Okay so after watching Serenity I am more impressed with the Firefly series. The movie brought with it more visible Asian aspects of the show, regardless of the fact that there is not one Asian person in the ENTIRE series. This Asianness is more represented in River Tam, who in my opinion was totally B.A. for demolishing what looked like an entire armada of reever cronies, set on devouring the flesh of her and her companions.
The anonymous agent of the Alliance also was particularly "Asian" in the sense that he believed in the purpose behind the Alliance, which is to bring unity and stability to its subjects, which is a very common Asian concept to sacrifice the liberties of one's own life for the good of the state.
Over all I was pleased with the way the movie took place, and for me it provided me with a sense of closure for the abrupt ending to the entire series.

Wow...your idea about the alliance's goal being "Asian" is really interesting. Anyone care to jump in on that one?
Are you saying that "Asian-ness" means being inherently Altruistic?
I guess that is kind of a stereotype, but then again I know nothing of Asian Studies/am totally slavic white girl.
