I have to agree with you, HopeRules. When I saw the movie, I didn't know anything about the movie or the show (I didn't even know firefly existed). I just saw a preview for the movie and it looked cool. After that, I was hooked and found out about Firefly. The point is, for people like me it would have made no sense if Simon HADN'T reacted the way he did in the BDM because the only info we had was that he gave everything up to protect his sister. At that point, I knew nothing about what Simon and Mal had been through together, and I would've been confused as hell if Joss had tried to refer to that (more confused than I already was about the Chinese, the war, and a bunch of other stuff that gets explained in Firefly).
I think what Joss was trying to do was satisfy Firefly fans by providing some sort of closure and an awesome movie AND not leave new viewers completely in the dark, and let them enjoy the awesome movie. Some little inconsistencies are the price for that goal, but I think everyone involved did a great job.
