If you could have one of these characters come back to life who would it be and why? Wash or Book?

Wash. -hands down- I cannot stand to see Zoe without him. They were my couple...like Han and Leia were for 70's folk.
But that sure as hell was a reminder of what life is like sometimes....

people could always come looking for book and we can get his backstory that way.

He really killed them off and left pretty much zero chance of any miraculous resurrections ..

Book was left abandoned on a dead moon and Wash impaled by what had to be a nastier "rusty spike" than even the most reddest necked human could have dreamt up. I can't see any way of bringing either back ...

I doubt Zoe gets a child, but instead becomes colder and more Jayne-esque. Maybe Jayne finally gets a better offer and is replaced as the "killing machine" type character by a newer, more-violent Zoe. It does open the possibility for her and Mal to eventually get together later. That relationship does seem to have some potential and it'd just put an official label on the team they already have formed.

This one is actually very hard since they were my two favorite characters (WHY JOSS WHY!?) I remember watching the movie and *spolier* when Wash randomly got impailed with a huge spike all I could think was wow...I liked him a lot it figures the guys I like die...son of a- Anyway if pressed I think I'd want Wash back just 'cause I don't think another actor could pull off the Joss comedy with such timing like Alan Tudyk could. It wasn't just what Wash said that was funny it was the perfect delivery that he had, and this I don't think will be replicated with such perfection.

BELIEVE ME...Joss could figure out how to bring them back. Keep in mind that they were all buried together. One comes back, chances are all three will...would be a great trap for the remaining crew (three including Mr. Universe).

NO LOSS OF JAYNE! That would pretty much do the show in for me. :( And NO relationship between Mal and Zoe. This has already been established as absurdity in the series. We need to see resolution to the Mal/Inara relationship before we see anything else.

I do agree that Zoe will become darker...but I think the deaths were chocked up to several reasons:

1.) Ron Glass probably didn't want to do the show anymore...OR Book is coming back. Why? Too many unanswered questions. We do NOT have resolution. Hopefully we won't be robbed of knowing more of Book's past.

2.) Wash died so that River could take the wheel. Simple as that. Though I am disappointed that it had to break up one of the most realistic TV marriages of all time!

3.) It was the Big Damned Movie. If no one dies there is no threat to the crew. Makes it that much more real. Makes it larger than the regular series. I mean these guys went into a full scale war with the Reavers and the Alliance. You don't do that without loss.

Anyway, my two cents. What I do want to stress is that we don't lay ultimatums on Joss...not that he's the type to listen to them anyway. It's HIS story that we loved and we need to just stay along for the ride wherever it leads...unless he gets old and crusty like Lucas and incapable of telling a decent story anymore...then F HIM!

No offense.

I was verrrrry upset with losing Wash. But I am more interested in Books backstory. We are more inclined to hear that story if he's dead. So, I'll go Wash, because I think Zoe needs him. In a major way. I agree, she should not be preggers, it leads to uncreative wackiness and thats not the show we love. Mal or Jayne changing diapers? Funny, but not likley. We like random, unpredictable original wackiness.

Book, hands down. Probably my favorite character.

And he is pretty much the only one they "could" have brought back as he was left on the moon, assumed to be dead.

Who knows, maybe he had that ID-card in his pocket and the alliance just happend to check around what happend to their ship :)

On a more serious note; They are dead. Guess we just have to live with it.

Jayne: All those years of preacher training, getting knocked out by one bounty hunter
Book: Oh, dont get me wrong. I gave him a hell of a fight
Jayne: Epic i'm guessing

I agree with Girlaskew; I am more attached to Wash (and his humor, and his relationship w/Zoe) but I long to learn Book's backstory.

However I'm 100% sure that when a sequel is made we will have all 9 actors in the movie; probably Wash will only be in dream sequences, and Book in flashbacks...
but I am strongly hoping and wishing and praying for androids or clones (this IS sci-fi after all)

Oh, God. I would hate them coming back as androids/clones. I do hate that they died but they're gone and IMO nothing can bring them back. I think Wash's death was pointless and poorly timed. Book's death was heroic and had purpose as it had a big positive effect on Mal.

So, in short, I wish Wash didn't die but I don't want him comin' back.

Mal would kick Han Solo's ass.

Gotta go with Wash. Books a cool character but wash brings tons of more stuff to the table.
