Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
She did meet Kate in that episode, though.
Yep! That's actually proving relevant in the game, too.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
She remembers being there that other time too, just for like 10 minutes.

I think that Jenny Calendar hit me the hardest. It was so unexpected, and so cruel. I think that it was really the first time that the death that surrounded them really touch
Wash's death scene shocked me completely out of the movie, out of the narrative, out of the 'verse. I've come to accept that this is how Whedon wanted the story to go. I still don't believe Wash is gone. I haven't rewatched Serenity on dvd more than once to make sure the disc was okay. I rewatch Firefly 2-3 times a year. I'm sure Firefly would have reached the same conclusion as Serenity, but it would have been organic and believeable, at least for me. There are many things to like about the movie and more to appreciate. Loss of character agency for most of the cast and Wash's death overbalance those positive things for me. I can't deal with that character death in context, because it never feels earned to me.
I completely concur with these and couldn't put them any better.

In a weird way, Wash's death never really got me - it didn't feel real for precisely that reason, and so it really doesn't resonate the way it should.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Yeah I never really grieved for Wash.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
For me, Wash's death did pretty much what I imagine Joss wanted it to do--raised the stakes that much more. I was terrified for the rest of the movie, because NO ONE was safe. I thought, "what if this is how he's going to say goodbye to Firefly? by killing them ALL?"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Heh - I was exactly the opposite. I figured "Wash, huh? I guess that means everyone else is safe."
But then, I'm not so much a fan of that 'verse, so I was pretty detached and analytical throughout the whole thing.

Same here. Though I found Book's death to be Joss's least impressive: predictable, cliched, and merely plot-driven.

Yeah, with Book, I felt the safeness that others felt from Wash. With Wash, I had no safeness. Just gutwrenching shock and sorrow.
