees more and more ships and planets overrun by the Rogues, and they also learn that their new Navigator, Marx, is a former Rogue spy, but left the secret order when his father dies in the war, and he seceded from the alliance. He ends up being captured by Rogues and River (subsequently a love interest with River and Marx) goes after him.

Serenity follows and end up at the Rogue headquarters. They are faced with a difficult decision, save the Alliance (that would save Blue Sun with it) or help the Rogues and be free forever.

I don't know about an ending though...

By the way, the government was turning River into a weapon because a secret level of government knew of the oncoming Rogue mutiny, and River was the only defense.

I just have the feeling that Jayne will be killed sacrificing himself to save river, Because several events in the series seem to have been leading up to it. i.e. Jayne feeling guilty about selling River out, and his not being able to understand why the mudder would sacrifice himself for him. And plus if Adam does pick up a spot on stargate Atlantis he might not be able to do another Firefly series, so a movie might be the only/best place to explain the disappearance of Jayne

I hope not. I think part of what makes the concept work is the ballence between all the characters, and taking Jayne out would throw that out of kilter... Not that Joss hasn't done that sort of think before.

Traveller, if you go to Sparta, tell them you have seen us lying here as the Law commands.
