Nathan Fillion should not have said that.

Wow. I managed to upset myself.

Watching some news-ish show shot at ComicCon. They were interviewing Nathan Fillion. Apparently he was the captain of the Firefly which was some show done by the Buffy people when Buffy started to suck (or maybe what caused Buffy to suck toward the end). He's also Rick Castle on the drama show called Castle.

He said that he was also in this movie where the guy thinks he's been given superpowers by the holy church and [blah plugging the movie.]

He said it's been 8 years since Firefly and the fans still love him. That the fans are so polite and nice. Then he turns to the audience and says, "God bless you all."

I am very upset. In a place picketed by the Kansan assholes, the ones claiming that they know what the common God prefers (hatred), there's this dude implying a cohesive message. Did he mean to do that? Should we all boycott Nathan Fillion for being an honorary member of the Kansan Asshole League (now with chapters in all 50 states)?

Firefly began after Buffy and Angel ended.

Why assume that Fillion means a particular god?

Also, FWIW, Fillion is Canadian, not USian.

Jeez. Not everyone who believes in the xtian god is like those phelps freaks. Nathan was raised Catholic, believe me, the phelps freaks add his name to the list of people who will burn in hell (they haet Catholics).

Actually it overlapped with both (when Firefly was canceled JW then hired Fillion for that final awful season of Buffy). Some people do think that he took his eye off the ball to make Firefly and Buffy never really recovered from it. I think his heart may not have been in that last season. I was glad that Angel was strong to the end, though. Just late night two cents!

Ah, I'd forgotten.

Thank you. I wasn't going to respond to the comment you answered because I was just going to upset myself again.

I knew she was wrong about the lack of overlap.
