No matter how dumb and shrill we are... someone has to come in and defend the honor of Star Trek 2009. Which means someone's constantly monitoring the board for real and perceived slights against 'The Eighth Wonder'.
Goddamn they're chivalrous.

He wouldn't do the latter - he and everyone involved are justifiably proud of it. One of my favorite movies of the last decade, too.
They killed WashNow how can you resurrect the series without your plucky comic relief?
First time I saw the film, I thought they were going to kill every last one of the characters. 'Twas a fantastic film, though.

The reaction Whedon was evidently hoping for by killing a couple of them.

Yeah, I figured it was him manipulating us pretty masterfully. It wasn't Book's death that did it, it was Wash's very sudden, very brutal demise. So damn good and so damn memorable.
Yeah.
I never thought "they're all going to die" because commercial action films don't work that way - 20th would have freaked at the script and that would have been that. However, I wasn't at all sure who would survive and who wouldn't.
