Quote:Originally posted by DeadlyUnpredictableMidget: 2) Now that it is clear that River is a weapon, the plots will need to take on more complexity to be believable. Mere heists aren't enough of a challenge, she's too powerful. (...) a kick-ass River would be a major draw to growing the fan base and sustaining a series. (anyone remember Buffy) Expanding the stage (no not Serenity, the scope) by putting River's abilities amidst bigger, badder foes than the backwater foes we got used to would also deal with this (refer to my first point about the makings for a war).

Quote:Originally posted by asarian: Personally, I'd rather not go there. When I first saw the BDM, before having seen FireFly, I thought: "Okay, this girl's got some elegant moves on her." Now, about 6 weeks later, the whole River as fighting machine, though cute to watch perhaps, is really an aspect about River I'm least interested in. As far as I'm concerned, River's vulnerability is her strength (I know, that's not a line that would do real well on that "gorram doll" Serenity poster, but I'm sure there're folks who get my full meaning). The very last thing I need, sorry to say, is a Buffy-like River, POW, POW, slaying Reavers. You know, there's a reason I never watch Buffy, and always watch River. I hope River stays the tender person she is; strong enough for us to feel happy for her growth; but vulnerable enough to keep you realizing it was Love for his beloved mei-mei that drew Simon half the way across the galaxy, unstoppable, to rescue her. That same Love is what draws people to FireFly, and to the theatre, and to the DVD stores. Equally unstoppable. Hmm, been up nearly 24 hours now. Need sleep. Just wanted to say something about my River. -- "Mei-mei, everything I have is right here." -- Simon Tam

Quote:Originally posted by StarSong: GWEK -- I LOVED those episodes -- THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I never thought I'd get another "old school" Firefly fix, and there it was. Very nicely done -- a seamless transition! Oh, there ain't no words in the 'verse that can say how nice it was to stay up way too late reading 'em all. *************** Now, as to post-BDM... I dunno. The one thing I *don't* want to see is "Buffy Part II." Buffy is Buffy. Firefly is Firely. Both have their own personality, and well... mixing it like that seems like it'd just muddy 'em both up. So for that reason, I really REALLY don't want to see "SuperRiver" who can fly better'n Wash, fight better'n Jayne, so forth and so on. It makes too many other characters pointless, and kills so much of the mutual interdepence that makes the dynamic work. And yet, for someone for whom everything comes "as naturally as breathing" it's hard to believe she'd be otherwise. Thus, if we MUST be post-BDM I think we need to loose River, or at least her "super-powers." Whether that means a relapse into crazy-town (Objects in Space with the "River-Eye-View" segments has got to be one of, if not my very, favorite episodes), passing her off to some Obi-Wan Kenobi type mentor to whisk her off to her own adventures offscreen, or (horrors!) kill her off... something needs to resolve that. Actually, having her dissappear and have the crew try to find her/get her back would make a nice story arc, while keeping the Super-River problem from resurfacing. Personally, I just want to see more great Joss dialog and more of the 'verse. edit.. oh yeah.. and some nekkid Jayne. Yum! :)
