This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Has he already left Spamalot?

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
He was only booked at Spamalot as a replacement for Azaria. I think his gig was up sometime in the fall.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I'm cautiously hopeful about a Xanadu musical. Could be genius, could be disastrous.

move out and draw fire
I watched Serenity last night, second viewing, and I still can't figure out why Wash dies. I can't even figure out how a Reaver ship got there - the "exterior" shots showed them all alone. But story-wise, symbolism-wise, anything, I just can't figure it out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

To heighten the level of jeopardy?

Why Wash dies, I don't know. But the Reaver ship was following them down the whole way, it seemed to me. As the Serenity landed, the camera was pretty much on the side, so we didn't see where the Reaver ship went, but I always assumed they were still following, rather than giving up and wandering about. Since they didn't lose power, they could just glide into the same hanger that Serenity was sort of crashing through... and then Serenity crashed tail-first, its bow pointed directly toward the following Reaver ship.
All of that made sense to me. Then comes the Wash dying, which not so much.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There's a scene when the crew is fleeing Serenity where you can see several ships landing behind Serenity (but since Serenity got turned around they're at the front, IIRC).
I'm trying to picture the scene in my head, as I haven't seen Serenity for a few months... so I might not be remembering it exactly. But there were Reaver ships right behind Serenity....
