Doesn't. All it proves is that EvilDead1971 is an idiot.

Acutally I've read up about this before, its just a few of the people over at NCsoft (creators of Guild Wars) are Browncoats so they named a character after Kaylee but Joss Whedon playing GW doesn't have any relation to this.

More Guild Wars references to Firefly:
Vekka's (some GW character) say's, "I can kill you with my brain" and "Now you're my kind of stupid" are homages to Firefly, the original quote being from River Tam and Malcolm Reynolds.

An item named Vera is a Unique item dropped by Jayne Forestlight in The Eternal Grove (Explorable).This item is a reference to the gun "Vera," owned by the character Jayne Cobb from the television series Firefly.

You can't stop the Sigma. But you can ignore it.

According to Wikipedia, Guild Wars is AF. (Anno Fluffy) 2005; so I'm thinking Joss invented Firefly before he saw/played Guild Wars. :)

That don't mean Joss weren't inspired by nuttin'. Alien 4 leaps to mind (The Betty and crew); and the whole Harper/Wash thingy from Andromeda (which, in one of the earlier episodes, also has a main character called "Kaylee"). Ain't nothing wrong with that, either, btw. It's what binds all great artists: they see the potential for something great in the mundane, whereas others allow it to move on unnoticed.

Well, Joss wrote the original script for Alien4, so I guess it's self-referential rather than plagiarism. (But Ron Perlman is definitely a Cobb - one of the up-country cousins.)

Anyway, you can see Firefly anywhere, you look hard enough. I personally find a lot of oddly familiar things in Torchwood/Dr Who.

And did I read somewhere that some of our BDH's have in-joke voice overs in Halo?

@ASARIAN:

I'm not sure if you're aware that criticizing someone for being rude while at the same time being rude yourself doesn't exactly allow you to retain the "high ground."

I cannot abide baseless conjecture. And jumping from a character in a game named a common enough name to "i think joss played guild wars"...

Quite frankly, the only real thing that could be said about my post was that it as too harsh. Other than that these things really need to be called out for what they are. Everyone saying everyone else's stuff/comments/etc is good, or not saying anything at all, is one of the big problems with (fan) communities i.e. quality goes down the crapper when anything and everything is accepted (as gold). Certainly, if people were more critical (constructively) of incoming stuff we'd have less of it. But, what we have would be of much higher quality. And I'm the type of person who values quality over quantity.

And yes, everything I've been involved in, FF/S or not, I've actively sought (and given) input at every turn. It has certainly improved the quality of the output and helped mitigate "feature creep." We all have "neural misfires" from time to time. To think and work otherwise is rather... unwise.

At any rate, I've digressed and need sleep.
