I think a show about the underground movenemt, the group that helped Simon break River out, would be cool. From the first time I saw the Firefly pilot Serenity, in the scene where Simon is talking about the underground movement that helped him, I pictured this group that was going around and pretty much being a pest to the Alliance. Then we got a glimps of one of their ships in Serenity at the beginning.

I can just kind of see it as being like a Mission Impossible show. Maybe they have different little missions they are trying to pull off in each episode. Breaking an innocent person out of prison. Intercepting a bribe on it's way to an Alliance official. Gathering evidence to be given to a defense lawyer to help out a wrongfully accused Browncoat.

Each character in the group would have their own strengths and weaknsess obviously. There would be some drama, like in Firefly. And of course, you have to have the funny. Now that I think a little more about it, it would be more like the A-Team...but in the 'Verse.

Cool huh?

A few years down the road, a more mature, sane, driven River Tam splits up from her Serenity Family (with their blessing, particularly Mal's) to buy her own Firefly and gather up a crew made exclusively of young readers. The crew, all prodigies from different backgrounds, some with clashing personalities, all are brought together by the fact that there kind, as rare as it is, is being captured and turned into lab rats by the Alliance and Blue Sun Corporation. Robbing from the government, selling goods to the poor and information to a new Browncoat uprising, they slowly free other readers and put together the pieces of information as to the motivations of the government.

I'd like to think of it as like the Scoobies in Space, with the occasional reaver slaying in substitute for a vampire.

TuJiaoZuo - That there is a nice idea. I wonder if so many 'readers' wouldn't need a 'Book' type character just to reel them in when they go a little loony. But yeah - would be a nice 'edgey' show.

Cool.

They would need a Book type character and maybe Jayne could put in an appearance or two. Just for firepower of course.

Oh most definitely they would need someone older and wiser and possibly philosophical to anchor them down. The rest of the crew would probably be readers that didn't go through the academy, therefore not made crazy, but we're talking a group of young pirates between the ages of teen and late twenties. All readers, without someone to ground them (including River) they would in all likely not last that long either against the Alliance or even against themselves. But then again the contrast between the crew would also be something to focus on, like the Crew of Serenity, they would all be different in some way with various ticks and personalities and positions that are possibly ironic considering their appearance and disposition.

Guest appearances by other BDMs would be a must (we'd need some scenes of Mal or Simon once and awhile talking to the new captain via a wave, giving her advice or encouragement). In fact, there would have to be some way for both crews to band together for possibly a few heists and schemes I mean think of the beauty of that, two Fireflies in an episode. Captain River Tam in her brown coat (Mal's parting gift for her) with her ship and Captain Malcolm Reynolds with Serenity right alongside in the sky.

And of course throughout the entire series there would be a major arch about River and growing up, flashbacks of her past, her becoming more social around people her age (the crew), dealing with being the authoritative figure, dealing with the consequences of her actions, possibly even learning to fall in love. There would be some great material Summer could work with, because while River would be pretty much sane, and very much so strong, she would still be very vulnerable and coming into her own.

Also a requirement would be some of Wash's Dinos would have to litter the helm of the new firefly.
