I was still holding onto the faint hope that he'd re-edit the preview version I saw and NOT KILL WASH. Sigh.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
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.

"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
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...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And was I right?
TOTALLY. And you added to the fakeout, because I was sure that Book's death was what you were referring to.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm going to be seeing it with a couple people who haven't seen it on Friday (as well as a ton of people who have) and I'm actually feeling kind of guilty in a bizarre way because I know what a severe gut punch Wash's death was to me (and it still makes me sad to think about) and for whatever reason I feel like I'm inflicting that same pain on my friends and that it might be kinder to leave them in the TV-verse where Wash (and Book) still lives.
Which I realize is totally silly, especially since the rest of the movie still rocks like a grandma on crystalmeth. But it's there.

If I only had a brain...
Dammit. He killed Wash. The bastard.
Frell, yes.

TOTALLY. And you added to the fakeout, because I was sure that Book's death was what you were referring to.I thought that it might throw you. Which really just makes it that much more of a sucker punch in the gut to me when he killed Wash. The bastard.
it might be kinder to leave them in the TV-verse where Wash (and Book) still lives.Fridays on SciFi are very emotional now. The dino scene, in particular, brought on the pain for me.

Fridays on SciFi are very emotional now. The dino scene, in particular, brought on the pain for me.
The bits that get me are all the plans he liked to make with Zoe, about having a holiday, or buying a dress. Also the bit in HoG where Zoe's trying to talk him into trying for a baby. Argh, kills me.
