Just thought i'd start a new thread wiv my good friend T where we could get ideas on what the vastness of Joss's mind would throw up if he was ever to create a series two

Also possible plot developments for a second film (more likely)

Yes, such as the disgruntled corpse of Shephard Book rising from the ashes of Haven and hunting Mal down.

When an old flame visits the ship,
Simon wonders if his divorce from

a look into River's first day of

In 3 posts this thread has fallen from a respectable debate on the wonderous possibilities of series 2 to a gorram eta-kooram-nah-smecht

ok i will start wiv the intelectual debat seein as you seem to b missin a brain - may wanna look at that.

I personally think that River will be the new pilot, she is clearly adept at it (end of serentiy) it would also giv her a use on the ship

Ok. Zoe, complete gung-ho character change. Maybe she doesn't even listen to Mal anymore in her pent-up Hoban-Mourning. Mal and Inara have some delightful misunderstandings after River jokingly tells them what they were thinking in 'Our Mrs. Reynolds', Simon and Kaylee are all sweet and Jayne...

Jayne is Jayne.

Any elaboration on this is welcome.

Monday, March 13, 2006 3:55 PM

I would think that River would possibly be the pilot. The only question is, is she recovered? From getting the whole Miranda situation out of her head is she really better or is it temperary? After she said that she was better in the movie, I believe after seeing the message she seemed different. But new complications are on the way for her I'm sure.

Monday, March 13, 2006 5:51 PM

I would like to see Jayne get a huge crush on River, because she is the perfect little assassin. He knows it would be wrong (gross) to try and be with her, but he follows her around like puppy dog, and always try to save her when fights break out, but of course, just ends up getting shown up. It would be an inside joke of much amusement between the rest of the crew.
I think you have leave Mal open, he's too solitary to be in a relationship, but he and Zoe could have some Mulder/Scully or Carter/O'Neill thing going on.
And just because Simon and Kaylee have already done the deed, doesn't mean that Simon will be able to talk to her any better than he could before - He still has to be a boob.

As for movie two: Alliance is still after Mal and crew, they were not at all forgiving. But now rogue factions of the alliance, (people who lost family and friends on Miranda) have banned together in an effort to force River to kill head Alliance officials that they aren't able to kill themselves.
River has learned to control her thoughts, and weed through her memories. She has found a disturbing bit of information that she gleened from the mind of the operative, about killing all of the other would-be-assassins that she trained with due to her escape - they had decided to scrap the whole program.
That's all I've got.

ISAACSHEPHERD

Monday, March 13, 2006 7:12 PM

I think something else we could expect is the return of Jubal Early. I thought I heard Joss say that he wanted to bring him back for the movie but wanted the Operative instead. Jubal is quite a mystery, and I don't think he's dead considering we didn't see him die.
I'm not sure about the Zoe pregnant thing. I'm sure it possible, but I think that may be too predictable for Joss. She already has her own complications to deal with since Wash is dead.
One thing I thought about after seeing the movie was that in the message they never said where that had happened. I don't believe they actually say it was at Miranda, and I'm not sure if anyone knows that Mal and crew were the ones to broadcast. The Alliance may push it off as some prank, similar to the end of the movie Resident Evil 2.
With any luck we could also see backstory for Book or maybe for Zoe and Wash. How they actually began to like eachother. Why Wash shaved the stasche lol and maybe an episode where they got married, or showed it.

I love the idea of people banding together because of Miranda, but instead I would have another Unification War, which is actually what my fanfic will be about, except Mal will not fight, or pregnant Zoe will get drafted.

I think a little chaos is in order.

He'll find a way to explain him surviving, but I don't agree with it. Seems cheap to me.

It could happen. A bounty hunter like that, out on the fringe, would have to be intimate with his ship. He could have some kind of homing device on his suit, that even if River did program the ship to go away, after a certain amount of time, (or withthe push of a button on his suit) it would lock onto his signal and pick him up. He could just be drifting out there, and not remember he has that option, and then all of a sudden, it hits him. I mean, he was crazy, but Josh never said he was stupid.

Speaking of series two stories hows about Jayne and Simon? River as the ship.

Things could get messy. Watch as Jayne desperately
tries to restrain himself from blamming a few holes in Simon.(with Vera of course.) If he lays a finger (or a swiss-army knife)on him then River will kill Jayne with her mind. Or some form of kitchen utensil...seeing as she is the ship she can do anything.

