I think David would make a great villan for the movie, and a great nemesis for the show if it returns.

I think the "operative" might work well for David. We have seen him play dark roles before when they had flashbacks in Angel, or when he reverted to the Angelus persona in Buffy or in Angel. I think he could easily play a dark character on Serenity that is ruthless and twisted.

I trust in Joss to write him into the script well. I trust in DB's acting ability. If done well, it could draw Angel fans to the movie, and the show if it makes it back to the small screen.

JARED, I think you are selling your self short. If you like Firefly because of the characters and relationship on the show then I don't think you fit into the category of Nerd, and by saying that you are not interested in Star Trek and Star Wars anymore because lack of quality writing is further proof of you lack of Nerddoom.

A Nerd to me is somebody that is more interested in the science and technology than the characters and relationships. I might like the science and technology in Firefly, but it is the characters and the relationships that made me a fan of the show.

careful, youre talking so somebody with "the science of star wars" on his shelf (which btw. isnt what you may think and in fact is quite interesting to read as it covers many "real" scientific theories as possible explanations for whats done in the movies).

maybe with 26 i simply became a different kind of nerd that evolved and shifted his focus ,-)

Naughty thought here - we could see DB in Serenity as Angel!
After all, he isn't going to die unless someone stakes him, and he's already survived several 100 years...

If Angel was around on earth-that-was when the ships were leaving, why shouldn't he hop on one?

Maybe all the humans left earth to get away from the demons?

(This is NOT a serious suggestion, just an ammusing thought...)

I totally had the same thought! In fact, it was the first thing to pop into my head when I read about the possibility of DB showing up in Serenity.

But, yeah, I'm not sure I would want to see it actually happen. Firefly seems to be such a different verse than the Buffy/Angel world. I'd rather see each world hang on to its individuality.

Yeah, had that thought here, I wouldn't dwell on it. Just maybe have him in the background. In a longer black coat. Just a seedy character on the "docks"

LOL! Well put! But I would add that nerds aren't just science people. I proudly call myself a nerd and I don't know squat about science. I get excited over clever lines in novels. I'm a literature nerd. That's one reason Firefly's so good. Lots of potential analysis. So I guess I'd add

4. Someone who gets giddy about intellectual observations most people think are boring.
