Uhm...they buried Spock! Cap't Sheridan was dead for days. Obi Wan was bisected by a light sabre and then disintigrated. Danial Jackson turned into Tinkerbelle and vanished. O.K., so no telephone pole-sized fleschettes, but seriously, no precident? Read the whole thread. I challenged you to name a science fiction series where they DIDN'T bring someone back from certain death!
And as for Joss saying "I'll never bring 'em back from the dead". I point you to the fourth Indiana Jones movie currently in production... Never believe "never" from the lips of anyone in Hollywood.

If you've never seen these things, then all you've ever seen is Serenity. Amazing things, those moving pictures, eh?
Yes. And those series all involved ressurrection of some form, aliens and supernatural powers to varying degrees. All things which Joss has sworn off from the 'verse. When we see Klingons and Jedi on Serenity, I might expect to see Wash back. Untill then...
And I don't see much connection with Indy 4 being made (which after 7 years of promises, I'll believe when I see) and a character coming back from the dead when all those actually involved with the making of the film say nope.

LOL! This is funny.
My heart will break again when the BDS comes out without Wash, but I'm sure it will happen for the reason I gave in my post above. PastorB mostly ignored it, although I think that this might be a passing reference to it:

B) Wash SHOULD stay dead. No matter how you allow him to survive, it will cheapen the franchise, and I’m the kind of person who worries about cheapening franchises, subtext and social relevance in movies.
It's not the franchise I'm worried about cheapening, and I didn't say anything about subtext or social relevance, so maybe PB really did just ignore me. That's okay. We all have our opinions on this, and until the Sequel comes out, that's all they are: opinions. Some of us just forgot that, I think.

btw, I didn't read it, wayyyyyy too long :D
WOW! Someone that either listens to my post or actually pays attention to what Joss has said. What a novel idea!
On a random rant: Why must you (GuywhowantsafireflymynameistoolongfortheloveofgodwhydidIchoosesomethingthislongofhisown) keep saying steering column...how about something intelligent!
Head's exploding...yes, I forsee that as well. And more: ObiWan doesn't technically return, its only a spirit form, his essence per se. You guys are talking about living flesh and blood and comparing that to a Jedi? In general, you're comparing FireFly to every other SciFi out there...hasn't it proven itself mutiple times as not being those SciFi's?
Okay, and because I still don't want to post all about it...again...many of you aren't looking at the big picture from a story standpoint. Wash being dead can be a good thing. If you want to learn more, either read 'Story" or ask me about why it does.

Well now, I ain't gonna weigh in one way or the other, I'm a gambler and I like to keep my options open till I can lay down the cash and make me a killin.... (hah..)
But I'll say this: Joss said he'd never bring anyone back from the dead. And he said that Wash was DEAD. D. E. A. D.
I dunno, I guess one half of me says "This statement is true. The previous statement is false." (Or whatever that retarded logic thing is). Maybe, just maybe, Joss just wanted people to lose hope, and then have their hope gloriously restored by his awesomeness in (if it ever happens..) a sequel.
I will say this though: This forum and the people here, are why there should be gorram laws about gorram executives cancelling our gorram shows. Cause seriously. I'ma march on up to these guys one day and shove my favourite piece up their keister 'till they sign the contract that brings back Firefly.
Video games and violent television shows don't make killers. CANCELLED TELEVISION SHOWS MAKE THEM.

You´re absolutely right Celendil, son of Telefax!
Wash has gone to the West. No. 1 of the Top 10 reasons why Wash might probably be dead, is that giant spikey thing i saw coming out of his chest (a sufficient explanation for me)!

Can't believe this thread is still kicking. This reminds me of Clan Denial - an online club/group of Highlander fans who were so tramatized by the death of a particular character that they refused to accept said death (and he had his head cut off, which is even slightly more thoroughly fatal than a telephone post through the heart - but only slightly), and pretty much ignore the storyline from that point on.

after reading the visual companion i can safely clear a few things up.
it's a reaver ship that disables serenity.
wash is dead. he got a bloody thelephone pole spike directly in the chest.
as for what the alliance were up to (not saving wash) i think they where busy having some sort of space battle.
