Sheriff,
Ya, I bet Wash is pissed too.
Remember, BEWARE of the Alliance; they are everywhere. They will try to meddle with you, tell you what to do, what to think, tell you Wash is dead, get in your home and your head. No, they haven't the right, but they will try.

Looks like someone has been paying attention. After my first Serenity experience, I was dissappointed-angry-in disbelief that our lovable pilot had perished.THEN I remembered who was writing this story.If Joss decides to bring back Wash I'm sure it will be something like that. A+ for effort. Operative, it's nice to see someone else who understands how Joss works.

Is this Pizmo?? Because I'm getting an awful sense of deja vu.

Oh yes, and bring on the WASH LIVES party. I just don't want anything cheezy. And I trust Joss to not make it cheezy. If he really is dead, I will go on. And live in my own world of fanfiction.

I certainly hope Wash isn't " taking the big dirt nap with Baby Jesus." But it's a small hope...

As Capt Reynolds would say "TRAP", First Mate Zoe would say "Why should we trust an operative", Jayne " I don't see the profit in a rescue", Kaylee and Inara "can they do that, is it possible" to Simon, and Simon's reply "they need fresh organs and quick". River "his spirit never died".
"Battle of Serenity, Mal. Besides Zoe here, how many-" "I'm talkin at you! How many men in your platoon came out of their alive".

Personally, I find the operative's story compelling. Not simply as a "oh, I wish it were true" kind of thing, but it points to several lingering issues. Such as, the mysterious absence of the 2-by-2 in the operative's mission, and the fact that the Reavers landed and burst into Mr. Universe's pad hot on the BDH's heals, but the alliance didn't enter until much later.
I say, "Good story telling!"
Actually, 'Those Left Behind' did a great job of addressing why the Hands of Blue weren't in the movie. Them being dead is a good reason not to continue looking for River.
On topic, this is actually the exact idea I had (minus the Blue Sun angle) to explain Wash being alive. It's good to see I'm not alone in that mindset.
And before the trolls flame me for saying that, let me explain something here, to all the naysayers to this thread. The series, as we know it, is dead. There is nothing in the works to continue the saga (other than the rumored MMORPG). That means that we, the fans, have the ability to make the the 'verse in our image and present alternate histories and additional possabilities. This isn't a vain attempt to hold onto some miniscule hope that if, at somepoint, they decide to make another movie or series that Wash will come back, it's presenting us with a 'what if?'. If you don't like what's presented, take your happy ass to another thread and keep your negative posts off this thread. Operative has done more (in writing one fanfic) than most people have ever done. So props to him for stepping up.
