2) I want to know why Mal got that shot from Simon

I think that one's pretty straight-forward: *everybody* had to get shots for fumphering around on dangerous planets, it's just that Mal never got around until having his until the last minute. Possibly because he has a squick about injections.

1. Wash to get some new super guts like Tracey and be in the sequel.

2. A brown coat home world thats off the map like Miranda, possibly even on earth that was, cause who would be looking there right? With Mal's notority after the Reaver story he would definitely be contacted by a browncoat uprising

Sure that ideas a bit Star Wars like but where else are they going to head on the epic front.

3. More River fight scenes, because Summer is just wonderful to watch. Sorry Summer guess that would mean more intense training and ice baths.

1) Ron and Alan, of course.
2) Badger. Fanty and Mingo were great, but Badger was sorely missed.
3) Vera.

Ron, Allan could be in a sorta flashback, being a critical past interaction which didn't seem like a big deal at the time, hence not incuded in the existing story. Or, this could be the time between Season 1 and BDM.

Either Alliance confiscates serenity, or some ship switch ala Star Trek Search for Spock and Return Home (?? #3 & 4).

Alliance has some residual subliminal messages floating around, keeps River from being totally in control of herself. But she'll have her moments - we won't know if she'll save the day solo, or with help from other BDH's. Of course, although the operative tried to convince the Parliament that River was no longer a threat, the message was out, that doesn't mean Miranda was the only secret River absorbed from visiting Senators.

Only 3 wishes? Tricky!

1. For a guarantee of 2 films to "complete" the "trilogy" (like Lucas got for eps V and VI) so that Joss can a) relax and b) create a better story arc

2. Some gorram western stuff

3. Hmmmm - tricky - this would have to either be:

a) return of some old favourites like Yo-Saff-Bridge and Badger

or

b) A spin-off tv-series ;)

Well.. there's quite a few ideas I have for episode ideas.. but when it comes to just one big story for a movie.. I have to just leave that to Joss..

But if I have to widdle it down to just THREE ideas that I would like to see in the next movie..

1) Badger.. out of all the characters from the series.. he's the one I owuld most like to see.. plus he is the one who could just make an "appearance" and not necissarily dominate the whole movie. I love yo-saf-bridge.. but I think it would be harder for her to only "make an apperance" yet not be a major player in the movie.. and if all we get it two hours.. I don't want a good part of it dealing with her. Badger would be easier to weave into a coherent story that makes sence without him being a "major" player. You could show Badger for fewer than 2-3 minutes in a couple of scenes and not have it felt "stuck in".

2) I want to know more of Inara's back story.

3) Ok.. the most important one... Mal and Inara need to have their moment. Their time to shine. They got the short end of the stick in the first movie.. so now it's their turn. However.. I only want to see the promise of something more.. I don't want them to actually "be together".. I just want them drawn closer together... and ALMOST be together.. It's all over for one of them (as in probably being killed) if they ACTUALLY get together.


I know this wasn't asked for.. but this is what I DON'T want to see..

1) Finding out that either Book or Wash lived. That would dominate the movie.. I don't want a "In Search of Wash" movie. If they are shown.. do it in dreams or flashbacks.. I don't want to find either of them alive. I have seen very well thought out and creative ways people have dreamed up of how Wash could still be alive. And I know Joss is the master of "ressurection" stories... but in this case.. I don't want it to happen. I hate that both of them died.. but I see why it had to happen.. and it also streamlined the crew to allow for more character work in the sequel.. not as many characters to focus on.

2) I don't want to see the operative again.. unless it has something to do with revealing more of books past. But I am actually ok with never knowing exactly what Book was. Some things are better left unknown.

3) I don't want to see River in perfect control of her powers.

Many more.. but if I have to limit it to three of each.. .. but I will simply be happy with "More"..

Still not getting my hopes up just yet...
Smaug..

A vengeful Mal sets a plot in effect which, using Rivers memories from "key members of Parliament" pits the Reevers and the Alliance in a full scale war.


I don't think that is Mal's way... and yes.. that's better than a plan..

Mal only did what he did because the alliance was after him and wouldn't stop... along with his dislike of the alliance. Now that it's finished.. if they don't bother him.. he most likly won't bother them..

He just wants to be on his way... if the wind blows north.. he goes north..

Okay only three?

Here goes

1)A movie- prequel, sequel - just give me one

2) Mal and Inara together some way,shape or form. A kiss would be great- too much would take away from the third film possibilites. But I want them closer and to tell each other how they feel! Please!

3) More back story for our crew- Inara-what made her leave Sihnon? Book's story, even Mal- what was his life like before the war, did he leave someone behind when he went to fight? Could this person appear again? Someone from his past that causes conflict between Mal and Inara ( though they still have to be together) or draw them closer together. And Jayne's past- where did he come from - we know his Mother sends him packages and knits him things and that he sends her money. Does he have a big family on a moon somewhere- Zoe- flashbacks of her and Wash- how thier relationship started would be interesting- to contrast the adjustment and pain and loss with the good memories of what was.

Okay I guess I have to stop now.

Once you've been in Serenity you never leave. You find a way to live in it.
