Fancy Axolotl


Cool things, strange things, interesting things, pretty things, nerdy things and my opinions of things.

I disagree. Whedon takes us on the same emotional journey as Zoe goes through. At first, there’s no time to grieve. The death seems unreal, and there’s no time yet to make it real - they have to keep fighting. Later, in the funeral scene, is when both Zoe and the audience finally have time to grieve for the man she (and they) loved. Joss didn’t use the usual tactic of slow motion and sad music (as Wash died, anyway), he went a more realistic route, and I love him all the more for that.

    I don’t hate Joss for it but having a joke pop up two minutes after his death made me extremely uncomfortable.

    To be honest, I didn’t start crying until the funeral. I got swept up in all the action between the two scenes.
