This one sounds amazing!! I love the plotty set-up for later episodes and the crew development (River??) weaved together!
He, He. Yes it's River....

Plus, the contaminated air aspect would create some nice moments of irrational claustrophia... they're surrounded by space every day but poisenous air? Ooooh! Brilliant!
Also, since you post with episode numbers and all... plllleeeeeeaaase, tell me you have three extra seasons worth of episode blurbs! :D
Yes. Seasons Two and Three will be mainly comprised of self-contained episodes but this season, season four has an arc (Kinda :D)
and the poor air quality will come to have further significance at a later stage :)
Thanks for the kind words.

Uh oh. I'm torn between it being PAX-related, and it being related to either River's brain or someone's unborn child. Or maybe they just all get a bad cough and need to take a special vacation episode? Argh! *handflap*
Share something from Season 3! :D

Earth That Was left so many unexplored story opportunities.
One question though......how can a dead Wash father a child?

Wasn't really considering the Film at this stage. I'm focusing between Episode 16 and SERENITY. (Or I suppose there's even scope to go in between the firefly episodes too....)

Bribes are good! Back handers, brown envelopes, a duffel bag left beside your foot at the airport terminal... All's good :D Even jelly beans have been known to work. :P

Well I was going to concentrate on Book in Season three. The core element being that there is a high priced 'Hit' out on the good Shepherd. It's a curious build up at first but as the season goes on more and more of these hits take place and eventually Book has to leave Serenity to try and put an end to it. How he does it and just whom is issuing these hits is the mystery. I'll see if I can do a couple tonight.

What a fun thread this is. Kinda like the old days of FFF.net. (Like I would know. I'm coming up on my 3-year FFF.net birthday.)

"After a job he sets up for the BDH goes wrong, Badger winds up married to Yo-Saff-Brig."
The beginning of a whole story arc...

I do not htink I've seen this approach taken to a Book plot before! Especially if the mystery is not resolved at all but rather even heightened!
Also, I would be most delighted!

I've worked on this one awhile, the specifics aren't there, but the structure of the story skeleton is worked out in my mind.
Season 2 episode 18 "We Were Soldiers"
In an opening sequence, we are gifted with a new sequence from the war. Mal is between battles and eating with Browncoat solders in a trench. The sequence ends with him staring into a cup of water in his hand. Transition: we are now shown Mal, sitting alone in the dinning room in Serenity, with a cup on the table and he's lost in thought. He gets up to join the crew to see whats going on, since they just left a world and are flying into the black from port and Kaylee is calling everyone into the cargo hold to show/tell them something. I don't know what Kaylee wants to show the crew...It could be an object she aquired, or wants to talk about someone she met on planet, or any number of different things. But whatever it is, Mal reacts BADLY to it. As in he turns into a total A-hole and makes Kaylee cry thus upseting Inara who scolds him. Everyone else has a vocal opinion about Mal's bad behavior (including River who says something cryptic) except for one person: Zoe. There needs to be a camera angle on her in the scene showing her looking at Mal, wordlessly. It should be subtle, like an easter egg for fans to find later, as they will come to understand that Zoe knows exactly why Mal is upset.
The remainder of the episode consists of various flashbacks to the War, where we learn the truth of Mal's bad reaction to Kaylee. The episode finishes with Mal back in the dinning area, again with his cup, sitting in silence. The final scene ends with a camera angle of his face in frame looking away towards his cup in thought, and we watch as a single tear leaks from an eye. It is the first time we have ever seen such emotion from him. A mournful rim world fiddle plays over this scene and holds a final note as we read "Executive Producer, Joss Whedon"
Many of the best Buffy episodes hold sound into that 1st credit for dramitic effect.
I've had this episode in my mind for 3 years. I don't know the specifics, just the framework. I'd leave it to Joss to Wow us.
