I have a question.

During Firefly, was there ever mention of an investigation for finding Lawrence Dubson's body and or his killers after the initial episode - I can't quite remember? And when the crew are questioned during Bushwacked by the Alliance officer should there not have been mention that the last known where abouts of Agent Dobson was aboard a Firefly class ship....?

Even in the film when the Operative views Mal's files -should his name not have lit up all sorts of lights saying 'possible involvement in the death of a federal agent!' or sume such?

Just wondering....?

Sadly, since Serenity didn't air first, Joss didn't feel the need.

Carrying fugee's + killed Fed would have up'd the tentions even more. More Alliance. More drama. More narrow escapes.

Gorramit.

After Mal shot Dobson, didn't he check him to make sure. Even Jayne thought Dobson was buzzard food. (Yes, I read the comic.) If it's canon that he didn't die (the first time), I'll go with it. But my rule is: if Dobson gets to live, then so does Wash.

In "Those left behind" (the comic) Dubson wasn't killed, my guess is if "Firefly" had lasted that story would have been an episode.

Ah righto. Must say it wouldn't be like Joss to leave a huge story plot like that just floating around - so figures he'd resolve it somehow...

Well thanks EC.

Rahl. You realise Joss would probably have killed Wash off and maybe one or two more anyhow had the show gone on... Least this way we've only lost two. It doesn't bare thinking about what he'd have done to Inara or Kaylee!!!

I cant find my copy of Those Left Behind...

...but it's my information and belief that although Dobson lived, didn't Mal kill him "again" at the end?

In which case, yes that might show up on the Cortex.

Except by then Dobson was just another outlaw working with Blue Sun, which can never be admitted due to plausible deniability. So Dobson's demise might not show up on the Cortex, even for the Operative.



That's my story and I'm stickin to it.
