I hadn't read this one before:

"To Serenity...and Beyond"
http://www.unfiction.com/~tienle/firefly.html

The author brings up something I hadn't even considered:

Quote:

Most dangerous character: Badger. He's been on Serenity and gotten a good long look at Simon and River, plus he reads the bulletins on the Cortex. How long before he gets greedy and decides to cash in?

Sadly, the actor who plays Badger passed away. Should be interesting to see what sort of effect this has on Firefly if it sees the light of day again....

Say what? We exchanged emails before the holidays. And, in fact, he was last on this site on November 11th. So what happened?

BTW, we interviewed him once:

I'm sorry, I don't remember much about it, but I do remember seeing some sort of site memorializing him...it was less than a month ago, that's for sure.

I could be wrong, it was very late at the time, and I apologize if I'm wrong (I hope that I am)

I remember it was MONTHS before I knew Kevin Smith (The one who played Ares on Xena) was killed, so it might take a while to filter through the news. Not sure...

IMDB says the actor's name is Mark Sheppard and it doesn't indicate that he's dead.

Are you possibly thinking of Glenn Quinn, who played Doyle on "Angel"? He did pass away quite recently.

didn't kevin smith(of xena) die in febuary of last year? if Mark Sheppard(badger) died before that I don't think he would have been able to shoot any episodes of firefly or any of the movies he has coming out soon.

what single solitary piece of evidence do you have to support your theory? Way to go, genius! Thanks. Mark A Sheppard. (Badger)

Mr. Sheppard,

Oh Thank God! You're here. I almost went into a mild heart attack reading that second post. Whew!

P.S. I'm praying for you and the rest of the cast and crew of "Firefly" to 'keep on flyin.'
