I want to know the whole backstory on Shepherd Book. I trust I'm not alone in that...

Nope you aint alone. I always found his past more interesting than River's past. I had hopes of a SERENITY sequel (Were it to have happened ) being about Books past catching up with him and affecting the whole crew as a consequence. Mal and he would have been at real odds with each other - Oh well... Not to be I guess.

Not alone. I was looking for news on the Book comic and saw a quote from Joss about Book's character being more of a Christian than a Buddhist, which is what Ron Glass wanted.

"Whedon conceived the character because he felt that faith was important to people dealing with being that far out in space. As Whedon states, "Shepherd Book is somebody I would probably get along famously with, except we don't agree about anything." He also wanted to give "a voice for the other side."

I think that's a little funny since for them they are not "that far out in space," but I get his meaning. His other comments are funny.

There's always room for a backstory ep or three...
