Inspired by yesterday’s Twit-run<\/a> of Serenity<\/em>\/Veronica Mars<\/em>\/Wonderfalls<\/em>\/Brisco County Jr.<\/em> crossover fanfic, here are three notable encounters I’ve had with Firefly<\/em> people and the lessons we can take away from them.<\/p>\n

1. Whilst interviewing Gina Torres and Kerry Washington in tandem, I asked Gina if there was any Serenity 2<\/em> on the horizon. “No Serenity 2<\/em>,” she said, smiling kindly. “Not enough people showed up for the first one.” “I went twice!” I blurted out. “Oh my God!” yelled Kerry Washington. “I did, too! And I own it — not the bootleg, the real<\/em> copy.” Lesson: Kerry Washington loves Firefly<\/em>! That gal at Comic-Con? The one who you thought was just wearing a “movie version Alicia Masters” costume? That was really her!<\/p>\n

2. At the Slither<\/em> premiere\/press screening (yes, it was a strange hybrid of the two), was introduced to Alan Tudyk by friend Jenelle<\/a>. While talking to The Man Who Was Wash (no, I have no recollection of what was said), a strange lady was walking by, spotted him and stopped abruptly in her tracks. “Anthony!” she exclaimed. “Er, no,” said he. “Oh,” she said, looking confused. “Anthony Rapp<\/a>,” he said. “Happens all the time. But I’m not him.” “Oh<\/em>,” she said, giving him Gimlet Eye. She totally did not believe him! And was probably making plans to dismantle her “Seasons of Love…FOR MARK COHEN!!!” fanpage as soon as she got home. Lesson: I always get “hey, you look like Ugly Betty, has anyone very TOLD YOU THAT BEFORE?” Apparently, famous people get another version of that and it is way more obnoxious.<\/p>\n

3. This one is short. One time I shook Nathan Fillion’s hand and told him I thought he was pretty awesome. “Thank you very much,” he said, then did something like a wink. Yet better than a wink, if that makes sense. Lesson: Nathan Fillion = so cute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
