Comments on: The earlier, longer script for Serenity http://bashinginminds.com/2006/07/01/the-earlier-longer-script-for-serenity/ Geekstuff, for the discriminating geek Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:49:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=490 By: JohnnyW http://bashinginminds.com/2006/07/01/the-earlier-longer-script-for-serenity/comment-page-1/#comment-10260 JohnnyW Thu, 05 Jan 2012 05:40:47 +0000 http://www.bashinginminds.com/2006/07/01/the-earlier-longer-script-for-serenity/#comment-10260 Joss cut too deeply. Killing Wash was like he killed Xander. Yes, the audience got upset, no that doesn't mean it was right, because they would have gotten just as upset if he got rid of Xander or Willow. It was the wrong choice, but it wasn't Joss's artistic intention to have Wash or Book die, it was because Alan Tudyk and Ron Glass didn't want to sign on for three movies. That posed a problem for getting the film made, so Joss had to think of a solution... and this was it: Kill them off. Joss has revealed this several times in public. Don't get too angry with Alan or Ron, though. They were only doing what they thought was best. It's a shame, but there you go. If Fox hadn't cancelled the show in the first place, we wouldn't have ever been in this mess. Joss cut too deeply. Killing Wash was like he killed Xander.

This is incredible. This is the movie I wanted to see. No deaths among my favourite crew and, at the same time, somehow more serious than the movie. Ah, I wish for an alternative world where we all gotten three series of Firefly. Browncoat forever, Barts Thanks. This is incredible. This is the movie I wanted to see.

Ah, I wish for an alternative world where we all gotten three series of Firefly.

Browncoat forever,
