Yeah I never really grieved for Wash.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
For me, Wash's death did pretty much what I imagine Joss wanted it to do--raised the stakes that much more. I was terrified for the rest of the movie, because NO ONE was safe. I thought, "what if this is how he's going to say goodbye to Firefly? by killing them ALL?"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Heh - I was exactly the opposite. I figured "Wash, huh? I guess that means everyone else is safe."
But then, I'm not so much a fan of that 'verse, so I was pretty detached and analytical throughout the whole thing.

Same here. Though I found Book's death to be Joss's least impressive: predictable, cliched, and merely plot-driven.

Yeah, with Book, I felt the safeness that others felt from Wash. With Wash, I had no safeness. Just gutwrenching shock and sorrow.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I wept and wept and had to hide in a bathroom stall at the theatre after the movie.

You know, my allergies flared up during TNT's airing of "I will remember you."
Whew. Good morning, Monday. What a fucking heartbreaking episode. Never fails to get me.

That was the first one where I really had allergies. My eyes had itched before, but "I felt your heartbeat" broke me.

The middle was cheesy as hell, but the end broke me. Up until then, I really didn't get the Buffy/Angel shippers at all. Still not my OTP, but I could finally see it.
