Have to agree somewhat with Shard that I didn't like how powerful River became at the end. Sure, she didn't contribute much to the first 90% of the movie , but her killing all the Reavers was entirely predictable, and she looked positively *lucid* at the end.
That doesn't bode well for the next Firefly movie (if and when...). The only thing I can think of is that Joss is planning to send in another Operative with *all* of River's control commands, and turn her against the rest of the crew. Now that she's "part of the family", that might make for an interesting dilemma.
Actually, the whole River character in Serenity really smacks of Joss' personal DM-NPC! "Hmm, looks like those idiots couldn't figure out the Miranda clue. They're just flailing around now. Guess I'll just have to get River to *show* them the solution to the riddle."
