I say worse for the two people involved. Eventually, you can move on from someone dying. They're gone. Not cheapening it, or anything, but it happens, and then the aftermath happens.
The XanderAnya situation, on the other hand, nobody's dead. The other person is still there, and is going to still be there for the foreseeable future (until they get killed off too.)
Which is worse, the torture from losing someone, or the torture from losing someone, and then having them right there in front of you every single day? Especially when, on some level, both still care for each other.
Guess it's a matter of opinion.

Quite a few more than two examples!!

I don't disagree on any particular point.

Well, I finished the series and went back and watched Serenity again last night.
I definitely would rather Firely was back on TV. 1 movie every couple years wouldn't do the character development justice, that these characters deserve. I prefer the slow (VERY SLOW), development of River throughout the series, for example, learning one new thing about her in a hour, rather than the "Holy crap! *Poof* she's a bad-ass" method that the movie needed to take to tell a bigger story in 2 hours.
Plus, I just think the crew of Serenity is maybe better suited to tell smaller little stories, rather than the bigger ones that are needed for movies. I prefer to see them doing a job.
Anyway though, back to reality, where movies may be the route they will have to take. Here's how I could see movies telling the stories of the crew.
1. Serenity - River's story. Already told, basically tells us who River is, and where she came from.
2. Shepard Book's story. I don't know what it is, but I'm sure it could make quite an interesting movie. Was he an Alliance Operative? A spy? An Assasin? I'm sure there is a "movie quality" story there to be told.
3. Zoe and Wash. It would almost be a romantic comedy, until he dies, at least.
4. The War - Mal's story (with a lot of Zoe too, I'm sure).
5. Inara's story - No explanation needed. Perhaps do it last and then have Inara and Mal ride off into the sunset together to end it all.
Jayne is actually my favorite character, but I don't see him having a "movie quality" story behind him. He was basically a petty theif. I think his stories are better suited for TV.
And, I'm sure I'll anger the Kaylee fan-club too, but I see her as having even less of a story to be told than Jayne. She was a backwoods little girl who had very little life experience, it seemed until her job on Serenity.
Maybe Simon's story could be told. How he tracked River down, and made the contacts to infeltrate the Alliance and get River back. I'm not sure if it's movie worthy or not though.

The absolutely, must-have, cannot-live-without story in BDM#2 is Inara and Mal. Together. Without one of them dying. I've been watching vids of the two of them, and rewatching episodes that feature the two of them, and gorramit, Mal deserves to be happy for once in his life! And Inara deserves to have her story told! And I need some release to all this angst that's been building up!
Um. Yeah, I'd like to see Kaylee's and Simon's relationship develop, and the Cobb Clan (fantastic idea, Milford!). But those are kind-of subplots. Also, Book's back-story and the Blue Sun, those are two mysteries I would love to see explained, as long as we can tie that in to Inara/Mal.
Seriously, Joss, if you're reading this thread for inspiration some day - don't make me come over there. Just give me my Inara/Mal storyline, and nobody gets hurt.

Deffo more development of Mal and Inara id love to see how that went.
Also more on Blue Sun and how they are involved with River ect.
Also i wouldnt mind seeing how Simons and Rivers parents could be involved too.
Forgot to add;
More development of Book and how hes involved with the Alliance(e.g. on that one episode when he gets that card out)
And lastly to see how Kaylees and Simons relationship gets on.

1. I too feel screwed out of M/I interaction. I'm not suggesting a proper hook up, but at least a strong conversation. Truthiness.
2. Stoic Zoe. I want to see what her world is like without her light in it. No baby, however. Too schticky.
3. Simon and Kaylee as happy couple, they deserve it. Wedding, if we get out Big Damn Trilogy.
4. We need a past on Book. And Inara also. Also, is she still in the Guild?
5. Kinda joking, but my husband would like a quick shot of the Operative in his new life running into YoSafBrige. Mal, figures they deserve each other and moves along.

In no particular order:
Zoe snaps
Mal and Inara finally level with each other about their feelings
Jayne saves the crew at extreme personal risk (cementing his loyalty)
More about Blue Sun
More about River (e.g. meeting other "students", more encounters with the blue hands, more secrets that she knows, more a**-kicking)
I could probably think of more if it wasn't 11:20

Well, this being Fireflyfans, I'd say you're preaching to the choir. I'm sure we'd all prefer the series back the way it was, but I'm sure we'd also take anything we can get at this point, hense the thread. :p

I think we should have seen more of Jayne's hat.
No, I'm quite serious.
Stop laughing.
