Will Joss kill off another character in S2? by Hixie129

Quote:

Inara has a secret too?

Oh yeah! Check out the comentaries on the FF box set. Joss didn't get a chance to really touch on it, but he talks about it in the comentaries.

Apparently it's hinted at a few times like Inara's physical, something about her mentioning not wanting to die to Simon on OoG .. .Oh! and we can't forget THE SYRENGE!!! (Dum dum DUM)

Watch Out of Gas with the commentary on, you learn that there's an untold "secret" about Inara.

*edit* it looks like someone beat me to it

Wash: Yeah, but psychic? That sounds like science fiction.
Zoe: You live on a spaceship, dear.

Well put, that's what lead me to believe Joss intends to get Mal and Inara together. Only to have them ripped apart by Inara's secret.

"Two star crossed lovers." And all that sad stuff.

Thanks! I haven't listened to the commentaries yet (remember, I'm only at this for 6 weeks now). And every time I plan to, lol, I just get so emotional, what with River and all, that I just want to see the episode!

But I will. If there's extra stuff to be known, I gotta be in on it! :)

Well I'm starting to now lean in the Jayne direction. Jayne doesn't like Simon because Kaylee likes Simon. Jayne is Jealous, I can see him trying to kill Simon. Then River or Mal or even Simon kills Jayne.

It's all good .. .I thought about it for a bit, and I decided that in that situation, Mal would bite it.
Simon's obsession with River is borderline creepy, and he has revolved his life around taking care of her. If he actually killed her, that would casue some sort of screwed up anomalie in the verse, and a huge black hole would be created onthe spot .. . they'd all get sucked in and we'd be transported to another demetion where firely never existed, and . . .

Okay, I'm calm now.
Anyway, I think he' kill Mal n that situation.

WHOO HOO! Thread hijcak!

The ship may well be what holds this rag-tag group together, but River is what gives them direction. In many, many cases, her being around made the wind blow, and as our illustrious Captain says, "Wind blows northerly, I go north."

As far as winds go, my not having an extra smile, well, that ship has long since sailed! :) Because I'm very, very happy with what you said here! And smiling from ear to ear. :)

Heh, no worries, A. Glad to serve.

Now, I just have to come up with an equally compelling reason why Jayne can't possibly die. Apparently, the possibility of my questionable heart breaking as a result ain't quite stirrin' the koolaid.

Most likely, we're getting worked up over nothing. But with a nothing as big as the possibility of something, why not get worked up?

Heh.

Haha! :) Yes, let's not kill River; indeed, the whole fabric of the 'verse itself would become unraveled at the seams (or, at least, my world would collapse).

Hair-splittingly funny, btw, how you say we'd go to another "demetion", instead of "dimension", cuz the thought alone is, indeed, a lot closer to tragic space "dementia" than to "dimension". :) lol

There was the odd comment you made today that had me frown a bit, but this is the truest thing anyone could ever say! What Simon and River have is Love, in point of fact.

Everyone who believes otherwise, please see the "This is my sister" fanvid; or the, also astoundingly beautiful, "Wires" fanvid. Both will keep you crying for days!

Yeah, i figured someone would disagree with me on that one. Wasn't trying to open a can of worms on that one. If I remeber correctly, there was a thread concerning their relationship looooong ago.
I think I just have a distaste for Simon's charecter. (weeee there goes the bad spelling again)
I think it's becasue he embodies all of my negative atributes. (snobishness, uptightness .. .etc.) That's whole other thread in itself though.

Makng a lame attempt at steering the thread back to death:
I think the crew will have to keep a close eye on Zoe to make sure she doesn't get too brave like when they were cornered by reavers. I think she's liable to pull that again.

Oh, you really do dislike him. :( wow

I admit, though, that I cannot look at him really objective. Besides, me identifying with Simon, when watching FireFly, makes him an excellent 'catalyst' for my loving River that extra mile. :)

I don't dislike Simon, but he reminds me of my real brother and the character gets under my skin from time to time for that reason alone.

My brother's is named Bishop, but he acts all concerned all the time and it makes you want to either hug him (which I dont do) or slap him. Last time he was trying to be all concerned with me, I slapped him so hard it sounded like a shotgun went off in the room. That was a good day.

I aint reading through this hole thing, so I'll take a guess nobodies mentioned this yet. (When I searched for "drama" nothing came up)

Joss killed off Book because he just aint needed any more.

He killed Wash for dramatic effect. Might not have been the BEST way to do it, but he did it. Joss wanted to put a scare in our hearts, and take out that sense of "Movie ending! Yay! The crew will kick their asses and live to see another mighty adventure!" He wanted it seem that big, big enough that anyone could die at any time. This was the most important thing in the 'verse, well, ever.

Joss writes real. He writes what would be the probable thing to happen in a situation, not the fake one that everyone wants to see. As he puts it, "Where else are you going to see someone shoot a horse?" If Joss feels it necessary to kill off another protagonist, so be it.

~My THREE cents,

ASARIAN, the commentaries are very, very good. Remember these two words (three? does a contraction count as one word or two?): "I'm BUSY!"

As for the topic at hand... my astute analysis:

Jayne'll outlive 'em all.

Inara's toast.

Zoe won't die cuz she'd never leave Mal (especially not after Inara bites it).

Joss loves pain, and Jayne's death would come up short on that count (though I could see him leaving). Inara and Mal's (lack of) relationship has always been painful, but that seems to be resolving itself into something less painful - potentially happy, even; Mal losing Inara would then be crushingly painful. Zoe's already in pain, and we haven't had a chance to see how she copes. In light of Mal and Inara's happiness, I could see her thinking of letting go, but after Mal's loss of Inara she would find her resolve in his need. River's life is pain. I see her potentially finding some peace with Mal, post-Inara. Simon and Kaylee? Either one could go, but neither need to. I'm sure a relationship as rocky as their courtship could be painful enough for everyone.

'Course, maybe Joss'll just kill 'em all. All except Mal. Mal is the 'Verse's designated recipient of all pain. It's just something about his eyes...

You people are way too eager for Serenity 2. Calm down and wait for official word.

But we all KNOW that the 'verse aint over, just like Earth CAN'T be the only inhabital planet in the universe. Not like we'll ever get to one (thank's to the oh so true theories of Einstein, we know it's not impossible, just impossible for us idiots to travel to the next star).

Maybe he should die trying or something, or get captured by the alliance and like suffer a tortue 'till he dies of shock. Now that would be fun to watch.

I don't think anyone has said anything about it looking bad for a sequel... That I know of.

It's possible, I saw on a forum post some guy had a bunch of sources (that were linked from the forum post) that said that the movie profited Universal.

Joss is always willing to kill characters. It's a proven fact. As for our beloved crew:

ZOE: Do you really think any of us are gonna get through this?

JAYNE: I might.

See, there you have it. Everyone dies but Jayne. Just 'cause he's my favourite (also probably because the lowest common denominator always survives and Jayne's often perceived as being cockroach-like).

Seriously, anyone is fair game. More than likely there will be someone new on board who'll take the hit.
