I think am going to have one of those "In Loving Memory Of" decals put on my car in Wash's honor.

Would anyone care to share a favorite memory or story about their time with Wash? Please feel free to step up to the pulpit and tell us all.

I loved the post-lovemaking scene in OIS. "Here lies Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now that she's all corpsified and gross..."

I cannot believe how upset I am about a freakin' fictional character! I need help.

Oh, and any Shepherd Book memorials can be said here as well.

I'm going to add cursing and the hurling about of things to my repertoire.

I only accepted his death during the funeral scene, but beforehand I was imagining Wash somehow saving everyone with a completly broken Serenity. Yes delusional, I know.

But really, that ruined the movie for me the first time, but I have learned to accept it, and go through the 12 steps of grievance, or whatever.

Did anyone else hope that Zoe would give this speech during the funeral

ZOE: Here lies my beloved Wash, a lot more gross now since he's all corpsified and gross.

Everyone looks at her in disbelief.

Zoe: What? It's what he would have wanted.

Everyone gives a nod of agreeance.

How true, how true.

I'd also like to think that Badger, YoSaffBrig, Monty, and maybe even Niska would stop by to offer their condolences as well.

While the funeral word of "considerably more gross" would have been funny, I think it would have also been a bit out of tone for that scene. Maybe if it was a new character or something but for Wash, he's been with the crew too long. Also wasn't Badger killed? The Alliance killed Fanty and Mingo and all employers or people who had sheltered Serenity. Wasn't that Badger's face on one of the vids?

TheRealMe gives the grieving Mal-licious a comforting hug, gives her a drink with a little umbrella, gently puts her in her hammock, and rocks her until she is feeling better.

At dinner after the movie, me and my friends proposed a toast to Book and Wash.

Book was my favorite, and one of my friends, her favorite wavered between Book and Zoe. That she was so fond of Zoe made it just as hard, since Wash was the only one who managed to really get her to open up and show a more human, more emotional side. Now that he's gone, she'll likely revert back to emotionless... only way to deal with that kind of loss for her. KF

ZOE: Preacher, don’t the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing?
BOOK: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps...

I had the demented urge to add Hoban Washburne and Shepherd Book to the "prayers for the dead" list , at church the Sunday after I saw the film...

I did it mentally, anyway.

Joss posted this on the OB

Post subject: Worst. Movie. Ever.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

was probably "Summer Holiday" with Mickey Rooney. Can you believe that kid was the biggest star in the world? Funny world.

Meanwhile, I'm just rounding out the weekend with a little praise for my dear peeps. Considering everything we've had to overcome, this is an extraordinary achievment. And you guys have been in the front lines. I lurk, I know all. So thanks. Some of you might know that this flick means more than a little to me.

Yes, the second weekend will tell all, as we've always known. I'm not here to push you guys -- you push yourselves way harder than I could anyway. I'm just trying to figure out how to get the message out to the guys that aren't you, that don't know any of you, and that don't run into someone who saw the film. I'll be hounding the extremely patient Uni execs on that very subject. Like the lady said, "People have to know".

It's not that there HAS to be a sequel. It's just that I've got so many IDEAS...

the only reason i knew about firefly was i loved buffy and the reason i loved it was Wash so that really hit me, i also couldnt stop hopeing some how he really didnt die, and i only accepted after the funeral i think i might of cried at that point. but even then i was still delusional for days i hoped that, hey they brought buffy back and spike and, heck no one stayed dead for long on joss's other shows. but now i know that this is different this is much better and more real then Buffy ever could be so now to all the people here i finally admit it...he is dead.
Farewell beloved Wash i will miss you (my family thinks i am crazy at this point mourning so much for a fictional charector but... it is so sad)also
to Shepard Book i will miss you i am more then a little ticked about the death of the only christian on the show.
....that would have been great to put that quote in at washes funeral
