    Nathan Fillion talks about the likelihood of a Firefly reboot and the controversies of different characters being involved in it coming back...
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Nathan Fillion (Castle, The Rookie) returns to the show this week to reflect back on tenured success across multiple serieses like Castle and The Rookie, along with cult adoration in Firefly and Serenity, leading us to discuss what’s next and what the escape plan is once his run in Hollywood is done. Nathan shares his secret for positivity in life and his freedom of being in a position to say no rather than taking roles out of need. We also talk about how adversity brings out one’s true colors, rumors of Firefly reboots, and his experience swimming with sharks.

      Nah, that's too tidy. Simon and Kaylee need to have not worked out but still have feelings. Zoe and Wash can't have kids because it would distract from the show too much and add an unnecessary new character that muddles things. It should be Simon having left the ship and becoming a bit less fancy from having to work a hard job in seclusion for years to hide his sister. Inara is off the ship living somewhere in a major planet, but still keeps in touch. River is still River. Jayne left the ship to go work a surprisingly lucrative position, maybe even become the mayor of an outback town. So it's just Zoe, Wash, the Captain and Kaylee running the ship. But something happens that forces them to all get back together, maybe involving the government getting near finding River again.

    WTF Talkville!? That's a great idea. Did not expect it, but I love it.
    Firefly was butchered by the studio (the pilot episode did not make much sense until you've seen the whole show), so I was not surprised when it was canceled. I was also pissed off and sad because it had a sort of swashbuckling vibe of the original Battlestar Galactica, which completely blew my mind when I was 7 to be able to see on TV a space opera that resembled Star Wars. That was the time before VCR to put things in perspective for the kids who grew up with streaming.
    Anyway Michael, I love and respect how you can pose a hard question but leave an opening for the guest to answer in any way he feels comfortable. That's a classy move.

    Nathan Fillion is one of the most under rated/ and under utilized actors in Hollywood. I always wished he could have taken over Star Gate. As a continuation after the original cast. He would of been an amazing team leader to take that franchise further on. Maybe we will see him in the new Warhammer 40K with Henry Cavil. That would blow my mind honestly.

It's like a western in space with Asian elements, which is how I try and explain it to people who haven't watched. It also has such an endearing charm to it that makes it easily re-watchable. The humor is great! It will forever be known as the number one show that was cancelled WELL before it's time. Such a shame! I really loved it.

      @@talynstarburst2l2l2l I could say a lot but if I'm just being honest. I don't believe the actors and actresses insinuating he was a Weinstein. Joss is accused of essentially being mean and that is not a crime certainly not for a director, who's trying to prove himself, deliver a product and working with a very young cast. While trying to deliver a standard. Plus all this seemed very convenient timing, for actresses that no one's seen on screen for a while. Good timing if you wanna get noticed and maybe a job. That's just in Joss's defence. Not too mention as fan of Buffy and all his stuff for years, seeing the behind the scenes all the gushing they do about Joss and now all of a sudden he's horrible doesn't make sense. He also always tried to get his actors and actresses work. Then it didn't work out they now are turning on him. Thankfully Anthony Head, James Masters, Alan Tudik and Nathan Fillion are just saying that's not our experience but more importantly Anthony Head basically said it was bullshit. He actually said on UK tv over here "Where was I when all this was happening I never seen any of that. We all had fun, it was great. This is very sad. I mean Joss was always very kind but he was the director and boss he was under pressure and of course he had to shout, and you know tell us off sometimes. When we weren't listening or playing around. But he's a genius and I'd work with him in a heartbeat again".

Streaming only serves to bolster penetration of an untapped audience thus potentially growing the fan base even further since the series' broadcast run.

    Great shirt, reppin the Whalers 😊 I will forever love everything Whedon has made, no ones perfect, accept people for flaws, dont ignore or forget them, but let people try to change or improve.
