"Serenity" movie discussion - spoiler warning!

[stcanard]

In fact, I can only think of twice that he's done it at all (spoiler warning for Buffy and Angel). Buffy and Spike. Both had magical deaths, and both had a LONG row to hoe to get back to "normal life." No simple resurrection in either case. (I don't count Angel--he wasn't exactly killed, just "sent away.")

Don't forget Joyce (Buffy & Dawn's mom), but I think that one was better left buried!

If you count the show Angel, the resurrection count gets much higher (Darla and Harmony come to mind, but I think there were more). Again, only for magical deaths, or magical creatures.

But you're correct, I don't see resurrections happening in Firefly. It doesn't fit with the feel of the show.

Well, I didn't count ghosts/visions or flashbacks, but you're right I forgot about the "Monkey's Paw" thing with Joyce. (As for Joyce's OTHER return... well, I'll have no trouble forgetting that since the show's creators seem to have forgotten it too!)

Now, flashbacks are certainly fair game in Serenity sequels.

Also, on watching the Tam Sessions again, I don't think it's a psychic killing: I see that River's hand is all bloody. Don't know what she did to him but it was physical.

And on second watching of the movie I have another favorite to add: Jayne being afraid of the safe word What a classic moron.
