Those are some excellent nods from the fans. Your next lark should include a classic western style brawl with breakable chairs.

Am I the only one who is pained by Jayne killing the unconscious wounded? Jayne double tapped two of Badger's completely defenseless henchmen. “I was just making sure,” was Jayne's excuse to Mal. That ain't a reason. It was Firefly for nihilists. Why would Mal keep Jayne on Serenity after that? You could explain away the immorality by saying the henchmen were already dead, but that's a load of sophist bull.
I'm a little late to be sending script notes to Connor Wilson, the writer, but Jayne's double murder could be cut out of this video without hurting the continuity. It is Monday morning and I am seriously grumpy about being at work. So, anybody that's offended by negativity, just ignore me.

No hard feelings at all, we want more criticism for this movie haha. We really just threw that in there because the actor who played Jayne is hilarious if you really know him well and that was kinda an insider for the cast and crew... but i totally understand where you're coming from

If Mike Vest is parodying Jayne then his shooting of henchmen laying unconscious is wicked fun. But if Jayne is being played as a real mercenary, well, then Jayne crossed the thin red line into Nazi war crime territory and he should hang by the neck until dead. (Don't worry, Jayne, because it is a smooth silk noose that doesn't leave an ugly rash on your corpse.) Since my hangover headache has gone away, I'm feeling generous so I'll call it wicked fun with Jayne. I was in too much pain to feel generous this morning, that's why my opinion changed.

Am I the only one who completely agrees with you?

Remember what Jayne once said? "These are stone killers, little man! They ain't cuddley, like me." And he was right. What we witnessed the 'new' Jayne doing here was an execution-style mob-hit. Very out of character for both Jayne and the rest of the crew, for that matter. They'll kill a man in a fair fight (or if it looks like he's gonna start a fair fight); or push him thru an engine, if need be. But never walking up to an unconscious person, riddling them with an etra hole, 'just to make sure.'

Having said that, it was an otherwise very shiny story. I had a little trouble at first adjusting to a very young cast, of which I think both Mal and River could really pull it off. The Jayne character just can't seem to plausibly overcome his young age (you really kinda need a thirtysomething for that role). The Mal really did very well in this regard. And River? Oh, River! She was actually pretty, erm, pretty. :) I could really envision her grapple with the... well, never mind that. Of course, her role was 'easier', in the sense of playing a girl her own age, but she did a brilliant River nonetheless. Chapeau!

Well, I understand where you're coming from about kinda getting out of character and all. Either way, the two guards were dead and he "was just makin sure" hahah. Anyway, we had hours of footage of Jayne just goin crazy and we just needed to throw somethin like that in. Plus, it was the very end of the editing process and we figured it was fine ahaha. (Apparently not... :/ )

I was a bit troubled by Jayne shooting the downed goons as well. It was jarring as it is out of character for what we've seen of Jayne so far. If there had been some driving motivation behind such an action, I could see it, but this seemed off.

Other than that, the film was excellent! The writing, character interaction, all of it was fun and entertaining. Can't wait to show it to some of the local browncoats to get their reactions.

Nice job!

I love the line about the grenades!!!
"I swear one day I'll tell him not to bring them."

Nice job explaining why Zoe wasn't there, though the whole white thing didn't make sense to me. I don't think the verse cares about race, just about being from the Core or the Rim and such...I just can't see Zoe caring if her parent's approve or not of Wash being white. But you needed an excuse so I understand.

I loved the cinematography of the fight scene when Jayne beat everyone up...very awesome camera work. I am a huge fan of long takes, so that made me happy. In some of the other scenes though, you need to be careful of the 180 degree rule. As an amateur filmmaker myself, I didn't know about it for my first "film" and I kept wondering why my edits were so apparent. If you keep the camera on one side of the line-of-action instead of jumping all around, the edits will seem more seamless and it won't break the eye-lines.

Nice CGI work! What program did you use?

On the whole, it made me smile and laugh and very happy to see that people are trying to bring new content. It was original and had a great episodic feel to it. I wanted more Kaylee and Simon though :P
