Out of all the deleted scenes, I think the extended version of the Mal/Inara escape or the talk betwen Sheydra and Inara should've been kept. I went to see the movie with someone who had never seen the movie and the whole time she was whispering 'Okay so he's in love with some fancy hooker and they used to screw alot?'
A little extra of Inara, since you have her in the final fight, the thing that Mal cares most about, would've helped establish who she was exactly. Two-five extra minutes wouldn't have hurt anything.
However, I am totally gratefull that these deleted scenes were included.

I shouldn't have to remind you, but apparently I do anyway, that Joss was the first one to say he wanted those scenes in the movie. Not all of them, obviously, but he very clearly says that he wanted some of them in but had to remove them for reasons that would not apply to the proposed project.
How the hell is saying, "Joss is right," going to insult him?

I just wish he kept that one-shot River fighting the reavers part going on longer. I always felt that part was too short, and on the commentary he said something about there being more to it.

(From my post at the OB)
I just want to say that I respect Joss' editing decisions, I think he made the best movie he possibly could (not to mention my favourite film ever!!!), it's just with the lack of Serenity/Firefly out there, to me, every character exchange counts. Like in X-men, where the deleted scenes interfere with the flow, I can see that. But know what? I watch it both ways depending on my mood.
I got Serenity in full and widescreen for the same reason. Isn't full screen a butcher-job on the perfect widescreen director's vision? Yeah. But sometimes I just want my BDH's up close and personal, y'know?
Now I'm not gonna be extreme and say we need a fan cut where Wash lives to make everyone happy, but the other footage EXISTS and was IN various incarnations during advanced screenings, why shouldn't we want to see some of what we couldn't when many or most of us couldn't be there for those cuts of the BDM?
Just a thought (in a rambling kinda way...).