As for the others they can have cameos now and again (except of course the dead ones including Wash *sob* and Book *another sob* dear god why!!! sorry...i'm still in mourning...) or they can have hilarious spin-off series' like kaylee taking on Reavers with strawberries her funky parasol. And Zoe and Mal fighting yet another war.

With the quote above referring to the possibility of Jubal Early surviving beyond the episode "Objects in Space," I don't think it takes a stretch at all.

At the very end where he says "Well...Here I am..." I don't think he is just being Jubal Early-crazy, he is actually talking to the auto-pilot on his ship. A guy alone on a space ship, especially one who's plans include extra-vehicle activities would certainly have a back-up plan if he got stranded.

But with the element of surprise gone and the need to undo all River's button pushing, Early withdraws to come up with new plan.

As far as a season two episode I'd like to see ... I really would like to see Zoe, tell the flashback story of how she saved Mal from a caper-gone-bad, which ended up netting them the cashy-money Mal used to buy Serenity.

You know, I don't think that the message sent out about Miranda was enough to start a war. Heck, if it was, we'd never stop being at war in real life. And of course Zoe is pregnant. I'd say she's probably a bit hormonal too, adding another level of comedy to the stuff we miss because Wash is gone. Inara is a bit more willing to persue a relationship with Mal, but Mal is still Mal. I think it would totally screw things up if they actually got together (Anybody notice what happened when Lois and Clark got married? The series was basically over at that point.). But we will see them kiss or maybe more. They'll bounce back and forth. I think River will be a great pilot, and also a great gun hand. If I know Jayne, he will be a little twitterpated by it. Don't know if River would ever consider dating the man-ape gone wrong though. She'll also help to get the ship into order, because Simon and Kaylee are going to be a bit preoccupied for a while. Those are the things that I would say are definite in my opinion. Now some real speculation. I think that the Operative is part of a line of clones, one that Shepherd Book belonged to.

That's because Lois and Clark were the entire point of that series.

Firefly has seven characters and a very complex 'verse with many issues to content with. Mal and Inara getting (and staying) together wouldn't kill that in any way.

KUANGZHEDE

Tuesday, March 14, 2006 8:50 PM

Here is my spin.

Miranda does not cause enough trouble initially to generate a war of succession. However, we know that River was in the presense of "Key Members of Parliment" so the directions and information known to her are only limited by a writers imagination.

As Joss is into the civil war, and I hate to make it comprable to Star Wars, but everybody loves intergalactic civil war.

Time for Mal to stop running for good. General Mal. Inara dies in the bed of some Alliance high up. Things get real dark. Jayne goes off the deep end. River is still River. Zoe is still Zoe but preggers...sure why the hell not. Simon (who can't get past the reavers) likes morphine and his relationship replaces the wash and zoe relationship. Need new spiritual guidance...bring in Ron Pearlman (he is in everything anyways)

Good way to tie alot of the old characters back into the mix.

Or, Reavers kill Inara in typical Reaver fashion, Mal and the crew go off the deep end, loadout the ship for war, hunt the reavers down while having wacky adventures with witty dialogue

I actually got that idea from another thread somewhere. Someone said that the Operative would be coming back as a shepherd according to Joss Whedon. The same thread suggested that Shepherd Book was a clone.

Why is everyone so hungry for war anyway?

Hmmm. I'd like to see that thread, because I also suggested that the Op will be a Shepherd (Shepherd Magazine, anyone?) but I certainly never heard it from Joss Whedon. It's my own maniacal musing.

I've always imagined that if/when Mal and Inara finally get it right, that would be the perfect time to kill off Inara. Like the very second after their first kiss --BAM!-- Inara gets hit by a bus or something. Joss loves doing things like that. (Willow and Tara (the second time), anyone? Fred and Wesley, anyone? (Still can't forgive Jonathon Woodward for that one)

Exactly. Oh, and Jonathan is certainly a hated man, even more when you consider him taking Kaylee as a hostage. Didn't see him on Buffy but I'm sure he did something horrible on there too.

I'd wonder if River would take Zoe's place for another gun if she would become pregnant. I have a feeling though if the series would continue that Jayne would begin to look over River like another older brother, perhaps out of guilt from Ariel too. Another thought is that Jayne would be next in line to get the axe right around the time that River and Jayne's relationship would develop like that. Just a guess anyways. I don't think Joss could ever get away with killing off Mal or River so it's either Jane or Inara.

