I suppose there could be delayed aftereffects of the stuff they did to River.
And maybe the Feds were looking for River but not Simon, or River would have stood out more than Simon, which is why River had to travel in a box.
OK, I'm reaching here....
Her lucidity has not been a linear progression exactly; only in the very long term has this been the case. She was on/off/on/off for much of the series' run, so I don't see why it's unreasonable to assume she was lucid or not at any given point.
I wanted a scene with them all laughing together at the kitchen table.
This. This is what would have been perfect at the beginning, before they went down to the planet. And then an alarm goes off, and they start their descent.
Also couldn't it have been a Dyson sphere - not the more advanced single shell ones, but a variation on Dyson's orginal design - with the moons not just laid out in a single orbit, but a shell around the sun. (not really even as advanced as Dyson's orginal - fewer larger worlds) That would give you space for a heck of a lot of worlds. You would have to do some very trickly calculations to keep worlds from bumping into one another, but ...
The only thing is, I don't read their technology as advanced enough to move planetary masses into new orbits. The terraforming alone looked to have taken decades to perform.
And is it wrong that, in the scene at the graves, all I could think was "DAMN, Gina Torres is HOTT!!!"?
She looked freaking beautiful in that scene.
The terraforming alone looked to have taken decades to perform.
I think they even said this was so.

So...Wash isn't dead, right? It's just a fake spoiler, and I'll go see the movie again in September, and scenes will have been reshot, and WASH WON'T BE DEAD, RIGHT?
ow.
The good-guys are stalwart and true. The bad-guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats and we always defeat them and save the day. Nobody ever dies…and everybody lives happily ever after.
