Nathan...our Captain...Bill Pardy...it's all shiny! Anytime we can link up any of the cast's new projects with a mention of Firefly, it's another small but vital step on the road to bringing our Captain and our crew back to the screen - small or big. (As someone's already said!)
Glad to hear someone else is a Slither fan, Anonymous1. Deer wrestling. Shouldn't it be an Olympic event?
I'll be watching Nathan's new project no matter how many episodes they air.

Glad they left that scene out of the movie. Did ya see all the SLiTHER DVD extras. Lots of Nathan in the extras. Very funny stuff. Including the commentary with Nathan and Director James Gunn. I'm hoping the White Noise: The Light people gave Nathan a camera to film backstage stuff too and that Nathan does that commentary too. And on Drive too!

'Drive' time for Fillion at Fox
By Nellie Andreeva
Dec 15, 2006
Quote:
Nathan Fillion has been tapped as the lead on Fox's midseason drama series "Drive."
The show, from 20th Century Fox TV and executive producers Tim Minear, Ben Queen and Greg Yaitanes, chronicles an underground race across America.
Fillion will play Alex Tully, a charming, rogue landscaper who is coerced into joining the race to search for his wife who had been abducted.
In the original pilot, the role was played by Ivan Sergei.
Fillion's casting in "Drive" stems from the talent holding deal the actor inked with Fox and 20th TV in October (HR 10/17).
Fillion, who is friends with Minear, was first approached with the project in the spring but couldn't do the pilot because of a scheduling conflict with the filming of his feature "White Noise 2: The Light," slated for release Jan. 5.
"I was a little disappointed because Tim is a friend, and there is nothing better than working with people you know and like," Fillion said.
At a barbecue this summer, after the pilot was shot but before Fox picked it up to series, Minear again floated the idea for "Drive" to Fillion and showed him the pilot.
"I was so excited about it," Fillion said of his first reaction to the tape. "He has some really talented actors lined up in it, and it's exciting to get to meet them and work with them."
In addition to "White Noise 2," Fillion will soon appear in the indie "Waitress," which is set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.
Fillion, whose credits also include the series "Two Guys and a Girl" and "Firefly" and the features "Serenity" and "Slither," is repped by the Gersh Agency and 3 Arts Entertainment.
mentions Firefly and Serenity!

An underground cross-country race starring the Cap'n? Hummm, I hope I can remember how to turn off the F*x Blocker so I can see it before it's canceled.

How many Jaynes does it take to change a light bulb?
Two. One to try to put it in and another to find a bigger hammer.

The first article, from EW mentions heartland, Morena's new show.
-Stay Shiny
"The people who made the show, and the people who saw the show, which is roughly the same number of people, fell in love with it, a little bit too much to let it go, too much to lay down arms when when the battle looked pretty much lost. In Hollywood, people like that are called unrealistic, quixotic, obsessive... In my world, they're called Browncoats."

— TNT is in talks to add two series to its growing roster of original dramas. One, Grace, stars Holly Hunter as an Oklahoma City cop whose world-weary outlook gets a jolt by a visit from an angel; the other, Heartland, is a medical drama starring Treat Williams as a heart-transplant surgeon. (Hollywood Reporter, 12/13)

This is totally analogous to a standing ovation at a concert - waiting for the act to come back on stage for another round. The difference here is that Firefly fans are enduring a 4 year standing ovation with no intentions on letting up!

Yup, it's exactly like that. And I'd endure another 4 more if necessary. These folks are THAT good!
