hahaha I dunno how much of this is tongue-in-cheek but I love it!!! :) We definately need snogging and perhaps petting! ...and Wash's death can be like one of those soap opera dream sequences! yeah yeah! ...and Firefly Forever gorrammit! X)

Ok. I am totally lost on the Inara dying thing. What...? Where did that come from? Somebody fill me in. Was that in the second comic book (the one I don't have)?

I do totally agree on their being more snogging, though. Perhaps if Inara showed Mal her guns....

greenka61, I'm copying from another thread:

“Wow! You're really putting me on the spot here. I could get into so much trouble for this, but . . .” said Morena Baccarin about Inara's Secret at Dragon*Con 2008. I don't think that Morena committed a sin against storytelling. She is telling us that there is a cliffhanger that most of us were unaware of, which makes the story better. (By the way, a cliffhanger is not a spoiler.)

Inara's fate is the cliffhanger. Since it's Joss Whedon's story, if he wants Inara to live, a cure will be found because it's Science Fiction. If he wants her dead, she dies before the Serenity Saga ends. I don't know which will happen, but I suspect Inara's fate has NOT been decided. We will have to wait for years to find out.

Knowing that there is something really big that hasn't happened, yet, will keep the audience interested while they wait for the story to continue. That is a great storytelling strategy Joss Whedon is using. An even better strategy would be for Joss to write that comic book NOW!

Morena spills the beans:

I watched the series before the movie and it never occurred to me that he would kill off one or more of them. Still, I found it engaging and fell in love with the characters. I could have watched a dozen seasons, until all the crew of Serenity were in diapers using walkers and I would have loved it. There's a comfort in knowing your fictional friends and heroes will always be around.


Having read the support for the resurrection of Wash, I can safely say most of you are better off that the show was cancelled.

Oh! This changes everything! Now I have to go back and rewatch the episodes again and rethink my assumptions.

Hmmm.

kieyra wrote “Indistinguishable From Magic” to resurrect Wash. It was written the week Serenity premiered. River knows that Miranda wasn't the only secret the Alliance had. I think it very good for how quickly it was composed. Were Zack Whedon to add some hard science to that story, it would make a hardcover comic better than any other Serenity comic.
