AND GOD DAMNIT! WTF is up with the changing of the backstory?!?!?! Simon was no where NEAR that cool and calm during combat as what they depicted during the move to save his sister. They should have left that shit alone...maybe shown someone else doing that and getting her out in cryo like the f-in series shows....that particular part was a strikeout for Joss IMO.
Yeah, he did seem awful calm there. But then it wasn't very much like combat so I can forgive that. He played a role for a bit, then did some stun thing, and got outside that window before any real combat started didn't he? I can't remember the first part of the movie too well now, all I can remember is Wash.
I hate that Wash is dead, but I gotta say I've never cared so much when a character has died, ever. I spent most of the rest of the movie in denial, and I think I moved through all the classic "five stages" last night. If his goal was to make an impact on the audience, for me it worked.

True. Fortunately they could usually come back later, thanks to the supernatural nature of the show.
I'll be really annoyed if they find some cheesy way to bring Wash back, though. That's just not what Firefly is supposed to be like, you know?

I wish Shepard hadn't been killed off, but I guess they had to do something to explain the limited screen time. Seemed like he had a whole backstory that they just never got to talk about, I know if the series was going on they would have got to that eventually. But then again someone had to die that mattered at that stage in the flick.
I was so damn shocked when Wash was killed... I sat there for a bit wondering how he was gonna survive that. Pretty sad once it really sunk it
At least a few girls in the theatre were ballin when he died, at least I think they were all girls, you weren't down here yesterday TPR were ya.

I was too shocked last time to notice the audience reaction. This time I was paying attention, and when he delivered the first half of that line the audience all laughed in relief, of course. When the spike hit, there were gasps but some lady in the audience literally screamed. Like a movie-type scream. I wonder if that happened the first time, too, and I missed it.
I cried again, too, dammit. Joss Whedon stole my manhood, the bastard.

Yep, I got a little misty.
It was my impression even before I saw the movie that Book was, in some way, shadowing River. They did board Serenity at the same time, after all. So really now I can't explain why he would leave the ship, unless he just 'quit.'
