In earnest, ForeverShiny, it's indeed doubtful, as I pointed out myself in another thread today, that Book was really talking to River directly. More likely, I always thought, he was thinking about something he did in his own past. I just know how shocked I was when I saw him being so brutal in the direction of River; just a whole lot of latent evilness that I care not to see River exposed to, is all. So, I would like to believe that Book's "I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not" thought was directed at Jayne; cuz I do not like the alternative. :)

As for River in a ship, well, y'all know how I feel about that. :( I think Mal should be with Inara, a woman of his own age, and not be taking advantage of a broken 17 year old girl. :( But I stand rather alone in that belief, it seems. Sigh. Did not mean to spoil the mood. Sorry.

I think that we all have smutty minds ;) But, seriously I want to see more Sane River and Mal PLATONIC interaction, as it would really shake things up, just with people having to deal with someone who is capable of so much and who is no longer fettered by what has been done to her.

Mal would never take advantage of any type of River situation, but if Inara suddenly becomes amenable and available how would he react to her (Inara)? Not sure if he would allow himself that kind of happiness...

I just watched Serenity, the episode, again; and I saw Mal kiss a cross hanging around his neck! Hadn't noticed that before! So, I guess he lost his faith at the Serenity Valley battle. Interesting. Would suddenly like to know a bit more about Mal's past.

I would like to see more back story on Kaylee. She just up and leaves her home planet, I mean she claims to never have been on a ship before. she left everything she knew. What was her planet like? Who were her parents and friends? Why is she so intuitive about ships?

oh, and I would love to see how Zoe handles life after Wash. I hope she is pregnant.
(That is the feminine side of me coming out .)

Hiya, first time poster here...

After some thought, I sort of imagined that Zoe would leave Serenity after the death of her husband. After all, her now reckless style of fighting is a liability and the ship probably reminds her of Wash too often.

She'd become a guest star, possibly buying her own ship and mimicking Mal's lifestyle. She'd make a strong captain.

With Simon and Kaylee, it's really up in the air as to what might happen. Their pre-movie relationship always made for great moments in the series but with the absence of the Zoe/Wash coupling they might become the show's hitched pair. Given how different Simon is from Wash and Kaylee is from Zoe, they would be able to pull it off without seeming like a cheap replacement.

New crew members might show up, I think it would be funny if they had a guest star that acted a lot like Jayne which he might find wonderful in the beginning but slowly begin to realize just how much Simon hates him by the way his 'twin' acts.

One of the most important changes would be the Mal/Inara relationship. I have no good comments to add on where that might go.

Finally, Book. Now, he was one of my favorite characters and even if he was an agent or spy, he can't be a bad guy. The reason I say this is because if you remember on The Message when it looks like Book is selling out Mal and Zoe's resurrected army buddy when in actuality he has a much smarter plan that shows that Joss likes to play those sort of games with Book's character and I think that Book's enigmatic phrase in Objects In Space is an allusion to some perplexing, ultimately just twist involving Book that may never be known.

And Book, well (now, don't all y'all get mad at me), but I think I can survive the shock of him not being around any more. I dunno why. I liked his presence plenty. But he was so brutally mean/evil to River (when she read his mind) in Objects in Space, that I'm almost relieved he's not around her any more. Sorry. :(

I always saw Book as expendable, so I didn't see his death as a major event...just something that would naturally occur.

I would like to see Zoe dealing with Wash's death, River's true personality coming out now that she's not psychotic, and find out what Inara's secret is as well as what's going on with Blue Sun.

Wash: Yeah, but psychic? That sounds like science fiction.
Zoe: You live on a spaceship, dear.

I agree on the subject of River... Only I hold my composure about it instead of screaming...

Well, of course, I'd want to see all the BDH's again (w/ Wash and Book as dreams/flashbacks, as previously mentioned). I could easily Zoe managing to cope w/ the loss of Wash by remembering past interaction (flashbacks) and in dreams...and not really letting go. Conflict perhaps when she finds someone who's interested in her and compatable. Book's past would be a great, slowly unfolding, mystery (as the crew encounters folks who knew him, some who assume they had a part in or knowledge of his former life).

Mostly I'd want to see Joss's very clever story-telling...where I'm happily surprised or deeply disturbed at a realization about an event or someones actions several episodes prior as something new is revealed...where character's evolve and it's not the same story over and over.

Hi, K4S4Eva, welcome and *hands K a browncoat*
here's your gear.

We are very glad to have you and hope you will be happy here as this is home. Welcome home.

As for Mal and Inara getting together... well, I sorta disagree there. I love Mal, oh do I ever, just ask around and I would love to see their relationship get better and be less strained, but for the show, for the story, that just won't work. There has to be tension between them, otherwise the show will end...I know I know, there are other characters.. but think Moonlighting people. Remember that show. Dave and Maddy got together, it deflated like a baloon.

So...I wouldn't be for them getting together, just perhaps being a little less strained.
What can I say.... I like it when they fight! It's funny! Usually. Maybe the very last season... next to last show. WHEN they bring our crew back.
