'Safe'
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, the room Mal was in didn't have Reaver gunfire ricocheting all over it.
I did wonder what good the blast doors were going to be in sealing out the Reavers if they were going to pop open automatically a few minutes later. River didn't key them open, she was posing dramatically halfway across the room.
