Hi, I was just watching the trailer and about a third of the way in, Mal shoots what looks like something horrenduously disfigured. Is that a Reever or an Alien? I tend to think of it as the latter because in the series, they rescue someone from a Reever attack. That person attacks the Alliance and Firefly crew which leads me to believe that person was a Reever. Therefore Reevers are human like and that thing that Mal shoots doesn't look human. Anyone care to clear it up for me. Just found a vidcap of the thing I'm talking about, its at "

I'd say it is a Reaver. The person they rescued from the transport in the series had been a passenger on the ship when it got attacked by reavers. Mal said he had gone insane from being forced to watch what they were doing to their victims, and the only thing he knew how to do now was to become one. That is why he started to deform himself and attack the Alliance people.

No aliens in Firefly!

It's a reaver. There are no aliens in Serenityverse.

Likely a Reaver. The guy who was 'left' by the Reavers in Bushwhacked had only started to desicrate his own flesh. Given time, he would have probably ended up looking much like our friend in the trailer. Or not. Guess we gotta watch and find out!

Also, if you recall the Trans U that the Reavers were flying in had high radiation readings which Wash remarked -" That's suicide!" . Add that into the equation when wondering how some Reavers might appear.

" They don't like it when you shoot at 'em. I worked that out myself. "

Well, that explains why the Reevers look the way he does. It's the radiation, not the cannabalism, none of the Papuan/Amazonian cannabal tribes ever looked as bad as that creature.

On a different note, nice to see a stronger River character. I think back, I advocated getting rid of her character, changed my mind. Didn't see the Book in the trailer, did I miss him? Is he only going to be a bit part this time. The only people I see is Mal, River, Jayne. I did only briefly see "Jewel", Zoe, Wash.

Is 30th September the International Release date or just for America/Canada?