Mr. Universe's LoveBot would be The Chef.

Mal would run into The Operative everywhere, even though The Operative said he wouldn't, and at the end of every encounter, The Operative would say all dramatic like.... :"this is the last time you'll ever see me Mal."

I like the idea of Simon becoming a drug addict. Kaylee's going to have to kick his ass lock him in that storage space where they locked up River.

There would be a new, forgive the term, "Rebel Alliance" forming in the central planets... people who saw the broadwave and want to start a revolution, they probably try to contact MAL, but he wants nothing to do with it. Plus the closer he gets to the central planets, the more enemies he has. Eventually Mal DOES rise above, but only after being pushed over the edge through another death of one of his crew.

I don't think Zoe will be with anyone for a while. She's super loyal and all... she'd be ultra stubborn about wanting to raise her child alone, even though Jayne's the only one who can ever get it stop crying. This is when you find out that Jayne was the oldest of many siblings and knows how to take care of babies.

Inara will be screening clients and she'll sign some dude up.. but when she gets there it turns out to be a decoy.. and it's really Adelai Niska... kidnaps her and tortures her, because he knows how Mal feels about her. Mal finally kills this guy and when they're back on the ship, Inara and Mal finally get it on.

River becomes best friends with the LoveBot and Kaylee gets jealous.

I want MANY COOL THINGS TO HAPPEN (as I'm sure everyone else does)

But here's my wishlist

Mal/Jayne in a conundrum changing Zoe's baby's diapers. (You HAVE to have a changing scene)

Jayne, stuck on the ship during a job for one reason or another, wearing a vest that gives milk to the baby to simulate a mothers breast(you know that would be good)

Luis Guzman as the eccentric, Hispanic cook for the crew.

Alexis Denisof as the new replacement Operative of the Parliament. Less brawny and less prone to violent stabbing. More with intelligence and school smarts than anything. Like a master stategist that anticipates moves before theyre made. Not from psychic ability, but from pure smarts.

Thoughts? Concerns? Witty insights?

In my mind I always thought Season 2 could be post season 1 but pre our BDM. There is still so much back story to tell with many of the characters.

What is everyone elses thoughts, does season 2 have to be post Serenity?

Anyone read the graphic novel (I can't call it a comic book around my house) it has a nice little pre-BDM story in it and shows how much Joss likes bringing back his bad guys.

And I really like whoever suggested Jayne becomes infatuated with River on a whole "The Professional" angle.

...I'm in.

TOWELIE

Wednesday, March 15, 2006 9:27 PM

Never thought about that... like an 'untold tales' sort of thing?

Personally though I'd find that something of an affront to the movie. Comics and such fine, maybe even (please) a nice shiny computer-game, but not the series.

It's nicer to move things forward and develop. Firefly has a lot, but gorramit it had so much more to give.

Strike one more for the cunning Alexis Denisof though.

i think that series 2 should be pre serenity, co then we'd have wash and shepard! can you imagine a series without wash? i mean who'd do the "oh god who's flying this thing? oh wait that would be me" thing, there would be no amazingly funny humor in it and it would get boring after a while. The humor keeps it from being what fox wanted it to be!

Or maybe we could have a post serenity film going on and a pre serenity series! Now that would be great!

There should be a series 2, if not we should riot! on account of jayne and wash!

Hi I’m a script writer and here are my thoughts for some plots for a possible season 2 of firefly,

Plot One
Season 2 would start off where the movie left, I’d have River as Serenity’s new pilot, and she would be able to use her special abilities to fly the wind (like Wash was a leaf on the wind). I’d have Zoe pregnant with Wash’s baby (because in the episode “HEART OF GOLD” they both argued about it). I’d have the relationship between Mal and Inara still on the will they wont they phase. I’d have the relationship between Kaylee and Simon build and have the strain of Simon’s over protection of River. I’d leave Wash and Shepherd dead (but they’d still be in the show due to flash backs)

