Serenity: No Power In The Verse - 5 Things That Must Happen

5. Show The New Resistance

Following the events of the movie, a new resistance was formed, but we haven't seen much of what that looks like at this point. How does it compare to the war that happened before?

Serenity ended with a huge government secret being revealed. Throughout the course of the television series, we saw some characters that strongly supported the Alliance, but others that had a more tenuous relationship with the governing body. The crew of Serenity uncovered and transmitted a message, which revealed how the Alliance attempted to make an entire population sedated by unknowingly pumping chemicals into the air. When their plans spectacularly backfired, the Alliance attempted to permanently keep it under wraps.

With this knowledge out in the universe now, a new resistance against the Alliance has surfaced. Given that the main character in Firefly has actively rebelled before, viewers have an innate curiosity to see how this new resistance is different. Is it as large as the Independence army? Will it become a full scale rebellion? How will the crew of Serenity react to a new resistance that they are responsible for instigating?

Independence and rebellion are key aspects of this story. Given the involvement that Mal and his crew had in sparking the resistance, the story cannot leave them on the fringes of space for long. Both the crew and the readers need to see how this changed the verse.
