I broke down and read the novelization and then the screenplay before seeing the movie. But doing it that way I did get the story- and I'm glad that I did, because without knowing the the whole plot...would have been wrong.

How is the novelisation? I might pick it up if it's a good read.

Book's death wasn't that much of a shock to me...but Wash's was.

WHY WASH??????? Barely had a second to register that he really was dead before they were running from the Reavers - one of the most shocking moments I've seen in a movie. And I'm kind of annoyed that we didn't get any of Book's history. He always intrigued me.

What's interesting is that the visual guide/screenplay mentions that Alan Tudyk could be in a sequel if they made one ?!#????

Buh?! Flashbacks? Maybe an evil twin? Or clones? That's just... hopefully thay can bring him back in a non-cheesy way.

And Kaylee & Simon- YAY. They're my OTP and Simon's my favorite character, followed closely by Kaylee.

Hee! I've always loved Kaylee & Simon together. So cute. :) Kaylee is definitely my favourite. But I love everyone on that boat. :)
