I don`t really hang out with a lot of people anymore. In the past I always had to surrounded myself with a crowd. Today, I just don`t need it. But while my life might seem dull to some, it`s exciting to me. That`s because through my sobriety, I`m finally able to enjoy a level of serenity that I`ve witnessed in other people but never had myself. And that kind of self-contentment can`t be purchased or acquired. It has to be earned. I`m trying to earn it. Everyday.

- Nathan FillionIf it were up to me, how would the characters` relationships conclude in Serenity 2? Okay. Hypothetically speaking only. River and Zoe really hit it off, fall in love, and decide to form their own renegade girls-who-kick-ass space team and leave us in the dust; Mal realizes he`s more destroyed over Wash`s death than he ever thought and spends the rest of his days wearing Hawaiian shirts and drinking booze out of the engine; Simon and Kaylee have a set of genius triplets and turn the ship into a cocker spaniel search-and-rescue with "crazy Grandpa Mal" still at the helm cradling toy dinosaurs; and Inara finally realizes the potential in Jayne as a male companion, loans him a toga, and takes him back to the training house where they become King and Companion Queen...you know you want that sequel!
