I saw Serentiy this afternoon. Josh Whedon is on my list of "people who owe me money/I have to kick in the nuts".
Let me explain. Natalie hands me the box set of Firefly, a short lived t.v. show. She says I'll love it. I remembered the show when it originally aired but never got into it. I was willing to give it another go.
I don't like Firefly. I love it. It's a truly great show. Great cast of characters, snappy dialogue, all the things I love.
The show was cancelled and has resurfaced as a movie. I couldn't wait to see it.
And the movie was fun. A good movie. Except Wash died!
Wash died!!!! And for ten horrible minutes, I was sure that the rest of the cast was going to snuff it as well.
I'm still in shock. Josh Whedon is on my list.

Joss Whedon is totally known for killing off characters that everyone loves! I mean he killed off the entire cast of Angel in the last episode. I mean how can you kill James Marsters, Alex Denisoff AND David Boreanez!!!
Wash was one of my fav's on that show. I took the Serenity - which Firefly crew member would you be quiz... and that's who I was.
Side Note from Liz: River would totally kick Buffy's ass.
River totally could kick Buffy's ass.
I understand that Wash had to die to create a sense of fear that the entire cast was going to die, which they nearly did. The last fiteen minutes of the movie, all I could think was, "I guess there's no sequel."
Ooooo...interesting theory on Book's past: Book, prior to being a Shepard was an Alliance Operative, much like are antigonist. It would sure as heck explain the reason why Book had a lot of Alliance security clearance.
Book became disillusioned with the alliance and became a shepard. Mayhap The Operative does as well.
