Do you happen to know the inside story as to how these pictures were acquired? Just curious if it was a fan sneaking on the set or someone actually working on the movie in some official capacity...

Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

Shiny -

I know the person who gave them to me; really shouldn't say much to avoid trouble. Interestingly, they're NOT a fan. Hopefully now they are :)

OMG

Inara is wearing pants!!!!

When I watched the beginning of Ariel last night, for some reason I noticed that Inara was dressed too fancy to be playing games with Kaylee and wondered if she has more casual clothes. Now I know.

I went and looked at the teaser again, and the skeleton and a shot of the stairs with the cast in front of them are in it, although briefly. Gosh, I really need to learn to stay away from spoilers.. :(

My other ship is a Mid-Bulk Transport Standard Radion Accelerator Core Class Code 03-K64 Firefly.

Is that the scene when they're all there? When the text says "They're back"? Very nifty - that's a great scene in the teaser.

(Crime) Scene Analysis:

Select to view spoiler:

I don't think those bodies have been reaverized. Not unless reavers are in the habit of skinning their victims, then drying and dressing the remains, then carefully positioning them as if they'd just fallen. Seems a bit too involved.

And they don't look skinned, they look dessicated. That guy in photo three seems to still have some hairs on his skull.

They seem to be lying where they died; I'd say they'd been shot and the bodies left long ago, except that the clothes and setting aren't as decomposed as the corpses themselves. They look like they might've been nuked, but I don't know of any nuclear device that can damage organic tissue that much and still not cause any collateral damage, if only from shockwaves.

Also, she may just be breaking character (if no actual filming was happening at that moment), but note how "confused" Morena looks. Nathan is almost certainly off-camera (or else Joss is doing an on-screen cameo), but he has a similar expression (possibly Joss is coaching him on something).

Extrapolation and Speculation:

Select to view spoiler:

Maybe this is the same town that we've been hearing about that was "hit by reavers." Mal and company show up (either to render assistance, raid the bodies, or let Book do right by the victims like he did in Bushwacked) and are visibly surprised/confused by what they see; this is not reaver handiwork.

About this time, River starts screaming uncontrollably and freaking out, saying "they're here, they're here. . . two by two. . ."

Very interesting interpretations there, Cyber. Complete shift of what I thought the movie was about if you're right - I HOPE you're right.

The photos are slashdotted; is there anything Browncoats are supposed to do in such situations to promote Firefly?

I suppose you could stick 'em up in the blue sun room...

'snark, et al:

Yeah, when I saw the pictures, I immediately thought,

Select to view spoiler:

"If they're Reaver victims, it's a pretty neat trick picking 'em clean without taking their clothes off." Now I'm thinking -- if realism has anything to do with it -- biological or chemical agent. Plain old mustard gas does a good job of advancing tissue destruction (blister agent) without destroying clothing. Of course, it could also be a weapons-grade flesh-eating virus. Aerial burst with aerosol delivery, perhaps...

Discounting some new trick by which the Blue Hands melt people's flesh -- why? when you could just use NBC weapons that have been around for 500+ years at that point -- there's obviously a very nasty group at work.

One final thought: To my eye, the clothing on the corpses does not appear 'western', but rather either Oriental or 'flower child'; lot's of sandals, loose mid-calf pants, and maybe a gi(?) on the corpse on the stairs. Are these the missing Chinese or is this a planetoid inhabited by refugees from NPR?

Food for thought...

Respectfully,

zoid
