I think it's more that they don't want to think about WASH DYING because even after all these years the emotional trauma of seeing WASH SENSELESSLY IMPALED AND KILLED BY REAVERS makes them sad. After all, this is about a film where WASH DIES BOOK DIES SERENITY IS ALMOST DESTROYED ZOE LOSES EVERYTHING RIVER REMAINS TRAUMATIZED AND INSANE MAL ALMOST DIES THE ALLIANCE GETS AWAY WITH IT JAYNE LIVES, so there's a lot of feels going around.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

Off topic, but you can title spoilers with
Code: [Select]
[spoiler=title] >spoilerite< [/spoiler]to describe what's being spoilered or who should avoid it.

So, if you haven't read the last few Harry Potter books, you wouldn't know that
Spoiler: Don't read if you haven't read book 13! (click to show/hide)
but you could avoid it by reading the title.

(I don't think I have to warn about Firefly spoilers anymore)
Someone spoiled the Great Gatsby for me on this very forum because "you don't have to spoiler for that anymore lol".

The Song of Ice & Fire kills major characters regularly. LOTR (& the hobbit) kills a few. I think any book with a major war component in it that doesn't kill off at least 1 major character will usually suffer for it. Makes war look light & fluffy for starters.

Well, the problem is wherether the death was planned, or wherether they just did it to keep things interesting.

It's silly how a sudden and unexpected death looks unbelievable in writing, when it's how it usually happens IRL.

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Something tells me that all the people who care about Firefly have already watched it and are just panicking as an overreaction.

I have a list of shows covering months of airtime and over half a terabyte of disk space on my computer queued to watch eventually.  Thankfully, Firefly is no longer among that list, but I'm not surprised to find people who have an "I'm going to watch that when I get a chance" attitude towards the series sounding off when they walk smack into an unmarked spoiler in a thread that didn't warn about unmarked spoilers, when the OP did have the courtesy to use spoiler tags.
