I wouldn't have changed it to someone else. I would have kept him alive. The show and movie were so great with everyone. I won't choose, you can't make me. LOL

AgentCoop picked Inara (mal depressed, new tenant?):
Tough one, because I love all these characters, but I have to say I always found Inara the least interesting.

dilly53 picked Zoe (wash becomes depressed, one of crew becomes first mate?):
I'd want Zoe or Simon to go. Probably Zoe, even though Simon is the only character I actually don't like, they need a doctor. At least with Zoe gone they would still have Mal/Jayne/River to kick ass.

fanfly picked Simon (kaylee depressed, river distraught, new medic?):
Simon because he's my least favourite, but still...I love what he brings to the show.

NonNobisSolum picked Zoe (wash becomes depressed, one of crew becomes first mate?):
i'd rather none of them died (joss has said that if he had done another series instead of a movie neither wash or book would have died) but for the purposes of the movie, i would have rather zoe died) - it would mean wash gets the last-stand-with-a-vengance scene, his relationship with mal would be affected (he might blame him for her death), he could be depressed half the time and making jokes the rest of the time (or go into denial and joke-making-hawaiian-shirt-wearing-dinosau­r-f­igh­tin­g-w­ash­-ma­nic­-ov­erd­riv­e) and maybe simon could treat him for depression

river could take zoe's place on the heists, wash would be first mate

besides all that, zoe is just the least interesting character for me, because all the roles she fills could be done by the others, and the zoe/mal team on heists gets a bit repetitive - mix it up a bit and give her the odd flashback - i'd like to see more of the war

I like Simon, don't get me wrong, but he's my least favorite of the bunch.

Same with the people above me. Really though, I would have preferred anyone other than Wash.

disney505218 picked Inara (mal depressed, new tenant?):
It was either Inara or Simon...Inara cause that would have been sad, but she's never been needed much. and Simon because he would sacrifice his life for his sister (who he's always been so obsessed with protecting) :'(

TearsofPearls32 picked Zoe (wash becomes depressed, one of crew becomes first mate?):
Inara is my fav character, so as long as Wash, Mal, and Kaylee were also alright I'd be fine.

El_Citrus picked Inara (mal depressed, new tenant?):
Losing Wash was tough. I would have preferred Inara, but for that to happen, her and Mal would have needed to get together. If it wasn't Wash, it was going to be Zoe, since Joss always breaks couples up. Just...why Wash?!

juniper427 picked Inara (mal depressed, new tenant?):
Losing Inara could have been really romantic. Also Joss hinted that her character had a terminal disease. Her death scene would have been a great time for that to come out as well as her feelings for Mal. It would have been tragic instead of just sudden and depressing.

scrubby21 picked Inara (mal depressed, new tenant?):
yeah like Juniper said she was going to die anyways. Wash added a lot of humour to the show and would rather he hadn't died.

I don't think they would have killed Wash if the series kept going... :(
