There is a door in senernity that is never opened, here are some pictures(its on the left)

I've worked out from the bonus features of serenity that the first picture, the door is a way out of the set. In the second pic, I think it's the same. However, casting that aside what do you think could be behind those doors if Firefly/Serenity were real?

*edit* not sure what happened to the second pic

I think that door leads to the foredeck, the very bow of the ship. It's the same area that the stairs at the front of the bridge probably lead to. We never see it in the series, but IIRC in the movie we see Mal coming up from it with supplies. It's mentioned in the epsode "Out of Gas" when Jayne says "I prepped a suit for you. It's hanging in the foredeck".

As for what's there, my guess is that it's mostly used for storage. Also, could house Serenity's electronics suite, or could have a small workshop for machining parts and the like.

I'm with Schooner about it being a door to the lower area of the bridge (foredeck).
In Our Mrs. Reynolds it's mentioned that Saffron sealed up *both* doors to the bridge, though we see her directly sealing only one.

When I was watching Objects in Space I noticed while they were searching the ship, the suits were in the cargo hold, inside its container.

However with OMrs R, I can now see how that works but we only saw her seal one and then she left. The two doors if you may have noticed are however just after each other i.e you have to go through the door at the top of the stairs and then have to go through another one. You can notice this some times.

Yes, they are normally in the cargo hold. That's why Jayne told Mal where he put the suit, where Mal could get at it after sealing up the rest of the ship and keeping the air to the area of the bridge.

It could be a closet / locker or even a toilet for bathroom breaks for whoever is stationed on the bridge.

Actually a bathroom sounds much more plausable since theres clearly not enough space in the shuttles or crew or guest quarters. It is also the only place in the ship that hasn't been shown so it must be a bathroom.

Also the door in the first picture, you can't see through the window. Every other door with a window in, you can see through all the others except this one.

It's the now infamous crew lounge. You can get to it one of two ways, either down the short stairs from the foredeck hall (as seen in the pics) or by going down the stairs on the bridge between the two pilot stations.

In one of the commentary tracks ( I suspect for the original pilot )someone said that there was originally a couch down there and that it was a good place to hang out between takes. Once they decided to use the rounded section off the kitchen for a lounge the couch got moved to the area just off the infirmary (passenger lounge.)

I just dont think that they need to have an extra door for that tho. Also why have doors that you cant see through.

Because... there is nothing left to see.

Yes. It doesn't exist.

Truly, if you watch the series and the film while paying extra attention to that whole area in front of the consoles(use the pause, even) you can see that it changes a lot over time.

Well, my first double post. First time I pushed the button I got the dreaded SQL deadlock victim message. Hit Back button and pushed again. Always wondered how multi-posts occurred.
Heh.

yep i finally just noticed that today as I was watching serenity, now I understand what Kaylee was talking about in "Our Mrs. Reynolds" when she said "she fused both entrances". That door apparantly goes to the front section of the bridge.

"Haha, mine is an evil laugh."

I agree. It's probably the front section of the bridge.

I think Joss mentions in the special feaaturs that there are stairs in front fo the pilots chairs leading down the that section. It's either in one of his commentaries (probably Serenity pilot) or "the 10th crew member" featurette, but I'm pretty sure he mentions this somewhere.

Either that, or I invented a memory, which is kinda wierd.

Ok,

We have seen the toilet. And the sinks and we have seen Inara take a sponge bath. We KNOW there are no baths, because Zoe longs for one. Being a lover of hygiene myself - Can I just say that I HOPE fervently that the unused door is the shower room.

Please please!

Nathan doesn't know it yet, but I am his one true love! Is that weird?

Wait where are the toilets then?

Also I remembered that there are showers coming off of the kitchen/dining room where River was chained up in. And Jayne walked in saying "I'm going to have a nice shower"

Oh yeah I knew of the stairs down to the very front of the ship but I can see why people thing that the door leads to it yet there are 2 doors just to get to the pilot area, straight after each other.

The toilets fold into the wall. You see the Captain buttoning his tightpants and then floding the toilet up.

I will have to look for the showers! Thanks. I feel much cleaner now. I was going to have to load up on babywipes and hand sanitizer !
