Angel ,'Sleeper'
Discussion of all Firefly episodes, including "Trash", "The Message", "Heart of Gold", and any movie news.
We had Summer at our screening! She is so tiny and so cute in person.
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.
I think Wash is (or was *sniff* ) Firefly's Xander - that is, he's Firefly's Joss stand-in. I'm curious, possible meta issues aside, if Joss always planned on killing Wash, if he would have killed someone else if Alan had wanted to continue, or if they all would have made it out.
