Joss probably would of explained them a little more in depth if the series wasn't canceled and the movie had a sequel. He cant exactly continue the story without a medium to do it through. Its hard to make assumptions or complain about flaws when we only have 14 episodes and 1 movie. The whole world is very incomplete and will probably remain that way.

Actually, it wasn't 10 percent of the population that turned reaver, it was a 10th of a percent, so there's even less than what you estimate.

Another reason that mal didn't go to the far side of the planet instead of going straight through is that the ships don't travel faster than the speed of light (Joss said that somewhere, don't entirely remember where). It would take too long to go around, plus, as was previously stated, they probably were surrounding the planet.

Perhaps the Alliance WAS doing something to get rid of them, maybe River was just the first success in a line of secret super-soldiers meant to keep the Reavers under control. Don't forget either that the Alliance ARE just people and that if they fought a way against the Reavers anybody may have discovered their dark origins and leaked it to the rest of the Verse.

True, but isn't that happening anyway with the Reavers raiding the planets on the outer rim? If the Alliance allow it to go on, isn't it going to leak faster than if they send in the troops?
