None.

Ok, well…

I feel I would have a different choice depending on if the TV series continued or the next installment was a sequel. If it were a sequel I would prefer to keep it like it happened.
Wash and Book.

Will Zoe crack?

Book can still be developed in the form of his reputation from his past and possible introductions of Book’s old cronies.

If it were a series, it would still be Wash

But I would switch Book with River…

Wha? Wait a minute!

Whew! Anyway…

This would be even more unexpected than Wash or Book. I was blown away by those two getting killed. But one of the many great parts of the series was there was a mystery behind River. And I love(d) her antics. In a new series would she be a “Killer-Woman” in every situation…. Or would she save the day in the last minute on all their future jobs.
We all know the crew members are not normal, but they have that “everyday people” kinda feel. If it were a series I would like the scale of the show to remain the about the same.

Think of the character development that would ensue if all of them felt like something special had been taken from them. By the Alliance? By the Reavers who were created by the Alliance.

I know it ain’t gonna happen. But I love the improbable….

If it were a movie, let the scale explode. make River blow it up!

fascinating crappy question! made me squirm!

1. zoe: she doesn't really have a role on the ship except yes man and history marker. she would have done the same as book's death to mal- crisis of faith. the fact joss took wash instead of zoe makes me very worried about the preggo line of thought. i don't really see the bizarre love triangle tho.

2. kaylee: she didn't have the stories to tell that book did. she is an innocent who's never really fit with the crew. they need her to balance them, but with river's new coherency, she could've taken on that role.

and for the theme of the thread, take a look at this (it's not mine):

Well, I don't think that Kaylee would die. Joss has said that she's kind of his voice, the voice of innocence in the 'verse. I think she's kind of his mouthpiece when he needs one. As such, I imagine she's largely bulletproof (Dobson notwithstanding.)

As for my personal choices, I think that the deaths as presented give the most story potential. Zoe didn't really have much by way of character, and now, suddenly, there's some real meat to be had with her arc. As for Book, well, I sincerely doubt that we won't see him again, at least as some sort of hologram recording. No way we've seen the last of the Shepherd.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, Fox!

Thanks! Didn't cross my mind that some people haven't seen the best movie in the world YET.

River and Jayne.

It's not the actors - Summer's smile when she says "That's the popular theory." in Objects is one of my very most favorite moments, and there's no disputing the Adam.

No River however, means my suspension of disbelief isn't batterd with super-powered superheroes. As for Jayne, he sold out River to the people who tortured her, for, years - what is he still doing on the ship?

The 2 characters I wanted to be killed off least was Wash and Kaylee, tho I can understand why Wash was spiked - you're not sure who's gonna be offed next if Joss is not afraid to take out Wash, and that upped the tension for the movie. These 2 are the anti-superheroes - not people who make history doing the impossible. I wanted to see their stories.

I have no problems with Joss' writing of 'Serenity'
it was painful and intense, but I hung on every word

I thought this thread was about the sequel...
now in the sequel I expect Inara & Mal to hook up and then Inara will die a painful horrible death in Mal's arms....

But I'm not sure who'll die in some random killing to make us all scream and tear our hair because we didn't see it coming....

of course I expect Book to be back in a flashback or two during the sequel.
And Wash will be back in Zoe's dreams, making her nuts.

I agree that the sequel should show ud Inara and Mal getting together and I can see Joss killing her shortly after that too. I think you're right that we will see more of Book in flashbacks or holograms even, but I'm not sure we will see very much of Wash at all. Just a feeling, I guess.
