Joss Whedon likes to do this thing (and he did it both Buffy and Angel) where he can convince the audience that he's going to kill EVERYBODY. He admits that the beginning of Serenity is a step beyond the ending of the series, and that is perhaps just there OOC that Mal doesn't want Simon and River on the boat. But he cites narrative necessity for that, Wash's death, Book's death, and the flashback to Simon breaking River out (which isn't actually directly contradictory to what we know already).
I still really, really want to have the story of Serenity drawn out over a complete season (after a completed first season). In such circumstances we'd know more about Book and Wash would still be alive. And then there could be the full seven seasons and we'd destroy the BlueSun corporation and Zoe'd fall pregnant and, and, and.

There's still new Firefly fic being written.
Break a leg and Chookas for the performance.
