Okay, sorry to start yet another wishful thinking thread about the characters that died in Serenity, but I've been thinking about Shepard Book's fate in the BDM. When he dies, we see Mal get up and lookk away, but it appears almost as if Simon was still going to help him, like Book had just gone unconscious. Could he have actually survived and the crew just kept it secret to prevent any reprisals?

Simon is a doctor; they try to help even if they know someone is probably dead, and they make it a habit to confirm death as well. I don't think Book survived.

I realize that FF ain't Smallville,ppl come back on that show at the drop of a hat. But remember Tracy's( the message) character was raised from the dead. I know that was how the eps was writter,but then again that's the whole notion. If Book is written back into the show that's for Joss and company to decide. The only way a fictional character can leave this world (or verse) is to literaly leave this world. Amen

Except if he had survived they wouldn't have put up a gravestone for him at the end of the movie. Sorry, both he and Wash are dead.

IMO it was a memorial.
Just saw the movie "Flags of Our Fathers" a really good movie btw. There was a memorial made of those men and the sacrifices made during the war. Three of those guys were still alive at the memorials completion.
If they( Book, Wash, Mr. Universe) were to be gone just remember that they were buried on a planet enveloped by an Ion cloud. One lightning strike to the ground and instant Wash-enstien or night of the living BOOK. Mr.U's love bot could be the mad scientist that brings them back :)

Oh Lord and Lady, zzeta, but I really hope that doesn't happen. That would be horrible.
Besides, I think the graves are on Haven. []

The graves are on Mr. U's planet. That happened before Serenity left (which was the last scene of the movie anyway). Unless you mean those were memorials and they burried Book on Haven before they left for Miranda.
Anyway I thought a bit like you do during the movie. I was like...maybe he just passed out and near the end of the movie we'll shoot over to the infirmary where book will be lying there recovering. Sadly it was not to be.

Hello Miss PhoenixRose :)
Yepper, there is an old saying," You can't make all of the ppl happy all of the time." I'm sure that whether some of the BDH come back or not,well it's going to make some browncoats unhappy one way or another. One of the reasons I take issue with this subject is to create a debate or some discussion. If ppl aren't talking about the show, even in disagreement then there will be less chatter and that is not good IMO. We need to keep FF/Serenity alive and I know no one on this board will argue that.
Whether Book or Wash or anyone on the show come back is really out of my hands as an individual. But as a moving force in the browncoat army "We are mighty" as Mal would say. We have a voice and it is strong. My first job is to keep the show alive by talking about it. Good,bad,agree, disagree the idea is to keep the flow going. To let the networks and big movie companies know that we are serious about this. I think they do know. Why they are twittling their thumbs over something that can make a lot of money is beyond me. The acting on this show is some of the best I've ever seen. Really dredges up the emotion. These actors and writter should be allowed to continure their art. Looking back on history isn't that what survives, the art!
Oh well, I'll get off of my soap box now, Z out

It doesn't look like Mr. U's moon, it looks like Haven. And the novel says that it's Haven. I'll check the script again to see if it mentions where they are.
And yes, zzeta, I understand talking about it 
But I still think Night of the Living Book would be... Bad. []
