Yeah, in the interview, he did say that the one thing they really tweaked was the break-out, which Simon was never really a big part of originally. ::shrug:: It didn't bother me, but I suppose some people could have disliked him in the movie. It's hard be objective, those of us that "get" Simon because we knew him in the series.
But in Serenity (the pilot), he totally showed off some of his mad acting skills. He was super stuck up when he first boarded the ship, so I can see him pulling off a member of the military. Of course, as you watch the pilot and TV series progress, I think he looses confidence as he becomes more and more shocked by his surroundings, truly becoming a fish out of water with every weird and dangerous thing that happens.
And yeah, the vibes were a little different. He would have never hit Mal first in the series. Too barbarian...not to mention that oath he took there....:)