Plot Two
As the same as Plot One but with one difference, half way through season 2 in a episode cal “CRYOGENICS or CRYO” either Mal and the rest of the crew on serenity come across a ship in deep space that has a small electrical reading they go on board and find two cryo box‘s (like the 1 River was in, in the TV pilot) they open one and it has a scientific doctor that works for the alliance and is someone Simon knows that lead the research in cryogenic’s and cloning, during the course of the episode the doctor refuses to let Mal open the other Cryo Box, the doctor also sees a picture of Wash and starts asking questions the makes Zoe mad, forcing Mal to open the other Cryo box and the episode would end there with an over head short looking into the box, in it is Wash, part 2 of this episode would be the crew of serenity finding out about the Cryo Wash and why there is a clone of him. The reason is because Wash didn’t fight in the war, he was going to but because of his abilities at flying, the independence government enrolled Wash in a cloning program to have better pilots for the war.
The other possibility is that there is only 1 Cryo box with the doctor in it (same as above but with the difference that when the doctor sees the photo of Wash he tells them he’s seen him before during his tests, and during the end of season 2 (maybe 10 episode’s long) the crew of Serenity going searching for Wash.

Plot Three
Same as either Plot One or Plot Two but with the back drop of maybe a second war between the Independence and the alliance

Oh and how about during the course on the season it would go into more about Shepherd’s past, maybe there’s more to him then meets the eye

As I say these are just my thought’s, maybe there good, maybe they suck :)
You could always post feedback on my ideas as a writer people’s thought on my work and thoughts is always appreciated

Im not bein narky this is just a bit of constructive criticism, please dont hurt me!

Plot 1 and 3 is a nice summary of what we have all said and in a perfect world where Joss wasnt behind the wheel thats what would happen. Unfortunaly it is joss so we would never know. It is bound to be something we could have never expected but is still way kool, if it vere happens

Plot 2 is, sorry to say, not that good. Joss kills his chatrachters for a reason and so is not a kin to whippin them back in because ppl felt upset. As for the whole clonin' idea it is dreadfully unlikely and not in kiltre with the show, joss like to keep it realitic as possible an the whole Wash/boba fett thing wouldnt go down well.

"yeh but cloning me, that sound a little science-fiction?"

"you live on a spaceship dear, clone dear, hunny, clonny.. wha, what do i call you?"

Realistic is one thing Fitz. Limited cloning right now and 500 years to develop it is another. It's a viable option, I just didn't take to the way it was executed. Sorry script-guy.

I would entirely be up for one emotional, happy-yet-sad Wash flashback episode though.

They could call it 'Coming to Terms'.

Or 'Issues'.

Or 'Melodrama'.

One problem with the cloning thing is that the Alliance, if they registered him in a cloning program would most likely still want to keep him around. The Alliance would also give him funny looks every time they pulled Mal and crew over or at least say he looks famaliar. I think Book would more likely be a clone than Wash. Only thing I can guess would be that our beloved Wash that died would have been a clone that wasn't perfected yet.

However, these plotline revelations will make Zoe's head pop. And no one wants that.

Can we go back to Jayne and Hoban Junior in a hammock now?

I figured I'd add my two cents in. First off I think the next character who would be perfect to die is Simon. He and Kaylee are FAR too happy for Joss, and Simon is just too content with his life right now, his sister is doing well he's in a heathly relationship...I think its time for him to start watchin his back for Joss with an axe. The death of Simon would send Kaylee's character into a deeper development by showing how she actually deals with loss and grief. Jayne would (due to the guilt on ariel) take River (who is now the new pilot) under his wing. Cloning and zombification and the like...I don't think that's gonna happen, far too hokey. I do however think that Zoe is in fact pregnant with Wash's baby. Just because he killed Wash off in the movie doesn't mean that if the series had continued he would have survived, perhaps Wash was on his way out to begin with. I do see many flashbacks with him though. Inara and Mal as someone had said earlier would do the "mulder/scully" thing but it wouldn't end up working out. The public's reaction to the Miranda video feed may or may not incite a war that I'm really unsure of. They could pull "its a hoax" thing and that may in fact quell the people. After all people believe what they want to hear right? Well not all the time but maybe...In the event a war does break out Mal having found faith again or at least a reason to fight would join up to fight the alliance again. And the show or movie would follow him in his fight. Again just my opinion.

I find it odd that so many people were so upset about Wash and Book dying, but they're in a big hurry to kill Inara and Simon...

