Wow, with connections to both Wonderfalls and Firefly... and it's on Fox, it's pretty much pre-cancelled.

The pilot has already been shot, but with another actor, Ivan Sergei. Nathan is replacing him in the series, which probably has the typical thirteen episode initial order from Fox. How many of those thirteen actually air (or are even produced) will be determined by ratings.

I just wish I had a Nielsen box or diary so that what I watch actually mattered.

Hey anonymous1, there's something I've been meaning to mention for a while. Why is it that on a Firefly site you feel it necessary to identify Nathan Fillion as "Our Captain" each time you post something? If anyone around here doesn't know who Nathan is by now they have serious problems.

Yeah, I don't know if it's unreasonable optimism or what, but when will Tim give up? Or better yet, least work with a real network?

Call me crazy, but I'm starting to not like F*X.

O.k. people, this is our chance to plague EW with e-mails.

letters@ew.com

Possible comments:
Why wasn't this in the print magazine?
Pictures are always appreciated.
We love our Captain.
Wouldn't our Nate make a great Indy Jones?
Did you hear about Flan-that-wasn't?

We may even have a chance to make obsessive fan of the week as a group. Browncoats.

Seriously, my friend turned the Christian Bale fans into an e-mailing machine and EW started pushing his career. Now he's Batman.

So even though the forum I posted under is titled GENERAL DISCUSSIONS. It actually says on the COMMUNITY page that it is "General Discussions
General discussions and comments relating to Firefly." So I got in the habit of apologizing for posting Nathan non-Firefly info by including (Our Captain) in the subject. So if someone got mad at me posting some SLiTHER info...I would reply back "It's for Our Captain." Now I just like typing it. On a SLiTHER part of the internet, I post Nathan (Our Sheriff) Fillion stuff...cause they might not know what (Our Captain) meant.

And Nathan is Our Captain. He is as big a fan of Firefly/Serenity as we are. See all the posts about him showing up at the Cancelled Flanvention.

Note I even felt it necessary to add "mentions Firefly" to the subject of this post "EW.com Deal Report on Nathan (Our Captain) Fillion's Drive deal--mentions Firefly!!!" And Whoo-hoo! Post made the news section!!

"Why wasn't this in the print magazine?"

I think we should at least wait until the next issue comes out. I don't think the news was public soon enough for the last issue. Or maybe says please put info in print with pics. WE LOVE MAGAZINES WITH PICS OF NATHAN. COLLECTORS ITEMS!!!

"We may even have a chance to make obsessive fan of the week as a group. Browncoats."

Is that a section on their website or in the magazine? Like really?
