It would have a whole doublecross, triplecross, etc. thing going. Maybe like a Ocean's Eleven set in space. Except with 7...and Mal's instead of Ocean's.

Also, Saff would be in jail on Bellarophon, and even if she could talk her way out of max security-not that I'm saying she couldn't- I gotta think she'd think twice about messin' with Mal and Crew. She's devious allright, but most gals aren't extremely proficient in the revenge business...

The thing about Saffron, though, is that she always loses out when it comes to the crew.

Do you really want her to get away with something against them in movie form? Maybe if there'd been more eppisodes, sure.

All I'm saying is I think Ath could grow to BECOME an epic ass, and it's apparent he's already hated, so making him into the guy you love to hate should'nt be too hard...

Ok,what do you say to Yo-saff's ex taking revenge, then?

Facts are stubborn things.

I'm saying if she does get away with something, it probably would take a long time(if ever!) to resolve the story, and that would be irritating...

What was wrong with Trash? It was a good episode and a movie in the same vein would be fine with me.

Heck I don't know why she wouldn't hand the crew over on a silver platter for a half hour off her sentence.

Also she seemed to go pretty revengy on Mal in Trash.

I was thinking the same. I dunno if it's firefly cannon, but the serenity rpg book says Serenity is actually a decommissioned medship conversion firefly. Maybe they're new mission of sorts could be to rescue the other academy students and for Simon to help them get better. All the while Blue Sun is playing playing public would-be revolutionaries against the Alliance's suddenly shaky grip on power while trying to track down Serenity's crew and reclaim River, their greatest success, maybe with a student mole!

Maybe I should write something like that after I finish 'Secret Agent Tam.' Only I don't know I could do the concept justice. I enjoy the funny stuff way too much.

Personally, I see both Atherton and YoSaffBridge as interesting complications, but not enough to be a real plot device. The only reason I hold Niska above those two is because he has a powerful organization under his control, but even Niska I see more as a complication than a focus.

Lisa, keep your debate spirit in rwed, it's not nice to scare the newbies.

Wishimay, if you have any desire for my advice, she's not likely to stop snarking until you do, it's not her way. Let it go. Now would you stop pecking at each other? You're scaring away the conversation.

That's why the operative let them go, 'cause now everybody knows, and if they get killed it'll just damage the Aliance's rep that much more...Don't think they would've let them go if they could have covered up who sent the signal, unfortunately there was 90 dozen ships and 90 dozen officers who saw Serenity aimed right at 'em with a screen blaring "lookout for this Captain" Oh, and what a coincidence there just happened to be this signal explaining Miranda 10 minutes later... The word of mouth alone would cover a dozen worlds in a dozen days. People are still passing along the tiniest trivia from our civil war, and that was without a Cortex.


Yeah, Mal's gettin' away with anything days would be long done.

Good point, I would love to see some of the other characters get more of a focus in another Serenity movie. Maybe something the focuses on Inara or Zoe. They are both interesting characters that are bound to have interesting pasts. I'd love to see Simon take the lead, but it's hard to think of a plot where Simon isn't mostly an accessory to River or Kaylee or some other character. He's an interesting character, but he doesn't really doesn't seem to have his own goals, outside of helping River. But maybe a new movie could give him some.

Maybe a little something that shows whatever Simon and Inara's past connection was, or a race to find a cure for Inara's terminal illness.

Or maybe the Alliance (under new leadership) contracts Mal and his crew to look for a 'cure' of some sort for the reavers under the radar, on account of them not willing to openly admit the problem and their resources stretched thin maintaining order. That could make for interesting conflict, Mal not trusting or wanting anything to do with the Alliance, even under new leadership, and Simon wanting to help people cause that's what he does. Then, as an interesting twist, the Alliance or some rogue faction of it, deploys the PAX as some sort of chemical warfare and Serenity, armed with a cure or countermeasure or something swoops in to save this helpless Rim planet about to be made an example of.
