Buckle up for the theatrical return of a classic Sci-Fi series cancelled before its time, but wasn’t quite big enough to merit a full series return like Star Trek. And here’s hoping you were a dedicated fan of the series, because the movie assumes you are fully up to speed and thrusts us right into the meat of the action! Starring: Unresolved Sexual Tension (Malcom and Inara) Resolved Sexual Tension (Simon and Kaylee) Demoted to Extra: (Sheppard Book) River The Reaver Slayer: (River) Aw, man! There goes another one of my favorite characters (Wash) The fans after the movie was over: (Zoe at Wash’s funeral) Jayne doing what’s expected of him at this point: (Jayne) CLOSURE (Honest Trailer Title) ...so the government created something terrible and then did everything it could to keep that secret buried. Umm...hey anyone want to talk about the theory that River is a future Vampire Slayer!

Fox never aired the 2 hour pilot. Joss and Co had to write the first ep over a weekend and cram all of the world building into that ep. (Train Robbery) Then Fox showed the eps out of order because they wanted to frontload the series with action... Then cancelled it because the story / character arcs didn't make sense... FOR SOME REASON.
