If Firefly were to have gotten a second season, what story arcs would you have liked to see explored?

I would have wanted to find out more about Book and his background, as well as seen Simon and Kaylee get together and be a couple. I also would have liked to see Mal and Inara as a couple, to see if Inara could soften him up a little bit. 🙂
 
Guess you guys already covered the obvious things that I also would've wanted see.

Books background, learn more about River and what the heck those hands of blue guys was up to.
Also pretty sure that's exactly what we would have seen. Makes me a bit sad thinking about.

I also would have liked to see Mal and Inara as a couple, to see if Inara could soften him up a little bit. 🙂
We would most likely got to see this too. But that's not something I would've liked actually.
Mal was bound to soften up and becomming more of a proper hero imho. Hopefully not too much though since that's not the character that I wanted to see. Not in this show anyway.

Book's background, more UST with Mal and Inara, Inara's illness storyline and maybe something like a bromance between Jayne and Wash. I always thought there was potential there as they're quite different personality wise but both pretty funny.

Inara had an illness? Did I miss something??
A bromance between Jayne and Wash would have been awesome. They were both hilarious and I would have loved more interaction between them.

It was only hinted at but yeah apparently she was going to have some kind of terminal illness. I think at one point she injects herself and there's a comment about 'not wanting to die at all,' but other than that there wasn't much chance to develop it.

I'm sure there was a thread about it at some point with sources, I'd try and find it but I'm a bit sleepy.
 
This will sound sadistic, but I would love to have seen Zoe weaknesses. During the half a season on TV and the movie, the only real weakness we see from her is almost getting herself killed after Wash dies, and that's not that bad. I guess I agree with that warrior poet, you don't trully get to know someone unless you hold them over the vulcanos edge. And while I appreciate that she's a kick ass character, if she died, I wouldn't care that much. Because she's hard to emphatize with. We didn't get to see her afraid, beaten down, depressed, or anything. We of course saw that she wasn't made out of stone, she did have feelings and doubts and weaknesses, but not enough.

So I would have wanted to see her weak side in the new season. With Wash dying, that would have been a great opportunity to see her go off the rails in some way.

And I would have liked to have Kaylee and Simon get together. Because then we could have seen if they would have worked together. Because you see, I think it may still, even after the movie, be just about two people, who don't have many options getting together, as Simon pointed out in Jaynestown. It just seemed like Kaylee was horny and thought Simon was pretty and Simon thought she was there, so why not?

They do get along really well, so maybe I'm wrong. I would just like to see their relationship tested.
 
Quite a bit of what has been mentioned so far was dealt with in the movie, but I would also have liked to see more about how Mal and Zoe got from Serenity Valley (either being captured by the Alliance somehow managing to escape) to the point where they decided to buy a ship and basically become space gypsies.
And, for that matter, where they came up with the funds to buy and repair the ship. There just HAS to be an interesting story there.

Also, I would have liked to know more about the war itself, what issues led up to it and what the consequences of the rebellion were, as opposed to what the Alliance used to justify it.
 
Book, River, hands of Blue, Book... mainly I wanted to know about Book. I think I would have liked to see Kaylee and Simon together, mostly because she's so adorable but I would have wanted Inara/Mal to go the way of Cangel, i.e no real action, I don't know why I just feel they're far more appealing apart and kind of damaged but longing for something they want but can't share.
