Long charming spoiler-ful Joss interview in Australia:
Firefly Spoilers
Discussion of all Firefly episodes, including "Trash", "The Message", "Heart of Gold", and any movie news.
From Betsy's link -- Weirdest. Typo. Ever. (unless it's some alternate Australian spelling in which case -- Weirdest. Unamerican Spelling. Ever.)
He noted that Alan works the most and was the first to get work after the series ended. Joss at this point began to get nervous that the cast was moving on and that his movie wasn’t going to happen. At this stage he asked Tim Minear, "At what point does this stop being CPR and start being Negrophilia".
What? He likes black people.
Unlike George Bush.
That is an amazing typo. Ohmygoodness.
The writer does it more than once....

Okay, seen it now.
I am in the camp that believes Book's death was sad, and Wash's death meant that no one was safe. I was taut with apprehension from the moment Zoe processed his death, not least of all because I thought she'd buy it, suicide-by-Reaver. I honestly didn't know who was going to live and who was going to die. If I'd been a little less tense, I'd have turned around to look for Joss and shoot him an evil glare. In fact, the first few times AT walked by, I interrupted my conversations to say "Ohmigod. He killed Wash. The bastard."
However, the death got Zoe into that dress, and LORD she was magnificent. And I think she was much more beautiful after he died. GT didn't get enough screen time, but I think she was brilliant in what she had.
For the first time in the 'verse, Mal/Inara didn't bug me. Not sure why -- missing them? I'm glad they didn't get together. I agree that Simon/Kaylee was a bit OOC, but I figured that was jiggering to fit the movie timeframe.
What else, what else? SG rocked the house -- she was beauty and grace incarnate -- it was wonderful to see two martially capable women be so different. J Weewee might have a thing for the Buffy type, but Zoe's not Buffy, and Zoe's amazing, and there are more faux-Buffys than faux-Zoe's, even outside the Whedonverse.
There's more -- I just don't remember right now.
Dammit. He killed Wash. The bastard.