Mmm. I am rather disturbed by the death obsession. I accept that if series 2 became reality, then there would have to be plot shake-ups to keep the audience interested. However, there are many other ways to change the focus and feel of a show other than bumping off a main character. The Miranda situation alone is surely enough change in the 'verse to allow some difference in plots, as well as the absence of Book and Wash. I've only flicked through the threads lately, but nobody seems to have mentioned the possibilty of... shudder... hiring new crew...

now hold on one darn pickin minute. stop with all the death! wash and shepard were one thing but simon? simon?! how could you? he's the only good medic onboard. what would mal do if he got shot? again. and inara ain't that bad. just cos she's a whore doesn't make her any less of a character. plus she's the only thing keeping mals love intrests up. if she died he'd go into i'll-never-love-another-woman mode and be lost forever. unless he went for jayne...oh god no. anyhoo, thats my say on the matter. it may be a load of crap but nevermind.

keep the killing to a minimal!!!

thankyou :)

A nice story for thenext movie or an ongoing back story for series could be Shepard Book's History. Maybe the Blue handed guys could come looking for him.
Perhaps he was on board as a protector for river, assigned thejob by some "anti Blue sun" group.

I think Season 2 will start off with Zoe's brother coming on as Pilot. Technically I think in order to trade they have to have a registered Pilot on board because if I was a trading port I kind of would want the ship to be piloted by someone certified.

Lets face it River cant exactly go in for one of those.

Zoe is pregnet with Walsh child and contemplates getting off the ship. Simon and Kaylee get Jossed when they find marriage is harder then they thought compared to their flirting and love lorn looks.

Especially since half the time Simon thinks in the end they will settle on a Core world he will open up a practice and all will be right in the world. Unfortunately that would take Kaylee away from the outworlds and the machines she loves.

Simon tried to understand but he was born a Noble and the thought of spending the rest of his life in the black never occured to him.

It doesnt help that Kaylee strikes a friendship with Zoe'e brother Marcus ( Merchad Brooks) born rough with an easy smile and happy go lucky attitude.

Simon feels a little threatened.

Jayne is thinking about leaving the ship before he considers them 'family.' When he is contacted by a mysterious man who treatens to kill his mother unless he agrees to stay on board. Keep the Tams alive and report their location every seven days. The offer of weekly coin helps him make the right choice.

With all this trouble Mal is contacted by the Operative ( now sporting a face change but still English and black ) warning that the Parliment has authorized the use of Subject 19.

Subject 19 ( Lee Thompson Young ) from special Projects. Created specificly made to hunt down Psi-operators who somehow go rouge.

Rerouted synapes and enhanced organs ( the kind Tracy where smuggling ) added to advanced bio-feedback training and downloaded skills into a neural chip make him a threat as dangerous as River.

Unlike River he has no will, no emotion. His existance will be defined by one purpose that he will follow to the ends of the Black and back.

To kill River Tam and all with her.

Edit: Okay, I didn't read any of the ideas in the thread before I posted this. Browncoats seem to have many similar ideas about drama...

Season 2: Open, of course, to multiple suggestions...

Episodes 2x1 and 2x2 (naturally a two hour season opener): The Blue Hands are back! By virtue of all the Alliance marines who storm into the room after River's massacre on Miranda, word gets back to Blue Sun corp that River Tam is traveling with Malcolm Reynolds aboard Serenity. Mal is forced to take the ship farther toward the Rim to avoid pursuit. Mal becomes Captain Angst as he and the crew recover from Miranda.

2x3 - Obscure and low paying job on Rimworld that highlights how far removed from society and the core our crew has become. Zoe is acting strange, but they all chalk it up to Wash's death. Jayne gets to be a bad guy. Of course, nothing runs smooth. River saves the day!

2x4 - Inara-centric flashback episode. Parallel between Inara having difficulty finding jobs on the Rim and her memories of starting in the guild. Triggered by a skeezy client who knew her back in the day? Won't solve the mystery of why she joined in the first place, but will give some insight into her character.

2x5 - Kaylee-centric episode. She's dealing with the trauma of Miranda, and trying to figure out her new relationship with Simon. Maybe flash backs of Jubal Early. Nightmares abound. Over late night talks in the kitchen, various crew members help Kaylee work through the horror of battle. The final chat is with Zoe, which also helps Zoe come a little more to terms with Wash's death. Zoe is still acting strange. Eating more, too. Hmm.

2x6 - Start of four part arch. Part one, Jayne gets a letter from home - his Ma needs his help, she and Mattie are sick and about to die. Jayne actually begs Simon for help. With Mal's permission, Jayne and Simon take a transport back to Jayne's homeworld. Jane and Simon bond and argue about everything. Simon finally realizes that Jayne had a bit of a crush on Kaylee.

