I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

Um.
You mean with extensive re-edits to already released movies and a creole slinging goofball CGI character?
Mal shot first.

Heh. I can think of several moments where they could pull this particular violation.
First off, this time, Patience's horse will take a shot at Mal...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I support blackfonted trailer talk.
"I support blackfooted trailer trash" -- um, no. Regional thing.

Beverly, you have gotten too surreal, even for me, which is a whole lot of surreal.
