It is hard. Sometimes when I know a secret I feel like I'm going to say it involuntarily. Like if someone says to me "Hey, it's a nice day outside", I have a knee jerk reaction to say "Wash dies!".
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

Off topic -
Lilty, I'm coming up to Maine this weekend. I hope to be coming up Friday, and would be coming through Portland 7-9ish. I'll be heading back Sunday and be going through noon-ish. You around?
On topic - I just make damn sure before I post about Firefly right now that I haven't said a movie thing (I looked at my Luke/Leia/River/Simon comment yesterday for a good 2 minutes before I posted, just in case).
What happened at the Serenity preview stays at the Serenity preview.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I almost did the exact same thing Sumi, before realizing she was unspoiled and posting anything there would be a Bad Thing.
I'm kind of torn about being spoiled for that myself. Wash was my 8th favorite character on the show, so I doubt I would have been among those with the most outraged grief reactions, and I kind of regret the moment isn't going to have quite the HSQ factor for me when I see it. Then again, if it had been Zoe or Kaylee in his place I'd have wanted to be spoiled ahead of time so I could be emotionally prepared for the loss.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
For the next few days, every conversation I began with my best friend started not with "hi" but with "Wash is dead." He would then say, "I know."
Okay, we're still doing that.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Wash is not dead. Wash will not be dead until Sept 30. It's just that we have a tragic and certain foreknowledge. It's the kind of vibe Walter Benjamin would totally go for, if only he had the pop culture lurve.

If I only had a brain...
He's Schrodinger's Wash: dead to us, but not to the world at large. Or maybe he's Relativity Wash: dead or not-dead depending on the position of the observer.

Heh, or Joss has alternate footage of the entire last half hour of the movie and someone else buys the farm in Sept.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

That would be funny.

If it makes anyone feel better, none of this'll happen for five hundred years or so, so if we're long-lived enough and can plan ahead very, very well we can avert this disaster.
