I enjoyed the interview. Poor Summer! If someone said something mean about me just before I went on live television, I'd probably be a little more nervous myself. It definetly showed that she we nervous. Lucky for her she had Mr. Chilvalrous himslef sitting next to her! How amazing is Nathan?!
I thoght it was so cool when the interviewer said,"it's like this could go on forever. You could just keep adding threads to this story and it could go on forever." And Summer's response was,"we want it to!" It was sincere, and what's more, it gives me hope.
As for what Nathan said about killing Mal in the last episode.... Why not kill him? This BDH gives his all to protect his little family. Would it not be satisfying--in a morbid and depressing sort of way--to see him die trying to save those people that he loves? What if his last act was saving lttle Kaylee and River? I think that if the surviving seven last until the very end, and then Mal dies, Serenity will still be able to keep flyin'. He brought them together so why should his death disband them? I think that Joss could find a way to satisfy Nathan's hope as well as satisfy his audience. He is the genius that created this 'verse!
I downloaded the extended clip, and all I got was the audio: no visual. Shoot, I even tried twice. Any tips anyone?
Thx
Wacky fun!

The other way to end this would be to kill off everybody *except* Mal, and as a final shot have Mal as an old man sitting on a porch of a modest homestead on a desolate planet, all alone and somberly looking off into the distance.

I used the word "inevitable" because once the character of Tara was created and cast, she was built to die so that Willow would go crazy!evil. She's the only character that had a whole arc planned out in such a way.

Chuckster,
The hoped for, dreamed of, prayed for, begged for, BDSequel and movie after that!
The cast have mentioned a trilogy, Nathan particularly in interviews, and I believe Joss has said there is more story in his head after this movie.... so.... we're waitin' and wishin'!
" You hold. Hold til I get back." Mal

This would be my ending-Mal as an old man sitting with his and Inara's children (or grandchildren) and the son/daughter (I feel sure it would be a girl) of Wash and Zoe all around with their children. They are groaning a bit-Mal is getting ready to them ANOTHER annoying story about the BDH's
At the moment of his death cut to the inside of Serenity-every one is there and in their prime, there are greetings all around welcoming Mal and the last shot is of Serenity flying off into space. Maybe a bit of buffer panel flying off as it goes out of sight.
Is that too much like Titanic? It would be fitting though

Thanks for that link! This new fan was glad to see it. Someone mentioned the idea of this being better recieved in the UK. Why? And why wasn't this better received here in the US?
For one thing the idea of guns is generally considered offensive and inherently evil to most UKers I know - I'm surprised this frontier mentality isn't a complete turn off to most of them...?

Whoa! I was totally imagining a Titanic-like ending even before I read that next line. I'm not so fond of seeing them all old and crotchety, but if Serenity crashed (to save the 'verse), then I could see it.
If Joss ever kills Mal off I'm gonna cry like a baby! I could imagine that really heroic end where he sacrifices himself for his crew/family, but I would prefer to believe that he's still flying. I think killing Mal off really would be the end, and that's not smart franchise-wise. If Mal's still out there they can always make comic books and whatnot.
Watching Kaylee die would definitely turn on the waterworks (I'm attached to all the characters, but she's so sweet). Perversly, part of me almost wants Kaylee to die so we can see the reactions in the crew. I think both Mal and Jayne would break down eventually. Horrible!... but compelling. I don't think anyone would have to die in a second movie, but I think it would be almost guaranteed in a trilogy.
I'm afraid another movie would necessitate another grand theme, which could mean going after the Alliance again. I don't want the BDH trying to bust up the Alliance - that smacks of Star Wars. I liked the more internal story lines, with no one Bad Guy. Work on exploring the characters instead ... wait, does that make it more like Empire Strikes Back? Well, I trust in Joss.
Last thing, I swear. It was so sweet how Nathan had his arm behind Summer during the interview, like he was protecting her from That Evil Woman.
Jayne: I once hit a guy in the neck from 500 yards with a bent scope. Don't that count upstairs?
Book: Oh, it'll be taken into consideration.
Jayne: You made that sound kind of ominous.

Do you have the DivX codec? I used to have that type of trouble with .avi files until I downloaded DivX.

Second one down, "DivX Play Bundle". It's a "Free Download".
