Joss" I don't deal with lose well."
Myself, I have taken a gander at all the bonus material and can tell that Joss is a very creative and talented writer. Even with all the speculation here I'm sure if his idea is to bring Wash back, he is clever enough to do it with a exciting new twist. With a new series Wash could return, maybe not in the first couple of shows but after that who knows.
"Wash is dead. Get over it" That may very well be but in todays age writers almost never close the door on a character completly. They can be resurrected many times. How about our Mrs. Reynolds? Last time I seen her(as JWS) she was bottled up in a trash container. Is she gone too?
Somewhere in the the bonus footage joss talks about telling Alan of his demize in the movie "He took it well". If my company folded I could deal with that. Maybe this is how Alan felt. But if the show came back along with promise of a steady paycheck he might do a little more kicking and screaming to return to his pilots chair. After all whose going to inject those "one line" zingers ie. " Besides Jayne, no one else is saying that." and also keep the dust off of those toy dinosaurs?
Just some thoughts, Z
"What I don't get is why you all assume he simply can't be Wash...Who says any new Firefly projects have to be after Serenity? Firefly is a series, Serenity is a movie, I think it'd make far more sense if any new episodes continued from the series and not from the movie"
Greatblackthorn, that is an option, but a sad one knowing how Wash gets it in the Serenity movie.I can't help but thinking if they brought him back by just turning back time I may laugh my head off at every punchline he delivers just because I know he gets scewered in the end.

1. Turns out Zoe is pregnant.
2. Zoe's baby turns out to have Wash's face.
3. I mean literally Wash's face. (ewww)
Okay, forget it. Terrible idea.

The "poem" is actually a song called "I'm Gonna See Serenity," and you can find it by checking my Annoyingly Long List of Links. It's a great song. And no, I didn't write it.

How 'bout Zoe having a dream about him? Or watching a video with him in it? Maybe a video will or last letter that he left for her? Or, Zoe or River continually imagine him being there and talking to them, a la Six on Battlestar Galactica.

Hmmm, those are interesting speculations and very valid points. I can definitely see things going in any particular direction, and would like to see the actor/character come back sometimes. Through this thread I've found that I'm more biased towards the actor than the character of Wash, so for me, any Firefly based feature with Alan in it is a plus in my book.
Thanks fellow browncoats, free drinks on the sarge! (just kiddin)

More cliche ways to bring back Wash/Book:
1) You can always "Higher Being" someone back to life -- You can never count someone out of stargate or startrek, because even though they may be dead as a doornail, they're frequently resurrected by an "ascended being" or whatever. BIG CLICHE. (This would be tough, since Joss thankfully never introduced a "godlike" Q-type character)
2) Exposure to unknown substance/environment X -- Here's a more feasible one. Since Serenity went to the secret infected world, they were exposed to "substance x". The properties of "substance x" could be used for any number of cliches... First one that pops into my head, Wash turns out to be part of that tiny percentage that turns reaver and the side effects of turning make him strong enough to survive. "Substance X" could be used to resurrect/plague any member. Get creative. Wash as reaver vs. Zoe? Classic zombie movie dilemma. Just coming up with cliches.
3)Computer Replication of Identity - Won't go too far with this one since Firefly doesn't indulge itself in "Holodecks". However, you can copy a personality into a computer. This is very cliche. You can also holo-project them like in Voyager. Finally there's the "ghost in the machine" aspect. You could have Wash be dead, but somehow bonded into the computer that he rode so gracefully like a "leaf on the wind". Maybe Kaylee will be confused when her systems start to develop a mind of their own. Another cliche.
4)You can always "Obi-Wan" Book. - He's the religous character. It makes sense. However I really like what someone said earlier about Book being an old operative, and faking his own death through cunning. That would be better.
5)Aliens - Im not going here, because Joss has kept aliens out of the mix. But it's always a good cliche.
