Well - he defintely managed that. Exactly my feelings, in fact - I sweated through to the last minutes of the film as a result.

But - there is always a but - the film is supposedly set about 3-4 months after the end of the series. So any second film would have to be a prequel in that period or before: any new series would basically have to "occupy" the space of the series, with us all knowing Wash is going to pop his clogs in the end. Of all the characters in the series, he really was the last one I expected to die. So he chose the right one then, didn't he

I genuinely hope that this can appear as a series again, or that there will be a second film. There's on/off/on/off rumours being fuelled at the moment that make me nervous - didn't even feel like this when they cancelled Star Trek back in the 60's!

Damnit Joss, put me out of my misery please. I want these people back again!
