Quote:Originally posted by Rae: I hope Wash is still alive. I trust Joss to do the best possible thing. One possibility that no one has mentioned is the blue hands guys. They weren't really mentioned much in the movie, but we know they are out there. They are just as interested in getting River back as anyone, probably more so. They may very well have been the ones to find Wash, and we already know that they are ruthless. They probably are lurking right behind the alliance ships, tracking the crew. They would not trust anyone to take care of the problem. Wash would be a good back up plan. Save him, hold him hostage as bait. Why keep chasing River all over the 'verse, when one hostage will bring the crew to them? Rae

Quote:Originally posted by pastorbadger: C) It’s O.K. to bring Wash back, IF it’s done in a clever and convincing manner. No visits to the Sacred MacGuffin or time travel or mind-melds… It must be elegant and believable in the real universe, the Firefly ‘verse, and the universe in which I live.
Quote:E) There IS NO FIREFLY without Wash. I won’t go to see any movie with less than the perfect cast. Well…I’ll probably still go, but I won’t buy the DVD. Who am I kidding? I’ll probably still buy the DVD…but I’ll keep it in a box in my garage with the Jon Pertwee “Doctor Who’s” and the George Lasenby “James Bond”! So there!

Quote:Originally posted by Kizyr: That much is true; it's actually opened up a nice area for Serenity RPG players to fill in. The RPG book, at least, mentions that grav fields might be hard to set up, but are pretty cheap to keep going (hence why hovermules are decently economical).
Quote:I mean, fifty years ago we were pretty good with figuring what kind of technology was cutting-edge. But, how many people would've figured that by 2005 we'd have widespread cellphone and internet usage? Meanwhile, I'm thinking that a fair amount of people in 1969 would've figured that by now we'd have landed a man on Mars. So yeah, predicting technology can get iffy.
Quote:But, I got enough faith in Joss and Tim to do it right, realistic-wise or plot-wise, if they do it at all. KF

Quote:Originally posted by Agatsu: Well, I think both Monty Python quotes fit the situation in their own way. "THIS IS AN EX-PILOT!" is an excellent tool to crush the futile hopes of optimistic Wash-Lovers (which is exactly what I needed it for), while "BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!" reflects the audience's feelings towards yet another "I didn't REALLY die in the last movie."-Scenario. You don't have to disagree that Wash has to stay dead, because I would prefer him alive as well (yet in a wheelchair to damp down on the happy-happy.). I just ASSUME that Wash is gonna stay dead, but to be honest, it's not really in my jurisdiction. And about Zoe... what else would you do with her now that Wash is gone? Let me rephrase that. In which direction could her character go that still keeps her interesting?

If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

You believe we WILL get a revival or sequel, but DON'T belive Wash will return? Friend, you need to come into the shop to have your pessimism rotated.

Uhm...they buried Spock! Cap't Sheridan was dead for days. Obi Wan was bisected by a light sabre and then disintigrated. Danial Jackson turned into Tinkerbelle and vanished. O.K., so no telephone pole-sized fleschettes, but seriously, no precident? Read the whole thread. I challenged you to name a science fiction series where they DIDN'T bring someone back from certain death! And as for Joss saying "I'll never bring 'em back from the dead". I point you to the fourth Indiana Jones movie currently in production... Never believe "never" from the lips of anyone in Hollywood. "That word you keep saying...I do not think it means what you think it means." Inigo Montoya If you've never seen these things, then all you've ever seen is Serenity. Amazing things, those moving pictures, eh?

Quote:B) Wash SHOULD stay dead. No matter how you allow him to survive, it will cheapen the franchise, and I’m the kind of person who worries about cheapening franchises, subtext and social relevance in movies.

Goddamnit, this is supposed to be a show with meaning and integrity, not where they just make up implausible shit. Oh yes, you all are reminding me of the people who believe Elvis is alive. "MY NAME IS JAYNE, ya damn moonbrain! Now yer gonna DIE!!"

Somebody (fed) shot a coolant pipe somewhere (engene room). Freezing white stuff came out, Froze the whole ship over, including Wash...who, while dead, had his nural functions frozen in the four minutes before they would have stopped.
Quote:(For the record, I'm getting the majority of this from the Artemis Fowl books...Dear God, I just compared Wash to Butler)

Quote:Originally posted by Storymark: And those series all involved ressurrection of some form, aliens and supernatural powers to varying degrees. All things which Joss has sworn off from the 'verse.
Quote:Originally posted by Leebo: Y'all are forgetting Reavers don't eat dead bodies. Recall in the very beginning of the movie Mal shoots the guy two reavers are holding and they throw the dead man down in disgust. Mal just denied them their meal in that case, so there's no reason for the reavers to chew on Wash or Mr. Universe post mortem.
