Huh. I was a little surprised to see that the mathy brother from Numb3rs is in the movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone disagree that the trailer isn't whitefont fodder?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I support blackfonted trailer talk.

If I only had a brain...
I read that as "I support blackfonted trailer tralk", and I went to a Farscape crossover place.
We've always said before that anything on-air, including teasers, was fair game; I think that goes for the movie trailer, too.

I'm excited to hear how fast the various premiers are selling out. I hope that bodes well for the success of the general release.

Bwah. So maybe they won't CGI-wipe Zoe out with JarJar - they'll replace her with Rygel instead.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Please feel free to highlight anything you feel should be blackfont.

Completely unspoiled speculation about why Book is so scarce in the trailer: He's grabbed by Reavers for "conversion" when a job goes south, and Mal feels responsible for finding him, to put him down, if nothing else.
Joss is a big fan of The Searchers, I think, so it would be a nifty variation, especially with Mal's attitude towards religion being so complicated.
As I said, just a total shot-in-the-dark guess.
eta The premise would work for Kaylee too, which would be closer to The Searchers, but I don't think she could hold out as long as Book could, given that he seems to have had some kind of military/police training.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I told my father I managed to get a ticket to the Chicago screening and he's rather jealous. Sometimes I think he's more obssessed with the show than I am.

I would be loathe to assume that the trailer is representative of much other than what its editors thought was cool. Kaylee could be in every single other frame in the movie, just that the editors were all over the River love.
