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.
Dammit. He killed Wash. The bastard.
Yeah, I'm still not over it.
And Summer kicked the most beautiful ass ever. Not that the asses were beautiful. You know what I mean.
I was still holding onto the faint hope that he'd re-edit the preview version I saw and NOT KILL WASH. Sigh.
Nope, Wash still abruptly dead. Doornail-like, even.
I admit, I did feel betrayed, but not in a bad way. God bless fiction and flux thinking.
However, the death got Zoe into that dress, and LORD she was magnificent. And I think she was much more beautiful after he died.
Good god YES.
And Summer kicked the most beautiful ass ever. Not that the asses were beautiful. You know what I mean.
To be fair, one of the assess she kicks is Simon's...
Okay, seen it now.And was I right?
Dammit. He killed Wash. The bastard.Gets me fresh all over again everytime I think of it.
sighs
Can it be next Friday now?
