I can't believe that he killed Wash! (I'm guessing that's the plot-point that somebody over at lj was beginning a campaign to change.)

We had Summer at our screening! She is so tiny and so cute in person.

I really wanted to learn more about Book's backstory. I'm sad that we probably won't get it. Unless it's what the comics are about.

Also, I think it would be interesting to see Zoe post-Wash -- maybe more Zoe backstory in the future.

I really enjoyed the movie despite it's not being all finished and stuff.

It figures someone shows up for the Chicago screening I don't go to.

As for Wash's death. No, I didn't know it was coming. Took me by complete surprise. And then I didn't get a chance to really register it before suddenly most of the cast was wounded. It was just way too much without a breather and caused me to shut down emotionally. Obviously it worked better for others than it did for me.

She said she PICKED CHicago -- it was exciting.

She must have thought I'd be there.

Crap. Now she's probably mad at me.

Dude, you can't stand up Summer! She can kill you with her brain!

We got a rock. (No cast members in SF.)

Was it a big rock? Did you tell all your friends?

Did you get a piece of string to wind around it?

Over at Whedonesque I've heard that not only was Summer in Chicago, but Ron Glass was in Minneapolis, Morena Baccarin (and her mother) were in DC, Jewell Stait was in Denver and that Alan Tudyk was supposed to be at the Portland screening but had to be in NYC for Spamalot so Portland got Chris Buchanan (producer of Serenity and Firefly) instead. Nathan Fillian was in Sacramento.

This is all I've heard so far.

We didn't stick around for autographs -- well, it was late and I don't collect autographs and am not sure what I'd say to Summer anyway, you know?

While I still think there are pacing problems in the climax, I am willing to admit some of my problems are probably due to the character in question and not just how it was handled. I'm curious how popular Wash is with the group at large.

Though I love them all, if I had to rank the crew in order of favorite to least favorite, it would probably look something like Kaylee, Wash, Book, Mal, River, Jayne, Zoe, Simon, Inara

Edited to clarify: This list is post OiS. Before that, River ranked last.
