I propose a new Firefly timeline

To recap, I thought the new Firefly timeline could go something like this

• The end of the TV series in Objects in Space
• The capture of River by someone. Could be the Hands of Blue or a new villain.  
• The rescue of River (now by the crew of Serenity) and the visit of the Operative to the Laboratory. 

The gory details about how this came about is here. There are a few plot points between the TV series and the movie to be addressed  

1. Inara's departure
2. Shepard Book's departure
3. The role of and eventual demise of the Hands of Blue (maybe)

It would also create opportunities for new critical story lines or story points.   

• The Hands of Blue would still be alive and still chasing River
• There could more storylines involving Inara and Sheppard Book with the crew before their departures
• And the eventual re-capture of River and her being brought to the Laboratory. 
• The search by the crew of Serenity to find where River was brought to. 
• The planning and execution of the rescue
• The events leading to their heist on Lilac 

And between it all other storylines that create new stories, introduce other characters or expand minor characters from the movie to be more prominent. The Operative could be introduced sooner or another villain would take over from the Hands of Blue and capture River. Which would eventually lead to the movie Serenity.

Just thinking aloud. 

Was I thinking of writing fan fiction using this timeline? Nothing became out of just thinking.
