More her life before slayerdom. How did she become so closed-off and cynical?

This idea isn't mine, but one I saw posted here a long time ago. I probably don't remember it word for word, but this is the general idea.

The captain of the alliance vessel from Bushwhacked has his eyes opened by his run in with our BDHs. He takes a whole new approach to his first command in the outer rim. He begins to see that the world isn't as black and white as his Alliance training had taught him. He goes on to struggle with ethics and morals. Possibly eventually even losing his command and going out on his own to either try to take down the alliance, help out the people of the rim, or just to survive the Alliance trying to track him down.

As an added bonus you could throw in either the dirty Alliance cops we saw in the Message, or maybe have him make a deal with the crew of the vessel we see in Out of Gas (once he has a falling out with the Alliance).

I think Joss could take a story like that all sorts of places.

Joss already alluded to River captaining her own ship at the end of the BDM, on the CE commentary, as she pilots Serenity into atmo.

River is one character that could definitely carry her own spin off and Summer has the recognition and talent to be successful. And the guest appearances from her extended family which have grown older, wiser and possibly settled, would work well.

Maybe after The Chronicles.

Shiny idea! I often thought about just that - would Joss ever show anyone from the people that broke River out of the Alliance' grasp.

That takes guts, planning and a whole lotta balls.

Awesome idea Slowhand.

P.S. After reading the other ideas, you guys are good. Some very shiny ideas to continue the 'verse. I really liked the one with River having her own FF and the one about the Aliance commander.

Shiny! Let's be bad guys!
