The death scene is quite affecting I have to say. Funny how that observation about Spock I made earlier has ingrained itself after 16 years. Having said this the fact that Spock returns detracts from its impact.<br><br>I wonder if Joss Wehdon can pull the same trick and resurrect Wash and Book in a Serenity sequel? Well, I can dream can't I.. Rewatched Khan for the first time in years last night. The death scene is quite affecting I have to say. Funny how that observation about Spock I made earlier has ingrained itself after 16 years. Having said this the fact that Spock returns detracts from its impact.

I wonder if Joss Wehdon can pull the same trick and resurrect Wash and Book in a Serenity sequel? Well, I can dream can't I..

An officer and a gentleman til the end.<br><br>(Ain't I fickle!?)

It's the same with any film you just know is going to leave you an emotional wreck afterwards...like The Wrath of Khan, for example.
