When Serenity 2 gets made who is the next character to be killed?

Won't Joss want to kill off one of them?

Well, I wouldn't say that he HAS to kill of any more of our crew, but Joss being Joss, he certainly wouldn't flinch or hold back if he felt it was necessary. Look at his other shows [SPOILER ALERT!!] - He killed off Buffy. Twice. Of course, he brought her back twice, too. He killed Angel, but only when he was on Buffy, not when he was later the star of his own show (after having been brought back to life - or undeadness - of course). Even then, though, he did manage to kill off nearly every single other main character on the show: Wesley, Fred, Cordelia, Doyle, Darla, Leslie, Lilah, etc. And he killed a whole mess of core characters in Buffy: Joyce, Drusilla, Faith (comatose, not quite dead yet), Anya, Tara, Jenny Calendar. So he's definitely not a wimp when it comes to killing off key characters to drive the story forward.

Still, on "Buffy" he managed to keep the "core" Scooby gang alive and intact, if not exactly "well". Buffy, Giles, Willow, and Xander all survived the series from beginning to end. On "Angel" it was a different story, though: of the original Angel Team, only Angel survived to the bitter end.

So who's he going to kill off from our beloved ship's crew next? I can't say, but it will be a hell of a ride. And a hell of a shock, too. I wouldn't put off filling out those organ donor cards if I were shipping out on Serenity...

Um he killed off Darla on both Buffy and Angel thank you very much

Yeah he had a good run of killings going on. Though I'm not so sure Serenity 2 would be so bad. The problem with killing them off on a movie is he can't bring about new cast members to fill the voids as easily. People don't fall in love with new characters in two hours. Joss used to work them in over time. In the movie format he'd have to shove a new character down our throat and then kill em all in the same 2 hours. That's not nearly as heart wrenching.

Now if we get a Season 2 then all bets are off.

Though didn't I hear Joss wanted to kill everybody off before he got done with the 'verse. Or was that Tim?

Yes Mike, he did kill off many characters. I think in Serenity 2 Joss might kill River or Simon.

I wouldn't like to see River die (I think I would die) but he might trade River's life for Mal's. And then Simon goes on to become an evil doctor and in S3 he is trying to kill Mal.

I don;t think he'll kill any more off, he doesn't need to, we know how bad it can get.

Of course what I think it not what matters here.

-

The last episode of Angel had a great line:
"I'm feeling grief. I wish to do more violence."
Or something like that. Joss should remember how many people want him dead. If he dies the whole crew goes with him. Characters are frail in that way.

Well, if Serenity 2 gets made at all (not getting hopes up, I'm afraid), I'll be first in line for a ticket, but...if he kills Kaylee off, I'm walkin' right out.

ARRRRRRGGGHHH! How could I have forgotten that?! Now I have to go and rewatch Buffy again. Not like I really need an excuse, but it's nice to have one anyway. :)

I just *might* have too much time on my hands. Or not enough good TV. I can't decide.

If Kaylee get killed I would really be depressed. It would hurt too much not seeing those girls Serenity. I think that one of the guys would then have to go.

Hi,

I'm new but I thought I'd pipe in, love the show, the crew, and this community of fans.

**spoilers**

I would put Inara and Zoe on the endangered list. As well as anyone that Mal brings on to replace Wash/Zoe.

Here's my thought if there's a second season or more. Inara and Mal get together. Then Inara reveals that she's suffering from some deadly longterm illness. Shortly after this she'll pry be held hostage and/or killed off quicker, because long term illnesses are bummers once revealed and I think it would make for dull/sad death. I could see the crew launching a full out assault to get her back only to end in failure. It's sad but it's what I'd do if I was Joss. It would take a season or two to flesh out though.

I think Zoe will be killed off as an act of sacrifice for the crew. After the loss of Wash I think in the back of her mind she wants to go out like that. That is something that would happen within one or two seasons.

Jayne always seems to walk around with a big target on his chest....

But, I couldn't bear to see another one go. Maybe after this dicussion we could talk about who we'd like to see added! The mind reels with the possibilities.
