Posting for Liz because Liz got kidnapped. Don't panic: we are currently in the process of collecting the blood of virgins to offer to the aliens as ransom. Everything should be fine. Happens all the time.

2. OMFG WE KNOW BOOK'S SECRET HE PRACTICALLY FUCKING SAID IT WATCH THE FUCKING MOVIE. I hate fans like you.

Dude, dude, c'mon, the convention panel transcripts clearly negate this with the Master Ballet Dancer revelation. Give the kid a break!

ILU, anonymous.

..what's his secret then? I've seen the movie countless times and we don't flat-out know what it is, we just know what it's not.

I figured it was obvious. He has a high-level no-questions-asked Alliance clearance, knowledge of the inner workings of the Alliance, and he gave Mal advice regarding the operative's tactics. Sure, we don't have a clear picture of "here's who he worked for, here's who he killed, here's why he left," but it seems to me like something like that would be beating a dead horse.

...that's still far from knowing his secret. far from knowing his story. how did he get that clearance and if he has it and all of that knowledge, why is he a Shepard? especially since he has no set faith he is preaching but instead faith in general?

and we find out about Book's high-level no-questions asked Alliance clearnace, not in the movie, but in the episode Safe and his knowledge of the inner workings of the Alliance show up here and there throughout the series

I did "watch the fucking movie", thanks. I'm sorry I'm apparently so mentally subnormal I couldn't pick up on what was so incredibly obvious and magically divine the backstory I wanted to see from his short appearance. It sure is a good thing I'm not actually active in Firefly fandom or else I might pollute it with my unforgivable stupidity.

I hate fans like you too, by the way. :D

Apology accepted!

You're right that we can infer quite a bit of Book's story; but infer =/= actual, definitive canon. And besides, there's so much of it that we STILL don't know. Why he left, HOW he left (they still know who he is, like we saw)... so really, you're just being an asshole for no reason.
