Am I the only one whose heart broke when the engine snapped off Serenity? Everyone is focusing on the deaths of Book and Wash (not that I blame them) but am I the only one who was ready to cry when Serenity herself seemed crashed beyond repair? Don’t get me wrong, I was sad when Book died but was able to accept it. The crash, however, wrenched my heart around inside my rib cage. Then, of course, Wash’s death put me into complete shock and the subsequent events didn’t help.

As others have pointed out, this is a testimony to Joss’ abilities to make his world a reality for us. How we deal with grief/pain is one of the most interesting aspects of humanity and everyone responds differently. Personally, I have been waffling between shock and disbelief for the last two days.

Looking back, I can appreciate why the deaths happened (sure as all hell pulled everyone into the movie deeper). But thinking on the destruction of our beloved Mid-bulk transport and her rebirth makes me remember something from the original “Serenity” which may bring solace to the rest of the browncoats out there. Once, a long time ago, Mal and Simon were talking on the bridge. Simon was aghast that Mal considered the narrow escapes and injuries they had just experienced as a “good day”. Mal responded with his famous words, “We’re still flying”.

The events of Serenity the movie may never fall under the category of “a good day” but at least Joss left us with the comfort that we are indeed still flying. So, while I doubt he’ll ever read this, I would like to thank Joss for at least giving us that much. As Mal said…“It’s enough”.

Yeah, but ships you've got a better chance of rebuilding... People less so - maybe the bodies are "easy"... eh, different perspectives I guess.

Given the freedom to do so, anarchy will result in an organic organization unto itself.
