“I hate Serenity, I hated Firefly, I think my fans are stupid and Nathan Fillion smells like turnips.”

21 December 2005


Looks like the internet has done bad again. EW is reporting that Joss has given up on the whole Firefly ‘verse, and the story is busy whizzing around webland, only, well, it isn’t true. Merely quotes taken out of context. I don’t know about you, but I’m shocked, I mean, articles being written where people’s meaning got twisted. This never happens, never, on the internet, or in MSM for that matter.

So Joss posted on Whedonesque.com and said:

All right, now I have to jump in and set the record straight. EW is a fine rag, but they do take things out of context. Obviously when I said I had ‘closure’, what I meant was “I hate Serenity, I hated Firefly, I think my fans are stupid and Nathan Fillion smells like turnips.” But EW’s always got to put some weird negative spin on it. But so we’re clear once and for all: If you read a quote saying “I’d love to do more in this ‘verse with these actors in any medium” all I’m saying is that Nathan has a turnipy odor. It’s not his fault, he doesn’t eat a lot of them but everyone else in the cast noticed it and tht’s not really something I’m prepared to deal with any more. And Jewel said outright she wouldn’t do scenes with him except stuff like the SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER funeral scene which was outside in a high SPOILER wind. So if I do manage to find another incarnation for my beloved creation, it will have been totally against my will.

I hope that clears everything up. Oh, and when I say I want to do a Spike movie, it means I have a bunion on my toe.
