I only have one thing I do not want to see, and it's what I keep seeing people ask for. No prequel, and please don't say that it was all a dream!

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.
Sounds perfect! Please write the outline and send it to Mr. Whedon.

I'm wondering exactly what is meant when some of you mention prequel.
Do you mean prequel, as in before the Battle of Serenity Valley? That would only leave Mal, Zoe, and Tracy.
Do you mean prequel as in the 6 years between The Battle of Serenity Valley and the Pilot? That still leaves out Inara, Book, the Tams.
Do you mean prequel as in "interquel" of between episode 14 and BDM?
I normally don't like these, anticlimactic, but Lucas did start off with Episode 4.

This is my problem with a prequel. It's the easiest cop out ever to make Wash and Book still alive. There are comic books coming out sometime this winter that fill in the gaps between the last comics and the movie. Make me a sequel. Continue the story. Don't pull a George Lucas and make the back story worse than the ones we came up with on our own.

I don't have a problem narratively with a prequel--they all must have been doing *something* ten years before Serenity-the-Pilot, even though they were doing it on several different planets. However, I do think it would be tough for NF to play the innocent young recruit (or SG to play a seven-year-old)...

I have more than three and no way to narrow it down. So I'll just list a random three.
But first, wasn't Badger's crew killed by the Operative in the BDM? I thought they were part of the "kill everyone who's ever given them refuge" scheme. Maybe not.
1.) Zoe has Wash's child and constantly tells the baby stories about daddy Wash including how they ended up together. Complete with, yes, flashbacks. And perhaps Zoe could be a little lost or buggy but trying to hide it from the rest of the crew. Talking with her infant son could be her therapy.
2.) Jubal Early makes a reappearance. He didn't die floating around in space. And he's been looking for revenge ever since. Though that might be a little too similar to being pursued by The Operative. I just REALLY liked his character. 
3.) With all their other havens destroyed, they take refuge with a crew member's family. To me it doesn't matter who. I just think it would add a hint of the show's human element to what will probably need to be another epic movie. Maybe it could be Jayne's family. Only they don't know what he does for a living so he has to pretend to be a do-gooder while he's there. Like maybe he has a Big Mama who smacks him on the back of the head when he says something rude. That would be high-larious.
I could go on and on -- but I won't. Happy wishing!
Oh, and I love the wish about Serenity being taken away.

1. For the whole cast and crew to be back.
2. Niska. I miss the "reputation not so solid" guy that he is.
3. Yossafbridgejubalpatience and the guy who played the sherrif/marshall in train job and the loud mouthed mayor in Slither. He's pretty cool.
Seriously though.... just three? How about Mike Rowe of dirty jobs being a surprise character?
If wishes were horses... we'd all be eating steak but yeah... nothing wrong with wishing.

By prequel I mean, after Jubal Early and before BDM. Call it an in-between-quel or whatever, but that is my wish. Inara leaving, Book leaving, River exploring her mind reading skills and all that stuff.
Might not sound much like box office action hit, but it is nevertheless my wish.
And then more movies!! Duh!
If I get one more with Wash and also including Book's past we can then go on and explore lots of Mal vs Inara fun, River craziness, Jayne turning on them (and then it actually being like when Angel fooled Faith! ;) ), Zoe getting more interesting screen time, meeting Jayne's insane-while-knitting mother, Wash made into a Reaver but is really good and all that hopla