2x7 - It's a trap! Blue Sun and/or the Alliance have figured out that Jayne is with Mal's crew, and were using Jayne's family to get to Jayne, and from him to River and Simon. Imagine their delight when Jayne walks through the door, Simon in tow! By the end of the episode, Jayne escapes with his family, but Simon is captured.

2x8 - Ransom time. Blue Sun and/or the Alliance wave Mal and let him know they have his doctor. If they don't bring River Tam, Simon's life will be forfeit, yada yada yada. Mal and the crew argue and angst over the situation. Jayne still hasn't been heard from, and Mal assumes another betrayal. River, of course, sneaks out the back way to rescue her brother

2x9 - River's voyage to Jayne's homeworld, and maybe some flashbacks of her time in the Academy. Mal and crew flying after her once they realize she's gone. The Hero of Canton returns at last. Daring heroics? You bet! Final scene of the crew with Jayne's grateful and safe family in the kitchen of Serenity (Obviously, they need to relocate to where Blue Sun can't find them. They'll be on board for a episode or two until Mal can find them a planet, embarrassing Jayne the entire time). Jayne's ma asks Zoe when she's expecting. Zoe: "Expecting what?" Cut to black...

Pause for Fox to show 90-billion episodes of American Bloody Idol. Resume after February sweeps.

2x10 - Yup, Zoe's pregnant. Finally, a Zoe and Wash episode! How they fell in love and Mal's reaction to their marriage. Mal adjusts to the concept of Uncle Mal. Will Zoe leave the ship? As Jayne's family is still on board, Zoe talks over motherhood with Jayne's ma. Inara, Kaylee, and River each have unique advice of their own.

2x11 - Mal finds a planet for Jayne and family to settle on. The crew takes a few days away from petty theft to help the family get set up. Mal reminisces about growing up on Shadow. Kaylee talks about her home life. More drama about Zoe maybe getting off the ship and settling down, but of course she stays on in the end.

THIS IS SO HILARIOUS!!! I was talking about the future of Firefly with a friend of mine today. Heres what I came up with, so please don't anybody rip me a new one for my fantastical idea. WHAT IF... Either in Serenity 2 or in the 2nd season of Firefly, The Alliance is developing... TIME TRAVEL. Explain some scientific stuff with something to do with black holes, or some new machine,yada yada...

Mal hears about it or some crap, and seeing how Zoe is distraught and the crew is distant, decides, with the help of river, to go back to those few critical moments and bring back Wash and Book.Preferably Wash because of the comedic factor, and because book lived a full life.

All right, so they (being Zoe and Mal) go back save wash, and at the same time, river defeats and kills some of the blue hands.

The ending: Zoe and Wash reunited, possible baby, Kaylee and Simon, possible marriage later, Inara and Mal relationship progression, BAM!!!!

Either do this in Serenity 2 or in a 2 hour series premiere to kick the new season off with a bang. I can's stand the thought of Wash being killed off for good. He was so friggin funny. I will boycott the new series if he's not in it people!!!!
(JUST KIDDING)

AND WE ARE NOT KILLING ANYONE ELSE OFF!!!!

CURSE YOUR SUDDEN, BUT INEVITABLE BETRAYAL!!!

Here are my 2 cents on a second season (or another BDM?)

Kaylee, not Zoe is pregnant resulting in a "shotgun wedding" presided over by a very reluctant Mal as captain and Jayne with Vera ensuring Simon makes an honest woman of Kaylee.

Simon is more than a bit overwhelmed with his new responsibilities. Now he not only has to take care of River but also his new family. He almost has a breakdown from the stress.

Fun does ensue when Mal and Jayne take care of the baby.

River and Jayne form an odd friendship that sets Simon off further.

On the Mal/Inara front things are as angsty(is that a word?) as ever with a step forward and two steps back. They do make love but it separates them as they retreat from each other again.

Jobs are few and far between. There are rumblings from the Independants and Mal wants nothing to do with them. The Alliance tries to crack down on smugglers and others even harder thinking the smugglars are aiding the Independants.

Zoe is of an opposite mind and wants to join the new Indepdendant movement. She takes chances that she hasn't before and has several brushes with death.

In the season cliffhanger Niska appears again and uses YoSafBridge to get near the crew. He then kidnaps Inara and of course Mal and the rest of the crew comes to her rescue.
