Wash was funnier and I for one was more keen to sleep with him than Book.

Sounds to me like a lot of folks are upset with the decision to kill two major characters in the Serenity film...
What did you want to see?
A film calls for something extradordinary. Something above and beyond what we've seen on the small screen.
Which of the nine tremendous characters that Whedon created would it have been OKAY to kill? And isn't it a bit more real that Wash DIDN'T go down in a "blaze of glory"?
One thing I really enjoy about Firefly is that the characters are likeable...the situations seem believable.
ALSO, I think NOT killing the operative leaves things wide open for a sequel OR perhaps the beginning of a new series.
I had heard the main thing that killed the TV series was poor placement. Can't remember what it was opposite of, but I've also heard the DVD sales have been phenomenal.
I wasn't a big Joss Whedon fan until he took on Astonishing X-Men...Not a big Buffy/Angel freak. From AX I jumped on-board the Firefly bandwagon and SINCERELY hope that Whedon and Minear can get something done to get the show back on the air!!!

Honestly my sorrow is equal for both the loss of Book and Wash. I think wash probably does have a bigger fan base and I completely understand. I feel that Books character is concluded though because I am convinced he was an operative. The more I think about it the more it makes sense.There are also alot of hints in the show that this was his previous occupation.I think there has been more talk of Wash's death because no one really saw it coming. I certainly didnt.

Muahahahaha!
In fact, I'm going to open a new post on this.
I thought the same thing. I have a feeling that, in whatever realm this series continues (feature film or TV, hopefully something!), that the operative will become a new crew member to replace Book. Book, in my opinion, was a bounty hunter!
