Talk about morbid and creepifying! I just went to see Andromeda (the series) again today. And, is it my imagination, or does Andromeda's character Harper look and act eerily like our beloved BDH Wash?? They even have the same mannerisms and all (light sarcasm with overtones of humor). It really floored me! Obviously, I hadn't seen Andromeda since Firefly, but wow.

Way back when Firefly first flew, people (including myself) referred to Wash as "Harper on sedatives."

Maybe if the show had continued, Joss coulda' gotten Gordon Michael Woolvett down there to play either a young Wash or Wash-relative.

Canadian boy. Well most of them were.

They're both the comic relief. But there is one major difference, Wash shares his bed with a very good looking woman.

Sorry, didn't know it was common knowledge. Just freaked me out a bit, is all. "Harper on sedatives" is a perfect description of Wash, btw. :)

For another odd coincidence, Adam Baldwin plays a minor part in Independece Day.
A spoiler to tell when you find him:

He's one of the military tyes (not good with titles) when they show the president what's really in Area 51, somewhere around there, haven't seen it in a while

Ok, now this is getting real spooky. :) In one of the early episodes ("D Minus Zero") I just heard Wa.. Harper say: "Ooooo, shiny!" My hand to God! May he strike me down as I'm standing here! Seriously, this is seriously weirding me out!

But Harper created Rommie--that is quite an accomplishment.

I remember hearing that line from Harper as well - in an odder twist, I can't remember Wash ever saying "Shiny!" Is that possible?

"Crazy Ivan" is also mentioned in Andromeda - !!
