Zoe left Wash with the others, insisting it was her fight, but the Browncoats used Wash against Zoe, putting him in a cage to pressure her to join them. Wash is also known to have got caught up with the crew in an attempt by a group of Browncoats to rekindle the war. He refused to leave Serenity, though, despite the rival Captain offering him more money to join him. He denied her, saying he had a "beautiful wife who can kill me with her pinky." Īt one point, another Captain attempted to recruit Wash. However, he does prove his loyalty when Saffron, a young woman posing as Mal's wife in order to take over the ship, attempted to seduce him by telling him the myth of Earth-That-Was and how the stars joined it. The two had a passionate and strong relationship, despite Wash's occasional concern over Zoë's strong personality and her tendency to assume the more aggressive, traditionally male role in the marriage, a concern compounded by Zoë's fierce loyalty and devotion to Mal. Theirs could be said to be an odd pairing, given that Zoë's first impression of Wash was one of immediate dislike and distrust. Fittingly, the “Watch How I Soar” comic shows a tree growing out from his grave. He and Zoe honeymooned on Windcrest, and Wash jokingly said they should open a bed and breakfast there and she could bury him under a big tree near the lake. Wash accepted Mal's offer, and in the course of time, fell in love with and eventually married Reynolds' second-in-command, Zoë. His skills as a pilot grew, and by the time Wash met Malcolm Reynolds, his reputation had grown to the point where he was actively courted by multiple captains in search of a good pilot (Mal tells Zoë that Wash has a list of recommendations "as long as leg" when Zoë expresses her dislike of Wash). Wash then traveled widely, visiting odd worlds where, for example, juggling goslings was the principal form of recreation. Universe offered Wash his services whenever they were needed. In order to buy Wash's silence (and save himself from a threat of bodily injury at the hands of Wash), Mr. Universe, Wash' friend in flight school, was top of the class, since he hacked the records. He became a pilot in part to see the sky beyond his home.

It’s a movie I quote often, despite knowing few of the people I talk to have seen it, because it’s filled with more lines containing valuable life lessons than just about anything else out there.
#I am a leaf on the wind watch how series#
Joss Whedon’s 2005 big-screen continuation of the stories begun in his short-lived but critically-acclaimed series “Firefly,” it has all the hallmarks fans enjoyed from the writer/director: Snappy dialogue, deep and interesting characters and a premise that was wholly unique. If there’s a single movie I regularly hope is rediscovered and enjoyed for just how great it is, it’s Serenity.
