This scenario has a LOT of "ifs" in it but what I always imagined what happened to Wash is that he actually survived and like the guy in "Bushwacked" became a Reaver himself. Months after the events of the movie (assuming that some Reavers survived the massive Alliance vs. Reaver battle in Serenity) the crew of Serenity ran afoul of Reavers again, one of which was the Reaverized Wash. Zoe recognizes him shoots him in the leg to keep him alive and brings him aboard the ship and tries to reverse the Reaver-ism with good old fashioned will power and love. Eventually Wash comes out of it but still isn't quite right (think a male version of River but with Reaver instincts). Might make for a passable fanfic...

I agree. It may sound harsh, but I'd rather not have Wash back at all than some kind of weird half reaver, half person, crazy guy. What about the jokes? We all know he's the funny one. Seriously, tho, I'd rather have almost anything (dead, alive, in River's body) than some kind of weird half reaver, half person, crazy guy.

Another problem I'd like to point out is the obvious: HE'S DEAD!!!

It's sad, but true and I don't see how anyone can do anything with him anymore. All the reavers could do is gnaw on his insides and sew his flesh to their faces, but I don't think they could reaver-ize him.

I read a really terrific fanfic on this very sight that could bring Wash back in a plausable plotline. It was called "Wish I was Somebody Else" I think .... it was a little while back and I've slept since then. Anyway, in this story, it wasn't even the real Wash that got killed. It was a Wash look-a-like Alliance plant. The real Wash was being held in prison the whole time during his 'death' and the other members of the crew stumble across the info through DNA and then proceed to find the real Wash. I'd be willing to stretch my imagination a little bit to the other side of 'not likely' to have Wash back, but this story was really quite solid. Ya'll should check it out.

lol, that's the first time I've heard that one. Anyway, if anyone's smart enough to figure out a plausible reason for Wash to come back (and hopefully Book for that matter), it's the Whedon-miester. He could always do what he did to bring Buffy back, and just bring him back through magic. You know, for Buffy and Angel being his last two shows, there's surprisingly little magic in Firefly.

Hey I can't remember who, but someone expounded on the theory that Wash was simply seriously injured not dead and that it was possible that Alliance medical attention would have been used to save him because he had information

Ok everybody CRAZY4MAL is close to the "Bullseye" on this one. As you all know Joss W. and I are pretty good buddies so here's the unknown truth of the matter ( I shouldn't be telling you guys this but we're browncoats and I like you) Peter Seller was substituted for Wash while the crew were back on Miranda. Remember all thoes faces Wash was making while flying Serenity back to Mr. Universes planet? Well that was actually Peter flying. It was an Alliance plot back on Miranda to infiltrate Mal's crew of lawless pirates even further. The proof's below:




So there you have it. Wash is safe and hiding out on Miranda. I'll be posting this in the BSR and maybe on other FF sites as well.

see ya,Z

Magic, time machines, unplausable plot twists, WHATEVER it takes to bring Wash and Book back, I'll buy it hook, line and sinker!!!!! I HATED Serenity for their deaths. It ruined the movie for me.

No... this must be what going mad feels like.

Book I can understand and perhaps sob a little. But I couldn't stand Wash's death. Why oh why!! Just to see that look on Zoe's face as she realized.... sigh.
