So I can't really see her or any regular soldier as EVIL!!! It's the blue handed men and the guys giving the orders to the Operative as the true bad guys.

I believe River mentions that in one of her ramblings as she said old men with blood on their hands, referring to the key members of Parliment which were pulling all the strings and made her crazy in the first place.

No, the one I put together, with help from a friend, is the Alliance purples from the film. I do make and sell the uniform pins from that uniform as well.

I bumped the "Screw the Browncoats, I wanna be Alliance thread for all its good info/discussion.

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=29183

This Forum seems to move a little slower and so might be a better place to continue Alliance posting.

Sometimes you have to be a bad guy. Bad guys are generally quite interesting parts to play, and some of them have really great uniforms.

That's why Star Wars spawned the Stormtrooper costume groups like UK Garrison, and they do certainly look good. Firefly's Alliance troops don't have quite such interesting or cool uniforms, sadly. They're OK... but their props haven't really been designed with love. Using leftovers from another movie is always a bit tragic. (This is why Kubrik had the ship models in '2001' destroyed, to prevent them being re-used in some B-picture, as was common at the time.)

When my wife wanted to go to a 'Sound of Music' event a few years ago, I went as a Nazi officer. Stay off their politics, and you have to admit they had the sharpest uniforms of anybody in that conflict. So go for it - and be sinister.

Well, lucky for us there's no donkeys on this planet.
