A prose development of that idea exists, too. [link]
(this is not so much a recommendation as me remembering I have it bookmarked and wondering if I'm ever going to get around to reading it.)

Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
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.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
if anyone's interested, here's pretty much what started the ball rolling on my idea for Tim's fvcked up brainchild: [link]
Basically, I protected my innocent little self by speculating that the poison makes Inara poisonous to the touch, *anywhere*, so the second she gets grabbed: dead reaver, instantly. So the most she'd suffer would be scratches, bruises, radiation exposure (bad enough) and the horror of looking upon the reavers.

What is even happening?
Article on the Case Film Society holding a 12 hour Firefly marathon to raise money for Equality Now and the Cleveland Domestic Violence Center. I think Tamara is quoted in it: [link]

I stand firmly by the "Operative as Book's proxy" theory, although of course only in general terms.
Agreed. When Mal tells Book that someday he'll have to tell him where he got all is knowledge about operatives and Book responds "No I don't", you could pretty much add "because I already did" to his response. The statements regarding belief tie Book and the Operative together.
I'm probably stating the obvious above, but I though it was cool that Joss didn't feel the need to explain absolutely everything.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I think Tamara is quoted in it:
It isn't me since I have seen the episodes and the movie countless times. :)

Well, yeah. Duh on me. I plead not guilty by reason of it being 5 something in the morning, when I read it.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Joss is in London at the moment, and apparently told somebody he is working on a Firefly related 'sequel' of some description.
Also, Serenity is 1.

Per Warren Ellis's "Bad Signal," he had dinner with people including Whedon and some SFX folk last night. Apparently they were talking about D2DVD stuff quite a bit.
So I'm guessing that's the context.
