That's right - it was like a harpoon wasn't it? So functionally not entirely outside the realm of grappling hooks; just minus any hook part.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

That's what I saw.
I came away thinking that the impalement wasn't necessarily targeted. Like that big honkin' log just happened to come through the windscreen...making the death all the more ignoble. Unhappy accident in a sea of violence.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
It felt like Joss was saying, "no one is safe here. They all might die."
I think that was the point. I know I spent the rest of the movie thinking "Joss is a fucker. They're going to lose! THEY'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"
'cause, you know...Joss is a fucker sometimes.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Oh, absolutely. I know *I* spent the rest of the movie after Wash *whimper* in complete and utter terror for My Crew.

funny. I often think/say/IM away message "I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar"... sometimes I hope for an errant tree log. Alas, Joss isn't my creator. I should be so lucky ;)

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I remember during the CSTS preview screening things in 2005 loads of people were claiming Wash got killed by a boulder.

Did anyone start the hype for the "Objects in Space" WnP tomorrow? I just brought home a 14 week old Newfoundland puppy tonight; at the moment he's laying quietly at my feet but I can't promise he'll be conveniently quiet during showtime tomorrow night. But I'll try to be here.
