That space below the bridge is for the camera guy to capture those cool shots of Mal standing at the helm being all Captainy and stoic.

I thought for awhile that it was the "Battle Bridge" but Serenity doesn't have any guns....

I think all the curves of the ship and all the little stairs cause some perceptional problems -- for me at least.

I think the area beneath the bridge holds computer/navigation equipment. Isn't that where they were when trying to ungum the works that Saffron gummed up in OMR?

I've drawn up a ROUGH floorplan to see how it jibes with the rest of your thoughts.

Ummm -- how do I post a picture?

Mmmm... you could send it to Haken, or get a free website from Geocities or something and then post the link.

Kaylee: You know, it's funny you should mention that... ever heard of the Fox network?

If you scroll down on their page, they have the sketches from Joss Whedon on the layout of the ship. It shows you where everything is, and I'm guessing you can connect the rest.

There is clearly a room below the bridge, but it is unlabeled. Perhaps that is the office to the Writer’s Guild.

Prehaps I'm the only one who cares(wouldn't suprise me), but I have two quick Q's about the layout of the ship.

1. That ladder they use in bushwhacked and objects in space to get into the ship, was that just not present in the pilot or am I seeing things?

2. Where the heck does that ladder/staircase thing in the middle of the cockpit/bridge go?

In most airliners, the area just below the cockpit, is the avionics bay. I would imagine that those stairs on the bridge lead to sensors, navagation computers, radio equipment, etc. The door below the stairs (in the hallway lead to the bridge) probably leads to the same place.

I also noticed a second smaller door at the rear of the bridge, to the right of the main entrance. I'm guessing that's a bathroom (head).

I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

In commentary, Joss had specifically mentioned that they had not decided what was down there. They knew they had a space there, but they hadn't assigned it a purpose.
However, that bridge was HUGE. Anybody who has been in a cockpit knows how cramped it is. Hollywood always makes cockpits 4-5 times their real size, like in modern planes even.

On the QMX blueprints, the room you are asking about is labeled "Armory." The "Avionics Bay" is directly in front of the bridge. There is also an "Escape Pod" and an airlock. The blueprints for the ship can be seen here:

eprints/

Find the pdf, and open go to page 7. It's a little hard to read, but it's there. I'm waiting for those blueprints to come out in book form so I can drool over them.
