So, I was watching Firefly DVD disc four last night, including the never-aired episode, "Heart of Gold."

In one scene, Zoe is laying down the law with Wash, more or less informing him that it's time for them to make a little browncoat. Now, this episode would have taken place about six-months before Serenity.

So, maybe, perhaps, in Serenity Zoe is a couple of months pregnent.

Who else can imagine the next BDM opening with the scene of a tiny pair of hands reaching up for the plastic dinosaurs atop the pilot's console?

Actually, I'm looking forward to both Zoe and Kaylee being pregnant at the same time...

Awww!! A little mini-Wash running upboard Serenity, playing with his daddy's dinosaurs and saying stuff like "Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!" and messing around on the pilot's chair. God, that would be so cute! *gushes with the thought of a lil mini-Wash*
That just brought a huge smile on my face.

Ah! How adorable! I can picture this all in my head.

AWESOME!
I had never even thought of this, and yes i remember now in "Heart of Gold" it being discussed, a baby that is....And if there was alittle Wash, it would make all those humungiod Wash fans way happy, not to say that im not one myself :):). If i cant have the big wash....ill take alittle one :). I too can amagine the little wash learning to fly, and Kaylee teaching him about Serenity, and saying "I'm a leaf! I'm a leaf! Mommy, look i can fly like a leaf! TOTALY SWEET!

I actually think it would be a huge mistake to have a kid running around on Serenity. The crew works better together than jst about any cast I have ever seen, and I think the addition of a new child actor would jeapordize that. I don't really want a Junior Wash piloting prodigy, because with the resident child prodegy, there is the cheese-factor. Anyone remember Wesley on Trek or Lucas on SeaQuest? River has managed to avoid this, but I think having two would push the luck even for Whedon! I also can't see Mal being too thrilled with the prospect of a child on his boat.

Besides, Serenity already has a gifted new pilot in River. Bottom line, as fun as it would be to have Wash's kid, I think it would muddy up the beautiful flow of the crew.

sounds about right
but like you said it would be fun

HJ: *Hiccup* *hiccup*.
JAYNE: Mal the kid's hiccuping what do we do?
MAL: You just gotta scare him.
JAYNE: Pain is scary...

WASH: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next?
ZOE: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up.
WASH: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

I'm not sure... I like the idea of Zoe being a mom - she's a warrior now, but we've never seen the side of her that cares. I think it'd be great for her character to show some emotion and sensitivity.
No matter what happens to the future of the series, choosing the right team is key. Whoever they would bring in as a new actor/character would be a potential problem.
Let's just hope there is a future for our pretty Serenity and her crew.

SERENYTY

Ooh, I have an idea!!!

I remember Joss saying in an interview that Wash would be in the possible sequel, without the cheesy "long lost twin" sort of way. Maybe it's flashbacks, but it COULD be a child...

I dunno. It made more sense when I thought of it!!!

Yeah, Serynyty, I saw that in an interview, too (fans asking Joss questions in Australia, actually). But now I can't find it. Do you know where it was?

Then maybe River could be pregnant too? All of them at the same time. Only River's could be immaculate or some such.

Although I can imagine one of the gals being pregnant and River having long conversations with the baby her head pressed up against Zoe/Inara/Kaylee's stomach or even better before they know that they're pregnant (that'll go over big with the abortion croud).

Simon: "River, what are you doing?"
River: "Talking to Joss."
Kaylee: "Whose Joss?""
River, pointing at her stomach: "He doesn't like strawberries."

SUNDANCE

Hey gang - it's funny I was wondering the same myself not only yesterday. Weird.

Hang on for anyone about to read this + not seen movie - spoiler ahoy! stop!

Just to add my two penneth-worth, i think it would be a mistake to have Zoe pregnant 'cause it only lessens the heartache of losing Wash - now she's left with nothing on her own again, she has to go to that dark place and decide if she wants to come back and carry on as Wash would've wanted or just turn bitter and a bit snippy. It's too easy to have the whole child of my one true love storyline and ruins the impact of his death (i think i already said that woops!). That's just my personal opinion.

Besides we all know what happened last time Gina Torres got involved with the whole baby thing(Angel anyone?) maybe not such a good idea.

I think that was three-penneth on reflection, my bad.

Have a good day all

There's a Q&A on this in Joss interview in "The Visual Companion" book. I'll look up exact quote.

I agree with some of the opinions here - no little Washes running around on Serenity. However, they should bring Wash back. Like resurrect him, clone him or whatever (ok, cloning - not such a good idea). but he was the most reasonable memeber of the crew, and they need him.
Seriously, if there's something that might bury the chances for a sequel, it's that! Bring Wash back!!!

America loves a winner!

Imagining lil hands reaching up from behind the control panel and grabbing a plastic dinosaur.... too funny! I love the thought, but I can't see how it would work w/ in a movie sequel. In a series context, maybe. ( Remember, this from the guy who brought us SMILE TIME. )

So far, Wash has been imagined to come back as a twin, a clone....has anyone thought of a Wash-bot?

Ok, that's just too ridiculous. Sorry

If you've seen the movie than read my review of it, of course the info in my review could be mistaken.
