I was at the NYCC Battlestar Galactica special event this saturday where the great Kevin Smith was the moderator. James Callis (Baltar) was dicussing the amazing CGI on the show, and mentioned a scene where Mary is standing in front of a window with spaceships flying by outside. Someone in the audience instantly shouted "Serenity", which caused a lot of the Whedon fans in the audience to do the same.
Callis did not understand, and replied that he wouldn't know because had never seen the show, to which Smith replied "Dude, you don't want to fuck with the Browncoats. They're cheering a show that's not even on".
Also Tricia Helfer (Six) mentioned that she used to date Nathan during the Firefly filming and that she was one of us.
The BtVS panel prior to BSG was less memorable..

Think we need to find out who Mr Callis's agent is and get a DVD box set sent to him.

Somebody might have also mentioned that ZOIC Studios produce BSG's "amazing CGI" effects, as they did for Firefly/Serenity. BSG owes a lot to Firefly, I reckon...

P.S.
That Nathan Fillion is the luckiest s.o.b. on the face of the planet... And how/why does one tell The Exquisite Trish, "Sorry, babe, but it's just not working out. I'm gonna have to let you go"?!? 'Course, she might've been the one who pulled the plug on the 'dating'... Nah. That's just nonsense thinking.

That is a GREAT story! Thanks for passing it on. Sure wish I could have been there. Don't suppose there was anyone recording it?
And does anyone have any connections to James Callis' agent, and volunteer to get him a boxset?

But my question is: Has Kevin Smith seen Firefly or Serenity yet?
