The explanation for Wash's demise was short sighted. Besides a similar effect could have been had by having him loose an arm or leg. That would have shown vulnerability quite adequately without killing the best character. That is, the only completely normal, well adjusted, average guy in the Firefly/Serenity world. All the rest, except maybe Zoe, had problems of one kind or another. But now of course, she's messed up too. You all know the what I mean, Mal is the leader be he's probably got the most scambled brains of them all. Wash was all of us. Joss killed us when he killed Wash.
Wash Lives!

"No, Joss! You can't be in charge of the world you created! You must bow the demands of the fans! Do things our way, damn you!"

Exactly. Whatever works. Follow the money, always follow the money.
Again, Joss killed us when he killed Wash. In fact he may have even killed himself.

"Follow the money" might actually mean something if Joss thought that sequels and/or more TV was dependent on his bringing Wash back. But it isn't. It's dependent on whether Fox or Universal decide it's in their financial interest to get it done. So "following the money" won't lead you to Browncoats--it'll take you straight to Fox or Universal. And I don't think they give a damn whether Wash comes back from the dead or not. I'm pretty sure the Browncoats will turn up for a sequel whether or not Joss miraculously resurrects Wash. It's just asinine to demand that he do things our way. It's his 'verse. We just get to visit it. But have fun with the whining.

Cool.
One question, though. Why do you have a link to your website on the exact same site?
Having fun yet?

The one aimed straight for your Heart;
I wanna meet the wolves halfway,
And let them Tear me APART,
But that's not the way they do it here...

You, Lance. He killed you. Plenty of Browncoats who've grieved over Wash and come to terms with it. Don't generalize yourself onto others.

To say that none of them care about money is ridiculous. They all do, it's their job, including Joss. And as in any business the customer is always right. The customer dictates what you sell and how.
If they gave away movie tickets or DVD's for free I would agree, but they don't.
