That's okay; I was just being wrong.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
So, on the way home from picking up supplies to make Tim a bday present (because I am cheap) I saw a small sportscar completely engulfed in flame, and not a firetruck or cop in sight. It was throwing off so much heat I could feel it two lanes over on the freeway.
But then, I decided I would like some fresh bread to go with my chicken soup for supper, so stopped at the grocery store. While trying to remember if I needed milk, I overhead a very angry young man having an argument: "...Joss Whedon didn't want it to be that way. Tudyk was allowed to play it like that because Tim Minear said he could."
I have no idea what the fuck he was talking about, but it was so fucking surreal that someone was arguing about Tim next to the dairy case at the Albertsons.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did you check to see if it was actually Tim? Maybe the power has gone to his head, and he's all third person.

No, it was three people, all who looked like...well, I could describe them, but can't do so without being offensive.
Tim, handsome.
These people, not so much.

I ran into the trio again at produce and the dude was still ranting, "....I don't know what movie he EXPECTED to see..."
And I decided I didn't need bananas that much.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Were they reavers?

I dunno. But the dude was just SO MAD.
And it sounded like he was mad at Tim.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
"...Joss Whedon didn't want it to be that way. Tudyk was allowed to play it like that because Tim Minear said he could."

I'd bet it he was talking about Wash being loud and emotive in the pursuit sequence of "The Message" instead of cool and collected as he was in the pursuit sequence of "Serenity."
But yes, certainly something very surreal to overhear at the grocery store.

LA weird.
Now if you were up here in the sane and sensible Valley, they'd have been arguing loudly about their IPO.
