Ha..ha... yes I agree. Book and (or) Wash coming back as reavers could be scarry.

Reaver looks up from the dinner table "Hey hand me that leg over here. Don't want to suffer from MAL-nutrition." :)


sorry I'm a sicko, Z

Didn't they use book and others to 'reverize' the ship? Don't think they burried him.
I highly doubt they survived breaking atmo . . . .call me a cynic.

StarrBaby,

I think with the shooting down of the Alliance ship by Book that there were plenty enough ppl to provide curly fries for decorating Serenity. Why use your friends when there are strangers about. Unless they didn't like somebody

" look at Joe over there. I never liked him. He never cut his toenails. Think I'll tie him to the thruster."

How can anyone tell who was whom by just bones? I really don't consider being scorched bleach white by my friends would be an honor. Maybe 500 years into the future I may think differently but more than likley I won't be thinking anything at all. Unless I freeze myself in cryo.

I agree that it's not nice to strap your buddies to a ship. As kaylee said, "These are our friends!"

If'n they decided to not use Book, I'm sure they buried him on Haven.

Book would have made a good decoration - if only the poofy hair would have survived atmo. (Okay, everyone, please take this in the manner it was intended - a terribly dark joke)

I was also frustrated after watching Star Trek: Nemesis on DVD recently over Data's "death." Those of you who have seen the movie will know that there was another droind, a "brother" that looked exactly like Data only more primitive called B-4. In the end, Data sacrifices himself to save the crew of the Enterprise, and I kept thinking it was a trick that they actually programmed B-4 to do it and Data was alive and well. But finally the movie came to an end and I realized that Data was in fact dead, although he had uploaded all of his memory and knowledge to B-4, so it is possible that B-4 may replace Data. Still, I think Star Trek: TNG has run its course although there many be other franchises in the future, and Breant Spiner has made it clear that he has aged beyond his role and is ready to move on.

As for Serenity, I think the deaths of the two character make the show all the more believable, although I think they should have made three movies and left Serenity for the last because it really was a closing piece that culminated everything in a grand finale. I know the sequels were never something anyone had confidence in, but now the course of Serenity as been changed, and too quickly I think.

FWIW, don't check the novel for where the memorial is, check the screenplay.

You know i really would like to know how he knew sooo much about crime! They kept that a mystery throughout Firefly and then they kill him in Serenity. So it looks like we will never know how he knew alot.

Same here, but I think the idea floated around here about him being a former ranking Alliance officer or operative sound the most plausible given his type of knowledge and precision thinking.

They put him front and center, 'cause he's their friend and they wanted to honour him :)
