Book and Wash "left"!

I started to think about what Joss would do if another series was created without them. It just wouldn't seem right.

I don't know why but after Serenity landed impossibly even with wash at the controls I just knew somthing random and painfull was going to happen,

I can't believe anyone hasn't mentioned jaynestown, "Jaynes a hero! since when!, how?, what?, is this the same Jayne?!!"

I started to think about what Joss would do if another series was created without them. It just wouldn't seem right.

I wasn't so much expecting Book to die, but in movies that are classified in that genre, I would expect someone to die...and of everyone, I thought it would be him (as much as I didn't want that).

Now Wash, that was completely out of left field! I just didn't expect that one at all.

As for other ones that stuck out...

Of course the look into River's past stuck out. I was so not expecting her to stab Jayne.

I always wondered why Niska wasn't broached after War Stories. I mean he doesn't strike me as the kind of man to give up so esaily, even mroe so over the fact that they managed to save Mal. I guess it would have been something that they would have apprached had the show not been canceled.

In Shindig, I never pictured Mal being challenged to a duel. I mean he was protecting Inara's honor and all, but for me, it seemed to come out of no where. There were some moments between the couple (I'm not an avid fan so I didn't see it like others), but to me that was a question mark.

Okay, so they aren't 'twists' so much as questions, but they still raised the 'hmmm' out of me.

Don't think it's been said yet...But one thing that made my jaw drop was in Shindig when River starts "reading" Badger and adopts his accent--I was just as shocked as the crew!

And Jaynestown, oh boy, heh! Nothing's better than seeing it for the first time, seeing the Jayne statue and going, "Huh??". Laughed so hard

One day.
One mission.
One army of Browncoats.

Starting June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

Without doubt, the first, the original and the best!

What plot twists in the episodes and movies really made you stop, sit up, and reevaluate the entire story?

Simon springing River from the Academy
Serenity having a much larger mule that expends fuel to keep it off the ground, rather than tires
Simon ignoring Jayne, who has been harpooned, to comfort River, who swallowed a bug

...skipping ahead...

Buffy, ooops River, busting up a bar with ballet
Book dying talking to Mal, rather than Jayne
Big Space Battle
Serenity banking through turns in the BSB (more a thematic point than a plot point, but the theme is Star Wars)
Buffy wiping out a bunch of guys in latex, who are nowhere near as scary as the Reavers I'd imagined
The crew of Serenity making history, rather than, as Joss previously claimed, being the ones history stepped on.

Keep the Shiny Side Up . . .
