* ExtremeLibido: Simon and Kaylee are a monogamous version, ever since hooking up in the BigDamnMovie. Results in at least two instances of InterruptedIntimacy.
-->'''Zoe:''' Where's your brother and Kaylee?\\
'''River:''' Where do you think?\\
'''Zoe:''' Couple of rabbits, those two.

* HappyEndingOverride: ''Serenity'' ended on a sombre but hopeful note -- with resistance hopeful and the Operative trying to convince the Alliance that Mal and his crew are no longer a threat. That's all undone here: the Alliance in hell-bent on killing Mal and his crew forcing them on the run, Irana has been kicked out of the Companion's Guild for siding with Mal, and [[spoiler: the Alliance kills most of the resistance to their rule.]]

* BaldWoman: Iris, a "complete" subject of the Academy. [[spoiler:Kalista as well, as she's also a "completed" Academy subject]].

* BigBad: Kalista, the chief Operative and [[spoiler:former Academy subject, who intends for River to rejoin the "family."]]

* ExtremeLibido: Simon and Kaylee, ever since hooking up in the BigDamnMovie. Results in at least two instances of InterruptedIntimacy.

* InterruptedIntimacy: Kaylee and Simon twice. The first time is when Zoe goes into labor; they come into sickbay still sorting out their clothes. Way later, Mal calls down to the engine room for Kaylee to fire up the engines, catching her in the middle of having sex with Simon.

* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: ''ComicBook/SerenityThoseLeftBehind'' established that Zoe was pregnant with Wash's daughter. She has the baby in the first issue of ''Leaves on the Wind'' and names her Emma.

* TortureTechnician: ''[[NiceGirl Kaylee]]'', of all people, threatens to torture [[spoiler:Jubal Early]] after he's captured. To be fair, he did just take the crew hostage (which involved PistolWhipping both her captain ''and'' her boyfriend), and the last time he was on the ship, he did [[spoiler:threaten to rape her]], so she at least has a good reason to do this. In the end she ends up [[spoiler:throws him out with the trash. At high altitude.]]

Eight months after the crew of ''Serenity'' revealed the Anglo-Sino Alliance's role in the creation of the Reavers and the deaths of thirty million people on Miranda, popular resistance to Alliance rule is mounting. Hunted by vengeful Alliance agents and still reeling from the deaths of Hoban "Wash" Washburne and Shepherd Derrial Book, Malcolm Reynolds and crew are in hiding in the fringes of the system, low on supplies and money and considering breaking cover just to find something to eat. But the Resistance finds them first.

* BigBad: Kalista, the chief Operative and [[spoiler: former Academy subject, who intends for River to rejoin the "family."]]

* GenderBlenderName: Subverted. Zoe tells Kaylee she's naming her baby Hoban after her father (cue WTF from Kaylee), but she was joking: the kid's real name is Emma.

* RelationshipUpgrade: Inara and Mal have become a couple between the movie and the start of the series.

* YouAreTooLate: [[spoiler:When the Alliance commander explains that the Alliance had funded the New Resistance to bring it into the open so it could be eliminated, Bea hollers for the others to sound the alarm, but the commander says he called it in hours ago and those aboard ''Serenity'' are all that's left.]]

* BigBad: Kalista, the chef Operative and [[spoiler: former Academy subject, who intends for River to rejoin the "family."]]

* CurbStompBattle: When the gang raids the lab where River was made, they encounter a "completed" version of River. Iris easily overpowers Mal (thrown knife to the neck), Jayne (dodges spread from Vera, [[GroinAttack kicks him in the groin]], and breaks his elbow), and Bea ({{Pistol Whip|ping}}ed in the head with Vera), with only River managing to hold her off (and she still gets the crap beat out of her). [[spoiler:River finally beats Iris when Mal throws her a hypo full of sedative.]]

* SequelHook: [[spoiler: Kalista is still out there, and she as an army of completed Academy subjects at her hand.]]
* ShowdownAtHighNoon: [[spoiler:After the Operative helps rescue Zoe, she follows him into the woods and throws him a pistol, telling him that despite him helping save her, he still killed her husband and that debt can't be repaid. The scene ends with them standing under the trees waiting to draw. Next panel Zoe comes back to the ship, but it's not stated whether she killed the Operative.]]

* TheDreaded: [[[spoiler: When the Operative sees Kalista, he drops to his knees, and asks for a quick death.]]

* TheAlcatraz[=/=]PenalColony: After her operation, the Alliance commander hunting ''Serenity'' sends Zoe to a prison on a SingleBiomePlanet where the {{terraform}}ing didn't take, leaving it a barren desert world. So barren that the camp doesn't need walls and the guards don't even bother chasing Zoe when she makes a break for it [[spoiler:until they see Mal and company coming to get her on the Mule]].

* InterruptedIntimacy: At one point Mal calls down to the engine room for Kaylee to fire up the engines. He caught her in the middle of having sex with Simon.
