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.
I feel this completely.
Saw the movie (kind of, had my eyes closed for much of it, because migraine) for the second time. Music was different. I miss Greg Edmondson. An excellent action movie. I was too busy being in awe of the sheer existence of the movie to appreciate it the first time, but really. Just incredible action.
There was no reason for her to knife Jayne.
Besides seeing the Blue Sun logo on his shirt, you mean?
Not that it was a
good
reason, but it
was
a reason in her cut-up brain.
Yes, but somebody who sees T-shirts as cause for murder ain't getting near my loin-fruit.
I was convinced that the movie would end with Zoe finding out she was pregnant, and I'm so, so very glad it didn't.

Oh dear God yes. I just can't imagine any way to have pulled that off without invalidating the mood of the whole movie. And having me cracking up laughing.
But it's a nice thought that in some universe, somewhere, there's a little Zoe Wash baby kicking all the other babies' butts and playing with dinosaurs. It makes me happy, at least.

Murder? Pfft. Just a flesh wound. Will toughen your kids up.
I didn't think she thought the t-shirt was a reason to murder. I thought she was trying to get rid of the logo.
I'm pretty sure she was channeling some anger re: Ariel, as it's more or less clear she knew about his betrayal from the moment it went wrong. "Don't look in the closet--it's greedy. It's not in the spirit of the season," and that face. A couple weeks/months and a mood swing later and she's prepared to take a small amount of vengeance out on the guy. Works for me.
The T-shirt thing's plausible too. I just like my theory is all.
Except, doesn't the slashing happen at the beginning of Ariel? Or should I be taking more of my confuzzlement medication?
