She'd be begging for the crate her brother put her in.

I did not watch-and-post but I have been reading the comments since I had watched recently.

And in the theater I missed the entire rest of the movie because I sat there repeating "They killed Wash! They killed Wash!" Seriously, I had to see it again to figure out what happened after that scene.

Morgana is me.

I didn't do the W&P either. Serenity is still so very hard for me. There's so much good and fun and scary and exciting and warm and *them*. And then they killed Wash and the world stopped. And it never spun quite the same way again. Someone asked about staying to sing the theme while the credits rolled. I couldn't wait to get out of the theater so there was no lingering for nostalgic singing. If I hadn't been with other people I would have walked out after Wash died. It took more than a year before I could watch it again. I think I've made my peace with it, and then I watch Firefly eps and, no. I hated that Joss' preoccupation with the little girl being the badass became the theme. I hated that everything I loved about the series was sacrificed to showcase River. I'm still bitter, gee, could you tell? But I fixed it. In my world, Serenity never happened, Wash is still flying, and the crew is still doing the job.

i'm kind of in your camp, Beverly. i was pretty bitter that the movie was all about River. she and Simon were my least favorite characters in the show. then Wash was killed and he WAS my favorite character. so yeah...still a little bitter.

In my imagination Zoe was pregnant when Wash was killed because I still want to meet their child!

Anybody else read Joss's "kitchen sink" original script for Serenity, in which nobody dies? Well, Reavers and such, but not, you know, people we care about. I've got a copy of it around here someplace.

They should film that and show it every Christmas!

I've never seen it--I'd like to. I do have scripts for two never filmed Firefly eps, though.

ooo. What were they?

Ummm, not on this computer. When I eventually shovel my desk off so I can use that computer, I'll see if I can find them.

There were three, and Trash was one of them, filmed but not aired. One never filmed was about a medical clinic? I think? Not Ariel. The crew got separated in a battle or raid, and they were looking for each other among the survivors, the best I can remember.

Couldn't W&P, but it was fun reading it. Would love to see all three of the scripts you guys were discussing if you find them. New FF after all this time would be an amazingly fun way to start the year! What time is the W&P on Sunday? Er, if it's happening, that is.
