My secondhand understanding from people who worked with him on the movie was that he never intended to stay on the show long, even if it had continued.
I suspect casting agents love this guy too much for him to stay put on any series for too long.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

That's how I feel about Tudyk. I have too much love for him.
I'm totally jealous that Madrigal gets to hang out with John H., and that John H. gets to hang out with Madrigal.
I have this jealousy also. Also also, Kate P. lives too far away.

Allyson on Whedonesque. Save Firefly. And puppies.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I saw that! Very cool. I was very confused, because I thought someone had posted it ages ago. Then I realized I'd beta-read it way back when. It's a good story, much like all the others I read.
Hey, Kevin, how'd your documentary turn out?

Polter-Cow, I haven't had time or the effort to edit it together yet. It's mostly down to effort. There's a lot of footage, although it really does require a lot of editing. And also, there's so much footage it lacks a clear direction, which is my fault.
Truth be told, I'm totally Serenity'ed out. I really do believe this film took over everything in the last 6 months. There's a fair amount of story I'm not (yet) allowed to post online about it all, as it'd freak out Universal, but I spent a lot of time on the thing in the UK and on SerenityMovie.com.
It opened #1 here. It did well, given the factors. Best performance worldwide.
But man... Am I enjoying kicking back now.
And, by the way, if anybody thinks I've been sucking off Uncle Joss(tm) these last few months.. Really haven't. I can't even remember why I got so involved, other than wanting people to watch what I considered to be a good movie (sorry Allyson ;).
I think I joined the ranks of Allyson in the slightly obsessive, getting a bit annoyed, trying to steer an a strange boat, though..

There's something to be said for lurking in the shadows.

My personal motto for living a happy life - "Never volunteer".
Get it tattooed on the inside of your eyelids Kev.

Hee, yes, volunteering is my weakness. That, and waffles. And cheesecake.
Jars - having fun in Sheffield?

If by 'fun' you mean 'staring at equations wherein the only thing I understand is the equals sign' then, yes, yes I am. Why is there maths in an archaeology course? Why?!
And how are you, good sir? Still working for Teh Man?

Teh Man is spanking me. I'm getting to do actual, you know, work now.
I am thinking of wondering into the world of the Natter topic here, and like, posting about things. Will I get ravaged by Buffistas for being the new kid?
