I think it's War Stories and Objects in Space.

You are right, Sarah. Heart of Gold takes place after WS, but before OiS.

So what Inara/Mal moments are different with this new spoilery knowledge? Nothing from WS, but OIS?

Whoa, hey now: first,from OiS:

Inara, "I don't know why I haven't left already."

Mal, "I don't know what's keeping you/forcing you to stay." (me being lazy and not looking up the exact words)

So um, without being explicit, that makes no sense in light of this missing ep . . .

So, in case the title of the thread wasn't spoiler warning enough:

**********SPOILER WARNING!************

. . . unless Inara has made her statement to leave, and now she has reneged on that comment because she is just weak in the knees, and waiting for Mal to tell her no. Perhaps procrastinating, giving Mal plenty of time to keep her from leaving at all? She's definitely afraid of herself/her emotions . . . it just seems odd that they would go back to their song and dance after that.

Second, In the kitchen scene discussing River, Inara busts in to the snickering saying that it isn't a laughing matter, that what they are discussing is their lives, and River's life. Now, if she was gonna go ahead with what she claimed (I'm trying to be all discreet here), then wouldn't she just have said, "This is River's life we're talking about?" or "River and your life"?

Third, the final scene where Mal checks out her cut lip, and she pushes his hand away, and Mal has a big 'whoops, I just crossed that line that I have no right to cross' look on his face.

That actually still makes sense. That was actually the scene that said something happened between them in HoG. That some new progression in their relationship happened, and it backfired badly. Now we know what it was.

Is it safe to discuss the actual script here? Should we do big spoilery warnings at the top of each post? What's this sites etiquette on such things?

I don’t know if I was the only one, but when I read this script it didn't sound all that Firefly-like to me. It did have a few jokes that sounded great, but I'm trying not to say too much and spoil it for other fans. I think a lot of what makes Firefly so wonderful is the cast and the acting, not just the script, so maybe that was why it didn’t quite click for me. But just to argue and question, how do we know that this is the actual script? I think everyone knew that Heart of Gold had a plethora of whores and a bordello on a dusty planet, so it could be faked. Maybe I’m just paranoid. Did anyone else notice the same things?

Ahah! So that's how you do it!

I agree that there is a potential for falsification, either in its entirety, or even in missing scenes or changed dialogue. There's nothing stopping the guy who transcribed this for us to alter it, either to f*ck with us, or to save some really big surprise for when we finally see it

Is this gonna turn into a completely blank thread?

See, I thought it sounded very Firefliery to me.

I was reading it, going . . . I should never have attempted to write a fic . . . my feeble attempts to fill the void since FF's untimely demise pale in comparison to this, fake or genuine . . .

This is GREAT!!!

I am going to go home and read this tonight! I am so happy to be able to at least read one of the three unaired episodes if nothing else.

Scene 30 has a note indicating that Scene 31 should be shown first. I juxtaposed them and swapped the scene numbers.

Early: You ever been raped, Kaylee?
Kaylee: You know, it's funny you should mention that... ever heard of the Fox network?

I can't get in. The site appears to either be down, or the traffic has gotten out of control.

Is this script posted anywhere else?

It is working okay for me. Try again.

I did. It's the link that wouldn't work.

If I went to the actual site and got into the thread it worked.

Should there have been more than just up to Act Two? If so, I can't get to it.

Was pretty impressed with what I did read.

Got a good Firefly fix there but I'd like to read more, if it's available!
