  1. 3:15 “Wash was one wisecracking leaf on the wind that soared into our hearts.”Not to be confused with the Reavers’ spear that soared into Wash’s heart.

  2. Not that I’m a huge fan of either character, but I find it weird that Firefly’s Wash got a place on the list but Buffy’s Xander only got an honorable mention…seeing as their shows were made by the same person, Xander came first, and Wash’s actor himself described Wash as “Space Xander.”
