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.
Eggs. The living legend needs eggs. Or maybe another milk.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Early wasn't "disarmingly sophisticated". I can't imagine anyone feeling at ease around him. YEMV.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd base my not-Early on "The newly created character did not appear in the original series."

Right. But I'd say the character's not even Early-esque.

But he fulfills the Early role -- meaning no Early.

Was it ever established that Early was freelance, or did they leave it open enough so that he could have been part of an organization? If the latter is a possibility, the new guy could be from the same "guild" (to bring out an old D&D term).

Fulfills the Early role? For all we know, he could be Early's brother, seeking him for a duel to the death. I don't think his existence says anything one way or another -- he's just not Early.

That's all I meant -- that if he's there, then it seem unlikely that Jubal Early would be there too.
(If he were Early's brother -- it would be interesting to see if he's as nuts as Early is.)
