Nor did the sexual tension between Kaylee and Simon.

I would have loved to have known Book's background.

I still think that there is more to what was done with River than just the origins of the Reavers.

Since when does killing off characters mean they can't come back? The simplest answer is just ignore Serenity and keep making Firefly of course. Which may be pretty easy because the two could have happened years apart.

Agree on those two for sure, but there are many more. Mal has this crazy notion of being noble and keeps leaving people alive. He's got haters all across the galaxy so I see no shortage of stories. The crazy torture guy and the dufus Irishman for starters.

That would not help the story in the least. This isn't Goram's Anatomy.

Also ... only two left.

Don't mess with Firefly, damnit.

Nerd power!

I love this show.

Ahh can you explain that clip for me? I don't get it.

Um, she wants to get laid cause all she's had in a year was a battery operated device to keep her happy. Mal, who is like a father figure to her, doesn't want to hear that kind of thing, while Jayne is keen to hear more about it.
