You know I just thought of something. Everyone kind of had this theory that is a certain percentage of those that bought the Fierfly DVD went to see Serenity, everything would be just fine. Maybe that was a serious calculation after all are the people who buy DVDs the folks who go to the movies or the folks who prefer the stay at home movies such as DVDs!
I'll be in my bunk.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
By mere coincidence, I started watching "Da Vinci's Inquest" this evening and who did I see? Jewel Staite.
Heh, me too! She was a horny teenager before she became a horny spaceship mechanic!
I have a memory of something I was sure I'd seen in a trailer that was not in the movie that could've been a reference to Book's past. I'm gonna check the script before I speculate, though.

At the Premier Q and A Joss said that both Wash and Book would be back in the sequel, should there be one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
As vampires?

He was non-specific, merely said that they would be in any possible sequel. Perhaps a prequel? I don't know, just reporting what he said.

Ok, if we're talking plot holes... at the end, when everyone is hunkered down behind the locked door, why couldn't they have called the elevator and at least gotten further away? Sure, it may have only delayed the inevitable (i.e. being Reaver lunch) but in that case I'd think you'd try anything to survive (especially Jayne) as long as possible.

Inara says at one point, "The lift wont move!" or somesuch.

Hmm, Mal didn't seem to have any trouble using it. Oh well, we know Joss isn't big on the technology.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mal didn't seem to have any trouble using it.
Mal wasn't calling it from the same place they were. If the panel in the room where they were trapped was broken, it makes perfect sense.

All I can come up with is: maybe his dinky little stun gun couldn't get the job done from the distance where the fight started. Once they were on the central platform, he didn't have time while fighting Mal. Once he thought Mal was defeated, there was no need to destroy the transmitting equipment.
It's probably the same type of stun gun that the Alliance had in the series, which only affected people. Like the one Jayne couldn't shoot a door with.
