Woah! Talk about some good ideas! Actually, I was thinking something similar a while after I posted this thread and came up with a few other notions as listed below:
1) The whole notion of Government as quoted by Book of Mal suggests that what's going on with River, the whole 'home-grown-human-organs' bizzo, Reavers, and what may be going on with Inara might be occuring as independent activities that none of the other internal Government factions knows much about. There could be counterproductive secret service issues all occuring at once, and what exactly are they up to ...
2) Are there Independent/Guerillas/Terrorist actions still going on to explain the need for such a high Alliance military presence just about everywhere, and what exactly are they up to?
3) Would Mal and Zoe get involved in a new war of Independents vs. Alliance considering how the Independents command betrayed them and their men on Serenity last time? Where would the others fall on the issue and why? Would any responses appear to be out of character and what motivates this?
4) Book refered to Zoe as Ma'am when they rescued Mal from Nisca in Season One, and he knows how to use weapons and handle himself in a scrap (pretty well too) and all about sniper stuff (he's also a very good shot), so exactly who was he fighting for during his military career, and why did he choose to join Serenity and her crew? Was he still fighting some secret covert war? Are there more like him?
5) I'm pretty sure Nisca and most of the other contacts Serenity made won't be coming back for Season two after the Alliance 'discouraged' them from associating with Serenity, so where do Mal and his family go now if a new war does begin? Further out? Into a neighbouring quadrant? Or will they be forced further in to avoid the fighting despite Alliance covert actions against them?
I'm not sure if River try to free any of her fellow inmates Dark Angel style, seeing as its been done before and is probably best avoided, but I like the idea of it all coming apart and biting the Alliance in the butt. A political change within the Alliance might be interesting, as this may cause the Independents to fracture with supporters and embittered disadents seeking faster change or retribution.
Perhaps a story from the perspective of some Alliance task force sent after Serenity would be good; the movie ending being portrayed as Independent lies and properganda. In any case, Serenity and her crew would literally be seen as pirates and outlaws or simply listed as terrorists (unknown to the general populace) by the powers that be. This would be a good way for a new character to be introduced, actually; an Alliance soldier capyured or who captures one or more of Serenity's crew and begins to question what he's been told ...
