Wash on the other hand... heartbroken to see him die...
Like so many others here, I agree with you 100% - those little moments are what made us fall in love with these people and want to spend time with them, and it's those moments that make us miss them now - as well as the great story, fantastic acting and scripting, and the fresh feel of the 'verse!
I too share your Wash pain. It made the ending of the film so much more effective, but it hurt like hell, and still does....
- Shiny. Let's be bad guys.
That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die

Oh, btw, the man's name is Joss, not Josh.
One day.
One mission.
One army of Browncoats.

Then see Slither for a dose of the Captain and the Sherrif from the Train Job!
Nathan doesn't know it yet, but I am his one true love! Is that weird?
(he will believe, he will believe)
I'm sure you all know this, but Nathan played the "other" Private Ryan in "Saving Private Ryan". He looks so young in that flick...

Oh well.
I still would go live on the ship in a heartbeat, TallGuyMe! I'd love to go out into the black on that shiny ship with Mal and the crew.
I've never felt like that about a show before. And never will again, I'd wager.
Welcome home, TallGuyMe... it's a double edged sword, this wonderful 'verse. We have the show and we cope with the loss of the show. But being here is a help, I hope for you as much as it's been for me. These folks here help me cope til I get Mal back.
I hand out browncoats to new folks.. granted they're only virtual browncoats, but I hope you'll be as proud to wear yours as I am to wear mine.
*hands TallGuyMe a browncoat and gear*
There ought to be some folks who will come along and offer you some food, FloralBunny gets the best strawberries.. mmmmm.
The only way I know to really get our beloved crew back is to convert folks and those folks will love our crew as much as us, then maybe there will be a sequel, so let all those you care about know about Firefly. Cuz I want more, and I know you do to.
Talk often, we love to yack.
See you on the board.
One day.
One mission.

Thanks for the coat Followmal... whaddyaknow, it fits... all 6'7".

Reading the comics will definitely satisfy some of your Firefly hunger. Also, there are going to be more comics coming from Dark Horse in the future (ie- later THIS YEAR) and will be once again be written by Joss Whedon and Brett Matthews (he wrote "Heart of Gold" and co-wrote the 3 issue mini-series), and there are probably going to be two more Firefly novels.
Also, check out the two podcasts called Firefly Talk and the other one called The Signal.
Finally, there's also an unfilmed Firefly script on this website that would have been the 15th episode.
For the script go here: http://www.fireflyfans.net/feature.asp?f=45
"I aim to misbehave."
"Can't do something smart, do something right".
HOMER: "Oh Lisa, you and your stories; Bart is a vampire, beer kills brain cells. Now lets go back to that... building thingy... where our beds and T.V.... is".

Heya Tallguyme,
As suggested by 20THCENTFOXHATER, read the "lost
script", and if you haven't yet seen the R. Tam
Sessions, you're in for a treat.

But you'll still be sad. :-(
But you're not alone...

If want to vent your frustration, join our efforts for June 23rd, Serenity day. It's all over the board. It helps, in more ways than one. 
One day.

EXCUSE ME! Serenity is not a "broken down junkheap". Because, well because she's not.

Welcome TALLGUYME,
We feel your pain and share it. But what better way to feel sad that with a bunch of sad buddies.
Glad to have you aboard and we're in the process of trying to get a new tv series or movie deal so we can all get SHINY and happy again.
