As far as Book, I think he would have left Serenity the way he did in the movie, though I don't think he would have been killed. The purpose of his death still alludes me to this day. Wash's was to be expected given the movie's plot direction, but Book's doesn't really hold merit to me no matter how often I watch the movie. I see Book's part in the series would have later been a continued haven for the crew of Serenity.
Just my two cents, but I could be wrong.

I disagree with you there because I htink it was Books death which made sense annd not Wash's at all.

Have to say I didn't like either one of them dying off. Wash did a great counterpoint to Mal and gave Zoe a chance to show her feminine side.
Having Book as a mystery was great fun. He was always there with the unexpected thought to interject, one that made sense, one that everyone paid attention to.
Having them both dead is a loss and an opportunity to grow into a couple more characters (we should always hope).
In the end I guess I have to trust Joss to do the tale right.
Still want to know the answer to Book, though. Maybe begging and charity would work.

Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who! :) Far as I'm concerned, neither of them should have died.

That statement is absolutely correct. Without Book's death Mal would never have gone into his "war mode".....Still, a very difficult scene for me to watch,...And I guess ....ultimately...it's just a frikkin' movie right?...so why not tear your emotions to shreds in the process?...at least you walk away from it knowing YOU'RE alive.

I think so. I'd actually go so far as to say that if FIREFLY had lasted 5 to 7 years, that Mal, River and maybe Jayne would be the only members of the original cast left.
Both BUFFY and ANGEL had a bit of a revolving door cast. New characters kept getting added and older ones kept getting sacrificed at the "plot development" altar. So I imagine that Wash and Book would be bumped off, and that if not right away, then at least during sweeps or the premieres, they'd be replaced immediately.

A la "Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles"? I would hope so. People getting rent limb from limb is always better in CGI.

Nothing screams "story advancement" like a good kill and I figure that nothing could get us 'attached to' and 'separated from' characters quite like the Unification War and the plight of the Browncoats. :)
