I thought this was interesting in light of yesterday's conversation. It's about one reviewer's experience with some Serenity fans.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Now tagless for your comfort.
From the linked article:
My feelings certainly aren't hurt, and believe it or not most of us greatly appreciate feedback from readers -- even those who accuse us of seeking the genocide of Trekkies. But as a lifelong dork, who wishes there was more science fiction on the screen, these responses make me worry: Is this a rogue geek faction or is this what science fiction fandom is becoming? What are our chances of seeing more movies like "Serenity" if fans are ranting at the critics who loved the movie the most?
I've wondered that myself. A lot. A whole lot.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Aw. They needed someone to threaten them to NOT send the apples.

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.
Wow. That's just infuriariting that people can be that craxy and stupid. I'm glad some other fans are piping up to apologize for the ridiculous behavior of the loonies.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
I was talking to a friend about Serenity last night, and had a great thought for the next movie. Anyway, I thought it was great. It all came about because I was thinking that the Operative in many ways stood for Book. I think it's likely that Book had a similar story. This was reinforced when he said that he didn't have to explain his past, when earlier he had implied that he would. Also, rumors that Book and Wash might show up in a future film impacted it.
So, my theory is this: When Book decided to retire as an operative, why wasn't he killed? It had to be because he had too much information in places where it would come out if he were killed. This would explain his treatment in Safe as well. The Alliance did not want him to have an unnatural death. Now, he clearly has had an unnatural death. What if the information he had squirreled away in various locations now started to come out? I'm not sure what the crew would have to do with this, but I'm sure Joss or Tim (!) could figure that out.
I have absolutely no idea if any of this is "true" or not. This is simply the rambling of one, possibly deranged, mind, and not a spoiler for anything at all because I don't know diddlysquat about anyone's actual plans for any possible future movies or episodes.
