I hate to say it but your point is floored is O so many ways the fact they had Mr universe’s body and Shepard books (If you must know it was on the front of the ship) and the graves were all the same, and the way the feds work they wanted to kill the Tams so more of a shoot first and ask questions later

I got words, I'm sayin', I don't know if you're serious or not, but to base that Shepard Book's corpse is front center on the nose of Serenity due to an "out-take" is fallacious. I think. But I do know that Mal doesn't in fact say to put Book front and center in the actual film, and therefor I doubt that they would desecrate his body in such fashion. Zoe was already horrified enough at the thought of desecrating Serenity, so I doubt even the captain could have made her do it. I also doubt that he would have shot her in that situation. Jayne maybe, but not Zoe. My $.02.
If anyone gets nosy...Shoot em.
Shoot em sir?
Politely.

Yes, it's tragic. You're in complete denial that nobody ever dies in science fiction, Ripley.
(Not as tragic as yer' space dementia, truth be told, but tragic nontheless.)

That might have been the Alliance "to do" list but once the Reaver arrived thru the ion cloud the top priority of getting the Tam's droped to #3. As I quote the Operative when the Reavers arrive "target the Reavers, target the Reavers! Target everyone. Somebody fire!" So survival became the number one priority for the Alliance at that time.
As for the ship that EMP'ed Serenity. It's a Reaver ship that used the EMP. I'm 100% sure because I took Serenity to work, watched, and paused it to confirm Reaver ship.
On DVD Chapter 15 1 hour 27 minutes 25 seconds: ship is shown on Serenity's tail. Pausing the DVD shows the ship has red colored markings on right wing.
On DVD Chapter 15 1 hour 27 minutes 33 seconds: Shows ship firing the EMP cannon. Again red colored marking on EMP cannon, right wing, and some other turrent mounted on ship
On DVD Chapter 15 1 hour 27 minutes 41-42 seconds: Again can see red colored markings on the ship.
It's clearly a Reaver piloted ship.
The Reavers landed first and the Alliance followed after they had taken care of the Reavers in space and reorganizing the "to do" list with the Tam's back at #1.
You may be right about shifting priorities, depending on the dedication of the individual Fed, but
POINT MISSED
Don't matter tweren't a reaver ship tagged Serenity. Even stipulatin' to that and t'other, still waaay too much time betwixt reavers and Alliance gettin' to Serenity.
You could reach a little and say those Fed's what landed were all that's left, and the reavers likewise. But why reach so hard for an explanation for why Wash's dead, when the other is more likely?
Don't cut yerself on that there Occam's razor, partner.

No problem, Guywhowantsafireflyofhisown. Givin' hope's my day job. (Nice that it lets me surf on weekdays, though.)
As for the fuzzy wuzzies, I'll stick with the shepherd's answer: "Oh, I got myself heathens aplenty, right here."

He's gotta live, he's just gotta.
Nice work. I think you should give it to Joss Whedon for an idea.
Hahaha! Mine is an evil laugh... Now die!

Sorry, but The 'Verse is not the Buffyverse. River's psychic abilities aside, the 'Verse does not work by magic. And while the 'Verse's medical technology is admittedly far advanced over our own, the suggested combination of circumstances necessary to preserve Wash's life are so contrived as to require the use of an Infinite Improbability Drive.
I'm beginning to think that if Joss had shown us Wash being dismembered and eaten by Reavers, some folk would still be trying to think of a way to bring him back.
Sorry people. Rhett ain't comin' back to Scarlett, Ilsa ain't getting off that plane and staying with Rick, and Bambi's mother ain't stumbling out of the forrest going "It was just a flesh wound!"

Another thought; more than one person here has mentioned "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock" as an example of what to detest/avoid. And I always thought it was a gigantic cheat myself. But...
The writers of that movie at least understood that you can't bring back the dead without proper sacrifice. Spock was revived, but the Enterprise, that wonderful, beautiful ship of dreams, was gone.
At the end of the fourth film they slapped the name on a new ship, and tried to pretend things would be the same. It would have been a great moment to end the series on. Instead they made "Star Trek V", which sucked, "Star Trek VI" which, if it didn't suck, at least inhaled very deeply, and "Star Trek Generations", which ended the participation of the original crew. By that point it was a mercy killing.
Ask yourself this. Would you want Wash to come back if it meant losing Serenity, either the ship or the series?
