What I hope happens:

The story ends up taking a twist when Wash, Donut, Sarge, and Lopez reappear ... fighting for the Federals. Because the New Republic wasn't telling the whole truth - this war isn't just a fight for the planet and there's something more under the surface.

What I fear will happen:

The story doesn't take a twist. Wash and Sarge are inevitably rescued - Donut and Lopez pop up eventually. And this really is just a story about a scrappy band of goodhearted underdogs (Republic) versus the big, scary, pointlessly evil empire (Federals). And the show continues as Season 11 was - an incredibly slow-moving story of our heroes standing around doing nothing, with cliffhangers peppered in to raise hopes that something will finally happen (Locus doing something evil, random shot of some unknown location, Carolina, etc.) that almost never amounts to anything.
