So I wonder if Joss's plan is (or was) to kill off all or most of our Serenity BDH's over time. Consider his revelation "there will be more sweet character deaths...er developments" in the next darkhorse comic series.
I wouldn't put it past him planning to emotionaly bleed us flans to death over the course of a trilogy. Heck, seeing where we are now, he might be planning to get it all over with in the upcoming Firefly paperback he's releasing in Feb '06.
-I'm not partial to folks who kill me-

I think there's only one answer.
Jayne, go get Vera. We gotta put Joss right about a few things...

Bitter much?

While I didn't exactly care for how everything played out in Serenity, I didn't hate it, or Joss. It's when I take into consideration of his past works ( Buffy, Angel ) that I get most annoyed. I'd think more of Joss (yeah,like he realy cares ) if he stayed his lust for killing off of main characters, from here on out, for us Firefly fans. I GET it that Joss is all consumed w/ death ( of Buffy, Buffy again, Doyle,Fred,Angel(the series) Firefly,(the series), etc... ) and all, but at some point, the fans (I think) deserve some illusion of perminance. Otherwise, everything he does will become just one big joke.... " Gee, why get invested w/ character A or B , when we know one (or both) will end up dying a horrible death and leave yet another void in the story? "
Spare me the ' Oh, it's just how Joss is..', or ' He writes about real life...' blah blah blah. I know, I GET it. But must he be so damned predictable ?
I'd feel better if we could at least get tired of some characters BEFORE they die off, is all I'm saying. Not have all of them croak before we ever got to know them in the 1st place.
" They don't like it when you shoot at 'em. I worked that out myself. "

Aren't we overreacting a bit here? 2!
And if he does do something big like that, I want him to do it on film, with the actors, dont you agree?
ah, well, whatever Joss does I have faith in him.

I have faith in Joss. And I loved Serenity.
Honestly, for the type of film Serenity was, someone needed to die, someone we liked from the get-go. And we needed a 'lamb to the slaughter', and he gave us that.
Don't mean we have to like it all that much. :D

My post may have sounded bitter (lol 
), but I'm not bitter at all. I didn't mind the deaths in Serenity a bit. I'm a sadistic button pusher just like Joss.
I was just curious to know if Joss, feeling like the movies were going to be the 'be-all/end-all' future of the Firefly verse...if he didn't think killing-off everybody would give him the narrative finality he's known for. I know given the proper opportunity, that gorram overgrown elf would kill Mal off in a winking heartbeat.
No one is going to get left...

Mal already died once, possibly twice.
Fingers crossed that it earned him a breather.
oo, interesting snippetty-bit - Empire magazine just voted Mal the 'most interesting character' 2005. Awaiting results for Cosmo's 'rear of the year'

personally I expect to see all 9 of our BDHs in the eventual sequel...
even though a couple of them may only be in flash backs or dream sequences
(I've got my fingers crossed for clones and/or androids however...)

I went into the movie knowing someone was going to bite it...considering Joss's history I wasn't surprised when we lost 2! Doesn't make me less mad! lol. But as for killing everyone off, no I think Joss wouldn't go that far you know. Maybe one or two more...which is still a bit much in my opinion.
I have to agree that joss is predictable in the killing department. he needs to reign it in or people WILL not take the time to invest in his future characters..
Then again, our Firefly crew live a dangerous life. Here's hopin only 1 more at the most gets it. Otherwise where is your story...and you REALLY don't want to bring in new crew and characters. Wouldn't be the same.
