Erm, Alan Tudyk... not just the voice, but the whole "Serkis" thing. Pretty much my gist...

I feel the same. I think River is getting a grip on her condition and learning to control it more and more. I have a feeling that the Alliance is going to be very sorry that they ever messed with little River Tam's brain.
If its not River as pilot though, I vote for Bruce Campbell. He and Nathan would be a riot!

I could see Bruce playing a recuring character; perhaps tied to lighter episodes - maybe captain of a rival scavenger crew in a Mad Mad Mad Mad 'Verse kind of situation - but as a regular I think he might be just a bit too big. Firefly is about more or less regular people trying to eke out their existence in the void while Campbell is more of a mythological being type of presence.
Plus I suspect that if him, Nathan, and Sean ever share the same screen there is a definite possibility of their chins collapsing into a black hole to our collective doom.

I dont beleive you can replace wash, he was and still is the best suited to the role.
He should never have been killed off in the movie, it was not needed.
But if he does need to be replaced-
THEY SHOULD INTRODUCE HIS TWIN BROTHER THAT NONE OF THE CREW NEW ABOUT ACCEPT ZOEY,USING THE SAME ACTOR BUT PLAYING HIS BROTHER.

IF there is some form of sequel (movie or series)I think that Joss will outsmart us all in this respect. But its fun to discuss nevertheless. 
So heres my thoughts on this subject. (It was a awhile since I saw the movie so please bear with me if I get things wrong.)
First of all, I would not like to see a prequel as it wouldnt not move the story forward and give some bigger answers as what happened after the Reaver/Miranda broadcast.
What I think/hope a new production will deal with is the impact of the Reaver/Miranda broadcast to the people in the verse. Perhaps in the form of an uprising where Mal gets to deal with some of his "ghosts" from Serenity valley and the war. This combined with the Reaver threat could give some interesting development of the story. Perhaps in the lines of The Alliance and the new forming Browncoats going at each other again but in the end need to cooperate to meet the Reaver threat?
As to the pilot question I think it should go in the lines of "theres no given pilot" The problem of losing Wash is that they dont have a pilot to take his place wich gives some twists to the operations the crew embark on. (Read problems) Example: in the middle of a job River starts seeing the pursuing ships as butterflies or Mal taking the helm and the rest of the crew rushes to strap in giving each other funny looks
One thing that has been bubbling in my mind is Wash coming back as a Reaver. 
We pretty much dont know that much how new Reavers are formed. The only thing we know is the Miranda information and the guy turning Reaver in "Bushwacked".
So guys and girls the possibilites are endless. And if theres a new move/series Joss will outsmart us all. That we can be sure of!

just as a lot of people already said, I'd say it's River. we know that "everything comes as naturally to her as breathing comes to us". she demonstrates that at the end of serenity. moreover, River closely identifies with the ship, even becomes the ship in Objects in Space. strengthening that bond with the ship by flying it makes a lot of sense, it could actually work as a kind of therapy for River.

I like River as a pilot. But I actually like her more as an additional fighter with Mal/Jayne/Zoe.
I can just see the look on the faces of the poor poor disreputable men when the little girl in the floral dress brought along by Mal to a secret roundeszous goes crazy-nuts on the henchmen when they try the inevitable double cross.
I think a new pilot would be the most likely scenario. I think back to the Buffy and Angel verse where beloved characters were killed off and new ones took their place, also to become quite popular after a while. I also suspect that we have difficulty with the new pilot idea because we've lived with the same characters and 14 episodes for much longer than would be normal if the series had the chance to develop. Now it seems unthinkable.

I think ryan reynolds is an excellent choice. He definitely can bring some comedy just like the departed wash. it's kind of interesting to see a captain not piloting the ship. Those types of details really make this show unique oh and of course river would be the obvious choice.
