I’m Jayne, again. And proud of it.

Also, with all due respect to Chris, I don’t think Joss’s choice was that hard, since it was made by Alan. Joss pretty much had to kill off Wash, because other wise he’d have to explain the new pilots, Coy and Vance, if the series ever came back, and that’s never good.

Book on the other hand Book might have been a hard decision, but still Joss is cold. I personally, think he got a thrill out of killing both of them.

Hamlet gets killed in the last act!

I jest. He actually lives on to become King of Jamaica.

Oh, he's so full of manure, that man! We could lay him in the dirt and grow another one just like him.

Obscure cultural reference. Just keeping you on your toes.

Any who believe that's an easy choice on the part of a creator can go rent Star Trek 3, as heartfelt as it is, it's still revisionist junk.
Joss chose a hard, but truthful path, as he did with ***** in Buffy.

Just another observation.

You do realize that River can at least hear ghosts.

Just another observation.

For example:

From Serenity the Official Visual Companion page 128

"I can hear them all and they're saying nothing!"

From the Firefly Reaver wannabe episode

River says "It's a ghost."

Roight. So I took that test. I get a blank page. Wtf, mate? Am I non-existant in the 'Verse?! *weeps!*

Also, I completely get your point on the killing of Wash thing. All or nothing.

LOLA

wow..fun fun quiz!
I came back as Zoe 100% AND Kaylee 100%..same time..
I knew I was a little mix of the two..but it made me happy.
I think one of my favorite things about Firefly is Zoes' relationship with Wash..they did such a wonderful job of conveying such deep emotional attachment..I just loved watching them interact.
I have actually put off seeing Serenity..'cause I just can't bear to see Wash go yet..aren't I a freak!
I miss the series like crazy..I have never been a fan of sci-fi before..my husband totally got me hooked on Firefly
good to find more of the same folks here :)
Anyone else in the pacific NW?

UNSARDONIC

huh... I came out kinda like River, Zoe, Kaylee & Book all-of-'em-mushed-together, like this:

You are River (the site declares - it seems to go unequivocably one way no matter how close other traits are)

River - 85%
Zoe - 80%
Kaylee - 75%
Derrial Book - 75%
Malcolm - 65%
Dr. Simon Tam - 60%
Inara - 55%
Wash - 45%
A Reaver - 25%
Alliance - 25%
Jayne - 15%

I also find it interesting that I'm 25%, both, a reaver & Alliance (and both tendencies stronger than Jayne-ness)... maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the cannibalism thing... well, in all honesty, I didn't but, having strong River tendencies, I projected that the test would "think" that. Maybe.

Anyway the result is appropriate as River's, indeed, my favorite character on this crew - even if the others have all the cool retorts. I mean, when, way back when FF was still on the air and only just a few episodes old, I'd decided that she would become the show's focus because the signposts for her character-arc indicated she was the next step in the evolution of humanity. That's what I decided... for what it's worth.

Now this makes me think... there's a great deal of conversation between posters about their identification with this, that or the other crewmember, but I don't think I find too many posters having too much to say about, or identifying with, Inara and, I think she's had - over the span of the series & the BDM - an ever-increasingly interesting character-arc, one that has the potential to make her an evermore-indispensable part of the crew. I remember in Joss's commentaries during the BDM DVD's extra-scenes section, how she came to him after most of her scenes were cut, concerned that she "just sucked." But my point is that the show would be HUGEly diminished without her and I, for one, would be unhappy to the point of devastation if she weren't part of the BDS/series. in fact, we'd ALL be better off if there were more Inara's in our lives

If there aren't more Inara's in my life by "EIGHT O'CLOCK, DAY ONE(!)," "your friends will think you're all stupid, inbred stacks of meat."
