I truly enjoyed the series... and would like to see another 10 or so seasons. I prefer the series method of telling this grand story much over the movie format. Fact is.... Most of us fell in love with the series and the characters as they develop during each successive show.
But - I have to ask...... was I the ONLY fan that was extremely ticked that Wash and Shep bite the dust?
These two characters brought so much dimension to the series. These are important characters that still have major character development capabilities. They contributed greatly to the well balanced character pallete - and WHY I loved season One. When season two is filmed (Positive thinker)- Josh - please write them back in somehow, someway!

They might do it before the movie for the second season. But I was mad and sad to see wash go like that. Lets just hope for the best.

I was disapointed that Book wasn't on Serenity, anyway. I hated it, but his death didn't really suprise me because of that (just depressing). But Wash! I couldn't believe it! I literally reacted like Zoe... Wash COULDN'T be dead! All six times I saw it at the theater, I left depressed. Delighted, but depressed.

Wash is my favorite and killing him off just plain made for a bad day. That being said if they ever start the series again there are many ways to bring back Wash. The simple way would just show us some adventures post series and pre movie. Was he an only child? Did he have a twin brother? Hell they could just ignore the fact that he was killed if they wanted to. It would be alright by me. I think killing off any of the crew was a bad Idea but it did make for a good movie.

As has been discussed elsewhere, there are still people who haven't seen the movie browsing these boards. Thread titles like this are unnecessary and are just going to end up annoying people.

Yeah guys, this is dangerous territory; a couple days ago I happened to post an idea for fanfiction writers about how to bring (SPOILER) back to life- clearly labeled as such too.
Several posters went berserk, calling me various smelly things in capitals and suggesting harikari...
one guy even claimed it ruined the movie he hadn't seen yet, which made no sense to me- if say mebbe Spock or Luke was gonna be killed off, you'd wanna see it more, not less. Go figure...
You have to wait until (SPOILER) has been on cable 10 times or so before you can talk about this...
and whatever you do don't mention (SPOILER)!
The more rational suggested editing the title, that might be a good idea, unless you know somebody in the Witless Protection Program.
anyway, I agree with you, and as you MUST be new here, welcome!:]

If (*ahem* When) there's another movie, Book and Wash will be in it - Joss has confirmed this.

Oh, stop acting so persecuted. Remember, people come to this board from all over the world, even places where the BDM hasn't been released yet. Useing thread titles like this is very inconsiderate to those who havn't HAD the chance to see the movie yet. Fell free to talk all about it in the body of a post, which a person can read or not if they like, but don't put it in the TITLE, which is posted for everone who visits the front page.

I don't really think there is, or should be, a time when "spoilers" should be discussed freely. People discover movies and television shows at different times in their life, and not everyone sees everything at the same time.
I, for one, am sick and tired of reading topics about Wash and Book and having everyone assume that I've seen all of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and therefore freely discuss major plot points from the show.
I think it is just courteous that, in a public forum, you err on the side of caution and refrain from mentioning major plot points without a specific warning of some sorts (à la *Serenity Spoilers!* or *Buffy Spoilers!* or *Welcome Back, Kotter Spoilers!*).

I agree with your second point no prob, altho it'd be nice if there was a '2nd level' forum for people who do want to talk about a drastic change in the ensemble.
On the 1st point, sorry... but that would apply equally to Romeo & Juliet- even now centuries later. They die (SPOILER). All of the centuries of discussion about one of the greatest dramas ever would have been hampered at the least.
R&J wasn't about plot, Firefly & Serenity weren't about plot- they had good ones, but the essential draw is Joss' characterizations. His players come truly 'alive', we really care what happens to them (so unusual in EFX driven SF) and that's what he has in common with Shakespeare.
imho, Joss has yet to do his best work. He actually could be our Shakespeare in jeans- he's that good. Look at how he wove lifelines together- when did you last see that in American film? mebbe the Godfather, sure not lately... but let's not ruin 'the plot' on that.
His time is now, and Hollywood needs to see him as more than another Ridley Scott or Kubrik. Discussing his work here in terms of merely money-making is doing him a dis-service. His next project will be crucual to his career.
And that is where insightful reviewing and analysis play their vital part; might even excite another Serenity film into existence. Hard to do without revealing (SPOILER).
