Quote:Originally posted by Storymark: Id also do a homage/recreation of the opening of the show, using footage from the film (all set to "You can't take the sky from me" of course) which would come right between the "What was that" final line, and the real final credits.

Quote:Originally posted by chrisisall: Quote:Originally posted by MIKER: That's OK, just a difference of opinion. We just happened to have watched the movie tonight. The Operative ended up helping Mal & his crew and became a better man (like Mal did) so Mal killing him would have made Mal evil in the revenge thing. The Operative posed no threat then, and assisted to boot. The movie was about redemption. Revenge would have turned it into simple reactive crap, like a futuristic Death Wish. Serenity was awesome in its execution. Joss rocks.

Quote:Originally posted by chrisisall: Quote:Originally posted by MIKER: He kills children.So does the Taliban, and the U.S. through drone strikes. The POINT of the movie is change & redemption, not sheer punitive action based on past transgressions. If you believe change is not possible for an individual (or by extension, society as a whole), then you are, in your mind, condemning us to eternal war IMHO.

Quote:Originally posted by Moose: He's broken and she wants to fix him. Or could be just "because". It worked for me. I wonder if they're going to still follow the "Inara is dying" plotline or going to discard it.
Quote: Back on topic, I was bummed when they released the Collector's DVD and it was't an extended cut. Especially since Joss has said that many of the deletions were due mainly to running time.

Quote:Originally posted by AURaptor: That, the stories being told about Inara's affair with a 'pirate', and how she reacted to the news of Mal hooking up w/ Nandi, bring me back to the 1 simple question... What does Inara see in Mal ? Other than he's ruggedly handsome,and it works for the story, why is Inara so smitten w/ him ?

Quote:Originally posted by AURaptor: Mal is such a mystery, and yet he opens up most to ... YoSaffBridge , before he knew who she was. Now isn't that something. I suppose Mal saw ' Saffron ' at face value, as who she appeared to be. Simple, god fearing, from an agricultural society, prolly not too much unlike his own history. The simple answer is that the war changed Mal. Which, it certainly did, but I have to think there's more to it than just the war. There's a latent drive in Mal which I don't think was brought out in the series or BDM. Inara may be right. There's more to Mal than meets the eye. Now, I'm not suggesting any sort of super secret Operative like past, as we suspect for Shepherd Book, but as Patience might say... " there's something there "

Quote:Originally posted by ecgordon: Quote:Originally posted by MIKER: Maybe Inara see's what Mal is deep in his soul? I'm thinking it is because she can't see deep in his soul is what intrigues her so much about Mal. She said that Saffron might have had Companion training because she could read people so well, and it is clear that Nandi thought she could read the "true" Mal. There are times Inara thinks she can read Mal, but then he also surprises her on many occasions.

Quote:Originally posted by MIKER: I don't think it matters what the original concept of who Mal was matters. What I think matters is what the concept of Mal was during the taping of the show and movie and what Nathan brought to the role. That differed greatly from the original concept. Mal was raised through rose colored glasses until the war of independence showed him what the verse was really like. Harsh and cruel. It took from him all he loved but he tried to create a new family aboard Serenity. A family who according to Book, he was very protective of.
