I hadn't seen the series yet when I saw the movie. As I've stated on this site before, I was an unfortunate and didn't know about the show when it was on. So, as someone stated before, I didn't have the emotional attachment to the character Wash. However I've seen Alan Tudyk in other things before, and he's always been a favorite of mine...so...very...funny!!

When that part came up, there was the chorus of GASPS that I heard (obviously from all the Browncoats in the audience), but I was the only one who yelled. I screamed, "NO!" and sounded much like Luke Skywalker did when he witnessed Darth Vader kill Obi Wan...you know, a short yet loud scream full with voice cracking.

Yeah, that was me.

i remember after the first screening in april, reading a spoiler online by accedent that wash and book were gonners, and for some reason i didnt let myself believe it and forgot about it. then i saw an advanced screenign three weeks before September 30th. I was clenched to my seat, shocked in disbelief, i remember jumping back into my seat (cuz i had been on the edge during the crash thinking "oh my poor ship!" and then bam. i just shook my head, i remember gasping out loud. all in all i was use to death cuz i'm a joss fan, so i dont know why i didnt expect one of my BDH's to die. honestly, i love book, but his death i was sad, but not too shocked. But I just remember being in such shock, and the teers were slowly falling down my face. but then, when they are regrouping and Kaylee says "Wait Wash. Where's Wash" that's when the waterworks happened. and i too thought that Joss was gonna kill everyone. oh, and then on opening weekend i saw it twice, and the shock was still there, still jumping and gasping and everything. i think that shows how good a movie it really is. cuz when your watching it, you just forget that you watched it before. it is such a great movie, and tomorrow cant get here soon enough! i cant wait to show it to my few friends who havent seen it yet!

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!

actually alex21, the preview screening i saw, had a bunch of people who had seen it in april, or they were not fans, jsut press, so the shock was not as loud, but it was so amazing the two times i saw it on opening weekend, cuz that's when the whole theater did either the "gasp" or "omg" or "wtf?!" or "no!" or "ah!" all at the same time! it is a feeling i will never forget!

I had seen the series, and was emotionally attached to all the characters ( especially Mal, I gotta admit it) but I wasn't prepared for any deaths! I wasn't a Joss fan before, I didn't know about his "sudden and innocent death" thing.

When Wash was killed I whispered with tears running down my face..."No, no no, it can't be..." ( this is what my Mom tells me.) I remember crying, but I don't remember saying anything.

Then I was afraid that everyone would die... I was scared witless for all of them.

The second time my Mom and I went, she kept muttering "I can't look, I can't look..." during that part. I was just struck dumb, even the second time, my heart was just broken.

The third time, I was captured by what the lady sitting in front of me to the right was doing... she was quietly sobbing on her husbands shoulder, it was so touching that I started crying. She was mourning Wash, like he was a member of her family.

I hadn't seen the Firefly series either, and since Serenity was the only good looking movie out, I chose it.

When Wash died, it was so sudden. I was like "OMG." in my head. What got me too, which was mentioned above, was when Kaylee asked where he was.

Then I bought the Firefly set, and knowing that Wash and Book were since deceased made it like watching one of those "captures," if you will. Like a photo album of all the happy, and not so happy, times. Then I felt like:

Drunks are so cute.

Well, I just kinda sat there. I loved Wash, so much. He was just such an awesome character, and when that happened, it felt like I just got kicked in the you-know-where. Complete with the sick feeling in my stomach that lasted for the rest of the film. I kinda wanted to cry, but I honestly couldn't get it out. I felt sick right to my stomach and just... angry.

And then everyone started dropping.
BAM Zoe
BAM Jayne
BAM Kaylee
BAM Simon
And I just started screaming "STOP IT, STOP IT, YOU'LL RUIN EVERYTHING! DAMN YOU, JOSS! DAAAAMN YOOU!!!!"

A state of shock for about 5-10 seconds, a glance over to my wide-eyed friend who was in a similar state, and then the thought started rushing through my head: Did that really just happen? I was mildly acceptant of Book's demise but at the point of Wash's death my mind started grinding its gears, looking for some sort of way in which they'd both end up alive at the end of the movie. Alas such thoughts became obviously too tacky to work: it was all a dream, clones, magical flying cows that grant you two wishes were among such aggrieved ponderings. Once these possibilities were expelled from my logical thoughts, the realisation that he was dead set in. Consequentially the rest of the movie was wonderful, and yet so very tainted by the stench of the beloved character's death.

I saw Serenity at a rough cut in February. Well before there was even hint that the ending might be contentious.

Book - not too surprised actually. He always had a feel of "dead meat" to him. But then the ship crash landed and... bam.

I felt like someone had struck me in the chest with a hammer. And then Zoe got sliced... and Jayne got hit... and then Kaylee... and BAM Simon was down... saying his goodbyes... and I was fixed in my seat thinking "Oh my god, he's going to kill everybody." I literally believed Joss was going to kill them all off.

Didn't see it coming. I would have put him about 8th or 9th in likelihood of dying in the movie. Just goes to show; with Joss, you never know.

That was beautiful.

My reaction was: "CRAP! I wish I hadn't clicked on that link!! AAARGH!!"

(I failed to notice a spoiler tag and had that particular moment ruined for me several weeks before the debut of the film)

I actually was more disappointed in Book's death. They went to all that trouble to give him a secret past, then kill him off.
