[QUOTE="Tetsubo, post: 2626008, member: 1250"] Further thoughts on the movie: I don't think that Book was an Opertaive. You do not let an Opertive retire. You send out a New Operative to take out an Old Operative. If the New one wins, you have a new man for the job. And if the Old one wins you know that he's fit for duty. I figure that Book was the Control for an Operative. The Reavers are done. Period. The only reason they had any success was the fact that the Alliance was denying their existence. That is no longer required. Which means the Military can step in now. A small Military unit caught in an ambush took out an entire Reaver fleet and completed their mission (assist the Opertaive in the capture of the Tams). The Reavers just became a live fire exercise for the Alliance Fleet. The Reavers can't continue as a functioning group anyway. They are a disorganized lot of psychopaths. Barely able to maintain their ships and personal firearms. Some can't even do that, resorting to hand weapons and primitive missile weapons. In addition I believe that they are all males. They rape, skin and kill anyone that isn't a Reaver. They are not parent material. You could never get them all to agree to NOT eat the small, helpless infant. I can see the Alliance weaponizing the Pax gas though. Here's why: You have a planet of citizens that have decided they don't need the Alliance. The Alliance takes a group of political prisoners (I'm sure they have planets full of them) and exposes them to Pax. They put the new Reavers into ships and "dump" them near the planet of disagreeable citizens. The Fleet waits a few hours after the SOS call goes out about the Reaver raid. The Fleet flies in and "saves" the day. The grateful citizens don't mind having an Allinace base built on their world suddenly... Problem solved. If any Reavers get away, the Alliance detonates the bombs built into their ships. Bye-bye Reavers. The Reavers will become a tool of the Alliance. But then I'm a bitter, cynical old man... [/QUOTE]
