MAJOR SPOILER!!!!!

Don't read if you haven't seen the movie :)

Completely silly, but it is Friday, my oldest at at the movies, my husband is working, and my youngest is watching cartoons. ...AND...I am bored out of my skull.

So, lets pretend you have a couple of extra million laying around and are able to fund Serenity 2. Everyone is on board, but you have a condition before you whip out the check book. Wash has to come back. Joss tells you "OK Mr. Smarty Pants. You tell me how!"

Use your imagination and resurrect Wash. Can be funny, smart, stupid, whatever. Keep in mind that anyone lame enough to suggest a long lost twin will be tied to a chair and forced to listen to Vogon poetry for 5 days.

GO!

Since it was my idea, I think it only fair I start.

Wash was not in the cheesy holographic tomb at the end. He had been placed in cold storage while Serenity was being rebuilt. His body, in popsicle form, is sent off to the alliance, who is working on a way to download memories directly from the human brain, even if you are dead. They accidentally bring him back to life during their evil experiements.

He is reprogrammed to find the Serenity crew and kill them, though he is unaware of his new purpose. He eventually hooks up with the crew with no memory of what happened after his "death". They are happy to see he is alive, but Mal & Zoe remain suspicious. A signal is sent to Serenity, which is in fact a trigger code for Wash to off everyone while they are in space. He goes after Zoe first, but is distracted when Zoe dangles a plastic dinosaur in front of him. Staring at the dinosaur helps him remember what happened and fight his Alliance programing. Then they all live happily, but financially challenged, ever after.

Wash passed his katra onto River before he died and River must pass it onto a clone of Wash.

I hate to say this, but I think Wash is gone for good (although that's a mighty fine idea you had there, and almost practical even). The problem with a resurrection of Wash is that it diminishes the significance of his death. I'll admit, at first I was pretty upset about it; I thought it was purely for shock and it just about ruined the rest of the movie for me. Thankfully, the thrilling heroics of the conclusion kept me in keel, and afterwards I realized that Wash's death is a symbol of the innocent being ravaged by blind hatred. Pardon my philosophicality, but Wash was meant to be a martyr, in a way. Now, I would rather he never died at all (for the sociality aboard the ship alone; it just won't be the same, EVER), but he did die... and that's just too bad, I guess. Now...

If you can't have Wash back, how about just bringing Alan back? Picture this: Zoe, after many failed talks about starting a family, finally gets what she wants (though she doesn't know it at the time of the movie). Later on, of course, she realizes there's a bun in her oven, which would be prime opportunity for a series of flashbacks including our dear old Wash. On second thought...

Why did Wash have to die?!?! Gorram it, Joss! Now you got me all upset again.

I aim to misbehave.

They Freeze washes body take off too find some million Dallar meat. They find someone but blast him instead and grab the oragans and get the doc to put them back into wash. All he really needed was a new heart and lungs.

I kind of liked this one posed by the OPERATIVE in another thread; I just cut and pasted it here.

Posted by the OPERATIVE:

Hello Browncoat Sympatizers,

Of course I cannot use a name because I do not exist. I am another operative of the Parliament, yet one who is not unsympathetic to your cause. I have been working my contacts to find out what happened in the recent skirmish prior to the now infamous broadcast of the Alliance's secret about Miranda. The following account covers what was happening around the ship Serenity while its crew battled the reavers inside.
After the crew hastily fled the reavers into the building to complete their mission, the reavers followed them inside without even entering Serenity or leaving any guards. The Alliance ship followed them in hot on their heels, but decided to wait outside as per orders from the operative.
Once they established control outside the building, they went into Serenity to see if anyone was there and found the pilot staked through the seat with a big wooden bolt. He had regained consciousness again but was in very serious condition. The large bolt had crashed through a lung and destroyed it and the hydrostatic shock that had knocked him unconscious had nearly killed him.
The captain of the Alliance destroyer had him cryo'ed to take back to a core world hospital for repairs so he could be used for questioning. When the operative's behavior started becoming dubious, the captain decided to not bother mentioning his prisoner.
As it turns out, the captain was not exactly the career Alliance servant he appeared. He was in the secret employ of Blue Sun, who want to get their hands on River Tam even more than Parliament does. He was there to watch the operative and get River from him if he could. As the operative commanded all the Alliance forces on the scene, the captain found himself unable to gather River in, but he was able to keep his prisoner a secret.
After the crew emerged from the building, they and the operative assumed that reavers had taken the pilot's body. The captain had by that time withdrawn his crewmen as the admiral's marines secured the scene. As of this writing no one outside of Blue Sun is aware of their possession of Hoban Washburn. The Alliance captain and his ship and crew were mysteriously reported missing and are presumed also to be reaver victims.
I was able to find out that Washburn recovered fully from his injuries and is now healthy enough to be questioned by Blue Sun. From what I've heard of their information gathering techniques, I would suggest that someone mount a rescue operation soon. It is said that no one keeps secrets from Blue Sun.
My motives for revealing this are not any great sympathy for the Browncoat cause. I am loyal to the Alliance. My charge is to investigate the extent to which Blue Sun has infiltrated our ranks and what their agenda might be. River Tam is of little use to us now, but one of those members of Parliament whose minds she was exposed to was a top Blue Sun plant. She may hold within her damaged mind more than Parliament's secrets. I need to know why Blue Sun wants her even worse than we do, and who else in the Alliance's highest ranks is in their pockets.

The human brain is basically a hard drive. It can be modified, copied, and erased. It does not need to be in a living host to be read.It is simple manner for a for Wash's psyche to have been downloaded into what would almost have to be a clone of him.

I just realized this is exactly what happened to Duncan Idaho in the Dune .

Wash wasn't really alive in the first place. He is a more advanced male version of Mr. Universe's sexbot. Nobody had the heart to tell Zoe she was married to a machine, so they made it look like he "died".

His parts are now in Kaylee's cabin, where she is rebuilding him to see if he would really "taker her in a manly fashion" because "she is pretty."

Zoe is pregnant by Wash. She has the child, but is kidnapped and taken to another dimension. It later returns, only to be fully grown and look just like Wash!

Mmm maybe I got my 'verses mixed up.
