wash
Friday, June 18, 2004

I know this has been discussed over and over, but it is stuck in my head thanks to the filk contest.

I think Wash is his handle. The term wash can have a lot of meanings including being a wash out. Maybe he didn't make it thru flight school. I can see him saying the heck with it and dropping out. Maybe he has a habit of flying back thru the wake of the jets. I guess what I am saying is that Wash can have any name he wants. He doesn't have a name.

How embarrassing to be named after the dog from a Jim Belushi movie. No wonder he switched to Wash.

IMDb cast list for Firefly has him listed as:
"Wash" Warren.
The listing for Serenity has him as:
Jerry Lee "Wash" Warren

I don't know where they get their information but it must come from somewhere.

Remember, he was fired from a fry cook opportunity...maybe he washed dishes too?

Maybe Joss read Maugwai's story and stole it? I'd call your lawyers...

It WOULD be consistent with the Chinese-type names on the show.

Of course, Washington isn't bad, either. He can't tell a lie, after all.....

MAUGWAI


His name annoys me. I had a character in a story who was a pilot. He was Japanese and his name was Iwashima, "Wash" for short. Then I saw Firefly. Blast it all.

So maybe his name is short for Iwashima and he's really just a redheaded Japanese guy.

I believe washingon was a fairly common name in the old west, if nothing else it could be a last name. This is why I think Wash could very well be short for washington.

I think 'Washington' as his full name is a great idea especially as it's a mite pretentious and sober and so utterly unlike the man himself.
