Nathan Fillion excerpt from the Toronto Star
"We were kind of actually living the Firefly life, kind of a united front against a common enemy. It did kind of brings us together. We still chat on the phone, crank call each other ... We still all hang out together. I'm still in touch with the sound crew guys, the camera crew guys, the prop guys, the cast. We're still all in touch. Thick as thieves.

"The sets are gone, though. One of the doors ... the fellas that did our special effects, and won an Emmy for them, they did a little Firefly move on their own and stole one of the doors and installed it in their office."

"I have the rubber replica of my gun — the gun itself cost $9,000, so they wouldn't let me keep that. But I've got the rubber replica we used when I was doing stunt stuff."

Nathan Fillion excerpt from the Toronto Star
From the very beginning, Fox network executives didn't get the concept — essentially, a low-tech science-fiction series with western overtones and an Eastern accent — and Whedon was deluged with notes and edicts as to how it should be changed and improved.

"That's where it turns into guesswork for me," Fillion allows. "I don't know the whys and the wherefores ... I know it's just a bunch of people trying to do what's best, and trying to keep the network on the air, and trying to make lots of money. I do have my wishes, of course. I wish it would have had a little more of a chance.

"But if its destiny was to be cancelled, then to be a DVD collection, then hopefully a movie, I'm in for that.

"I don't have any ill will toward Fox. I had a really great time. But I do feel as though I have unfinished business there."

The word on the movie is good, he says.

"The last rumour I heard, and from reliable sources, is that it's still moving in a very positive direction ... a negative direction being either it's not going, or it's not going forward. The last thing that I heard was that things were still looking good. I'm very hopeful. I'm hoping that whoever is in charge of making the decision — which is now Universal, who bought the rights — I'm hoping that they're looking at how excited people are about the DVD, and realize that there may be a market for this (as a movie)."

Did he manage to salvage any souvenirs himself?

"I have the rubber replica of my gun — the gun itself cost $9,000, so they wouldn't let me keep that. But I've got the rubber replica we used when I was doing stunt stuff.

"I've got a handful of Alliance money, some of the gold food bricks from the first episode, T-shirts, mugs, Malcolm Reynolds' criminal record ..."
