Joss Whedon is going to the special hell.
You don't even want to know what kinds of swear words were being said here. And at one point both Chris and I were flipping off the T.V. I didn't cry; I was too pissed.
Shepherd was bad enough. But Wash??? Oh hell no.
I love the movie Alien, and the first sequel was good. But then we got to Alien 3, which began with Newt and the Captain being killed off. I have never watched Alien 3 again.
My point being, I have a good feeling that Serenity will be a new Alien 3. Which is too bad, because River was freakin' awesome. And I loved Simon and Kaylee, and Mal, and generally everybody (except Jayne, who is at 'like up to a point'). But some things are just not done, and that was one of them. I don't care about 'realism', or any other excuses.
Goodbye, Serenity. I'll stick with Firefly.

I just . . . I dunno, I'm weird. I'll read incredibly graphic horror novels and be fine with that, but with movies I tend to want cheery. Or if there's character death, for it to at least make sense or have some foreshadowing.
As soon as they landed on Haven and saw the destruction I knew Shepherd was probably dead or close to it. Since I wasn't cussing at the screen then, I was waiting for something else, for the Operative to catch up with them and for there to be a fight where someone died. But then just WHAM, and I couldn't even say anything for a good five minutes because I was gaping at the screen. Then I said a whoooole lot. ;-)
It was a well-done movie, and the scene was incredibly effective. I can even say from a writer's viewpoint, "Damn, good one. In a freaky, sad, your-fans-will-stalk-you-forever kind of way." But it's precisely because it was so effective that I won't be watching it again anytime soon. It'd be bad enough if I'd only seen the movie and not the series, but watching the whole series within a week and spending hours with these characters instead of just the customary hour and a half of a film. . .
I just guess if I want awful things happening randomly I'll read a newspaper, y'know? I'll take my happy endings where I can get them.
