It is a shame that they couldn't have Badger, but I'd rather miss Badger than, say, Book, which as I recall it looked possible at one point. Some plots might drive me to miss Saffron, too, now I think about it.

Oh for sure. I was worried that the casting spoiler was going to be no Book.
Casting spoilers? How about Joss Whedon saying Serenity wouldn't have been possible without the participation of his entire principal cast? (EW, 5/21/04) Like that came as a surprise.
Not a spoiler for the movie, just news for the filming of the movie...
On the OB recently, Adam Baldwin said that Universal would be putting up a Weblog for the movie, like Fox had for the series, and he would keep us posted on when and where.
I'm starting to believe it's really happening...
In case people didn't read the AICN article, Chiwetel Ejiofor (the awesome lead actor in "Dirty Pretty Things") will be starring in "Serenity."
Chiwetel Ejiofor is awesome! Both in looks and talent. The article says more roles are yet to be cast - can't wait to see who else lands up in Serenity!
Man, this movie is gonna rock all of my worlds.
Chiwetel Ejiofor? Fucking A! Go Joss!
Early wasn't "disarmingly sophisticated". I can't imagine anyone feeling at ease around him. YEMV.
I'd base my not-Early on "The newly created character did not appear in the original series."
