That one interview could redirect the path of fan fiction for some time to come. Not just the Mal and River part, but the Wash/Zoe part and the Mal at the end part. Sigh. Wish I could just crawl into Joss's head for a little while, peek around the Firefly future plot lines part, and satisfy that persistent nagging itch that just won't go away.

Unfortunately, I find Joss’s confirmation of what he wanted to do to be consistent with how I personally view the verse, characters and relationships, which isn’t a Fairytale, by any means, I’m not sure how that makes me feel, though.
The analogy of Giles to Buffy, Mal to River and Boyd to Echo is brilliantly drawn by the interviewer and is addressed admittedly, by Joss. It leads sweetly into Joss’s conversation about his relationship with his own father, something I don’t think he’s ever spoke about in an interview with such depth.
Wash alive in a real marriage with Zoe wrapped with love, respect and forgiveness, but fraught with conflict and problems definitely resonates with what we saw building in the series and comics.
Mal, emotional, at the end…yeah, Joss said he liked to punish him, I’m not so sure I want to see…cause it’s going to be terminally sad and the ending could go either way.
Anyway, the interviewer (whom, I’m unfamiliar with) gave us fabulous insights into Joss the writer and the man, highly recommended.

I know exactly what you mean. The 'verse as it is - meaning incomplete - can be open to interpretation in fan fic. As soon as Joss gets to finish it, I don't think the little bit of happy we saw Mal get in Firefly here and there is ever going to happen again. I know many people are drawn to angst. But I would rather see solutions. How difficult situations can be overcome by your belief in - whatever. But I still would like to know what Joss planned to do with everyone. I would just like it to have ended positively. Oh wait, this is from the creator of Dr Horrible!

I much prefer Serenity overall. I love Firefly but I think by the studio's request the characters had become softened. I much prefer the hardened edge the film took
I'd wanna see another movie, set 5 or so years after Serenity, with a couple of NEW peeps on the crew, one possibly being Jayne's wife or sumthin'.
