You're both right. Yes, I did wonder whether others were going to die.

I've found the thread with all the explanations in... http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=13372

...and it helped.

I still don't like it, but reading the thread helped.

*suppresses sob*

Personally, I was heartbroken. He wasn't just any character, to me he was the character. I'm no less saddened upon reflection, but I realize now that I feel differently about the movie than I would have if it hadn't happened. It turned an enjoyable, safe episode into a compelling, intense, uneasy movie--all of a sudden I was worrying who might go next. No one was safe anymore, and the way the script played out, several more characters potentially could have gone, too--Jayne and Simon were shot, Zoe was slashed across the back, Kaylee took those darts in the neck, and River was dragged into the middle of the Reavers as the door shut. I wasn't sure any one of them was going to survive.

That tension and uncertainty engaged me, and it never would have happened if Wash hadn't died so unexpectedly, shockingly, and brutally.

You really have flown to close to the sun. The movie was o.k.. The music was weak. Spielberg? Not even close. Closer to a TV movie than a classic cinema piece. Maybe in a few more movies.

and I didn't cry when book died, but he was hardly in it, which was a shame cos his death didn't really seem to mean anything,

Alright guys, i found this site a couple days ago and so many times i've already heard "oh its ok that Book dies, but Wash, now him i dont understand" Guys i can see, especially since i've read this and other treads, how and why they both died, but if anyone has seen Firefly and not just Serenity you'll feel more for Book. Book is freakim awesome guys, and i wanted so much to see more charater development on his part. :( oh well. But please have some respect.
