Okay, this is how I see it.

I want to consider the scripts cannon, except where contradicted by what was actually aired, (or rather in this case on the DVD). There are some exceptions to this. For example, in the script, River tells Doralee: "I pulled it out. I looked in her head and I pulled it out. She talks
in there." This is concerning Ruby's lack of speech. Essentially she tells Doralee and Simon she can read minds.

This clears up the confusion by Jayne in OIS later on.

Also, when the Patron is about to burn River, he has that line about how she is in "Congress with the Beast." In the gag reel, we see the actor blowing this line again and again, and it is finally cut. BUT surfaces later in OIS when Jayne is confused about her being a witch. "She's in Congress?" Sooo...

Some things, like Simon's support of Unification is trivial, in keeping with the character and what we have been shown. So I would accept this fact as cannon. Also there is nothing to suggest that Zoe did NOT grow up on space ships, and accept that as canon as well.

And will until and unless it is contradicted by what is shown.

There is one extra script, "Dead or Alive" on the site. I had heard there were 2 more, but have never seen them, nor heard anything else. Another poster says there were 4 unshot scripts? Really? Would love to hear more about them, and what stage they were in when the F&a%u@x network pulled the plug.
