I think it's been implied that Wash would be the Joss alter-ego of the group.

Speaking of
holes who don't know Joss' name, this was from the first email I recieved from FoxMusic regarding the soundtrack:Quote:
Announcing the long awaited original television soundtrack from [bold]Josh Whedon's TV series “Firefly” - available for purchase now at the Fox Music Store.
Thanks Fox!

[Dopey? I looked up the definition... one applies, but the commonly held one does not.
Catatonic? um... no.]
"Fillion, an obvious alterego for Wheldon, is given all the sexy close-ups."
[So... Mal = Whedon? Hardly.]

She might have this one nailed, it's usually a device writers use - whether consciously or subconsciously...
Yes, I think a problem with this review is that the reviewer is ASSUMING, based on the pattern of other movies, certain things about Serenity which are not true....and most reviewers do it.....
It is a device they use....
What follows is a quote from Joss...see full interview at http://homepage.mac.com/merussell/iblog/B835531044/C1592678312/E200509

"Mal is somebody that I knew, as I created him, I would not get along with. I don't think we have the same politics...." It goes on to imply that Mal is "wrong" according to Joss, but the movie is (if anything) about the right to be wrong...
Dont sound like much of an alter ego to me!...That, after all... is what Wash is for.....

My friend told me that he read a review in the paper this morning that gave Serenity a 5/10. He said the review just said this, "I give Serenity a 5/10, the movie didn't intrigue me much but everyone else in the theater loved it."
Does the movie not explain who these people are at all? Even if it doesn't, a 5/10!? Jeez, I usually would only give something less than a 6 if it sucked beyond belief.

Thumbs up to Scott Weinberg. Comes over as "Reviewer babbling like you do when you spill out onto the street after seeing a really great movie".
Efilmcritic.com critters are usually short and snappy (and right).
To see him use up about five reviews worth of words in one go did my heart good.

Note: Steve Rhodes is another bad reviewer.
Seriously, I can get that you'd feel like you're missing something watching the movie, because obviously you don't have the whole backstory on these characters. You know what? I never did find out who Morpheus's parents were and what his first bike looked like. I know that characters in movies have backstory that we just aren't going to get in the movie. Why is it that reviewers all of a sudden make a fuss about it when they know that backstory exists somewhere else?
I think if some of these reviewers were never told about Firefly that they'd all of a sudden give Serenity a much better review. Whatever, the majority are on board. That's good enough for me.
