I was thinking the other day about minor characters that were only in one or two episodes of our favorite shows (the Big Three talked about here most often) and wondering which ones I would have enjoyed seeing again. Not necessarily in a big story arc or as a regular cast member, but maybe in another stand alone episode. Here are some that I thought of:

Val Trepkos from "The Ring" in Angel. He was cool.
Womack from "The Message" in Firefly. He was cool too.

Anyone ever thought about this? I would love to hear what other people had on their minds.

I always thought it would be cool if Jubal Early survived somehow. I've been a fan of Richard Brooks since I saw him in Good Vs. Evil, and Early's character was one of the most fascinating, I think. YoSaffBridge would always be welcome, as well as Niska. One other character I'd like to see is the Sheriff from the Train Job.

I haven't seen all the episodes from Buffy (I just finished the first season), so I don't know if she mad another appearance, but the girl who turns invisible was an interesting character (plus, Clea Duvall rocks ).

I would like to see that Alliance officer that Mal saved from "Bushwhacked."

Also, Jubal Early. I bet he'd have a remote control on his suit that could call his ship back to him.

Did Fanty and Mingo die in the BDM? Since the Alliance hit all of their safe spots, they might have been. It'd cool to see them again.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.


I would have liked to see more of Monty.
I think the officer from Bushwhacked was Haken. Not sure about that.
Personally I'm not convinced Fanty and Mingo were killed. They weren't really a safe zone. They were interrogated, though, according to the original script.

Oh yeah, I'd like to see Atherton Wing come back again and try to get back at Mal. But this time, they'd be using weapons that Mal was proficient in... his fist.

I can't recall this minor Firefly character's name offhand. I'm not sure if he was actually named, but it would be great to see the captain of the salvage ship from 'OOG' again. (He gave Mal the catyliser and then shot him.)

They seemed like an interesting group of people. Also, it would be great to see Mal run across them once more, and what would happen!

Lets see hmmmmmmmm, someone I'd like to see return in other FF eps.

Behind door #1. He was locked up in a hotbox for 4 years. Has one good eye. Looks like a mountain mans dirty big brother. Was stabed in the chest by Jayne and beat about the face until unconscious.

Stich Hishan. Yep, think theres plenty of stories where ol' Stich can still fit in. After all he still has a score to settle.

I'm pretty sure that being slammed into a rock that many times that hard by Jayne kinda killed ol' Stitch. But I've been wrong before.

Thats a good assumption PhoenixR. But a guy that can last 4 years in a hotbox, be handed loaded shotgun and not Higgins is one tough cookie.Both mentally and physically.

I say he should team up with Jubal Early and go get some payback (course our BDH still win)but to duke it out with those two might make an interesting story.

PS: being beaten to a pulp about the face may have not made Stich dead. Only uglier (smiles)

Trepkos was soooo cool.

'I'll make it quick.'

Damn!

Anyway, woulda like to see more of the spjew, the crew of the Brutus, and Monty's crew.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned them yet, but Gabriel and Regan Tam. Of all the minor characters, they've captured my imagination the most. I could care less about Jubal, YoSaffBridge, Atherton and Bester. They seemed like one off characters anyways. But there's so much you could do with the elder Tam's instead of having them as rote villains that a lot of fanfic writers make them out as.

As for the other shows, I think Clem, D'Hoffryn, Kendra and Amy from BUFFY and Skip, the guy Dave Herman played and the girl Wes saved and dated when he had to pretend he was Angel on ANGEL were characters I couldn't get enough of.

I loved at the end.

I agree. He was so cool.

My first pick would be the sheriff from Train Job.

Next up, the Captain of the other ship in OOG.

Badger! Yes, I know we saw quite a lot, but it wouldn't hurt to see more!

Yeah Stitch is probably about as dead as Mr. Universe and the good people of Haven.

On the topic of minor characters from Jayne'stown, Fess Higgins is one I'd like to see. He seems the kind of guy that, though he comes from the lap of luxury ((His father does own a moon,)) He'd be willing to get his hands dirty to help the crew out. I'd also like to see Jubal Early and YoSaffBridge trying to work out their insanity issues ((Doubt she could pull it off, but it'd be funny to see her married to him.))

And then the Alliance guy she was married to, and the HOG Whores.

Early married to YoSaffBridge??? Dear God in heaven. I like it.

And you have to admit, that pairing is Joss's brand of insanity.

The crew of Brutus would be fun to kinda rummage into the show. I'd like to see Jubal Early back too.

Monty would be an excellent return character. Remember Zoeys comment about Mal not being broken into pieces by Monty in the "Trashed" eps. That would have to be one tough dude.

Yosaffbridge, IMO could return about once a month. If the show ever came back that is.She scares the pants off me. Heres a lady that will kiss you while shes got the point of a blade aimed at the center of your back.Don't think she could ever become a part of the crew though.
