I hear Fillion's on a rolling contract at ABC. He might like playin' preachers.
It would be like reprising that role he played in the beagle episode of Buffy that Tim wrote.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
The Beagle Killer? I had wiped that episode from my mind. It was sick shit.

It's my favorite episode! I love the part where the beagle uses the salad shooter on the cilantro.

Gah! That was degrading to beagles!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Gawd, then we had those awful Beaglettes threatening to send thousands upon thousands of stuffed beagles to Tim.

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
I'm just stoked that Tim gets to create god.
I need to withdraw from the handwringing at Whedonesque, where I constantly feel the need to say, "I am sure Tim will be fine. I'm sure Tim won't be writing Touched by an Angel. I am sure that Tim doesn't think that Christians/Jews/Buddhists/Muslims own god and all known subsidiaries thereof. I am sure that Tim won't preach morals at you. I am sure that the fox network is not the fox studio. I am sure that the sky is not falling."
Because? Fandom, it handwrings.

Tim, are you writing this show for me?
ha! One of my first thoughts when I read the premise was "Cindy is going to FLIP OUT!"

Well, it handwrings less than Drive and The Inside from memory. Most people appear sold on the concept this time, whereas there was a surprising amount of negative reaction to Drive's concept. Not that Whedonesque is representative of The American Public, of course.

That's not a regular gig, though, is it? Just a recurring role or something like that?
Unsure. The article I read didn't say.

Puh-lease. Has anyone seen anything he's written or read any of his interviews? I didn't like Touched by a Highway to Heaven either, but this show looks like it will absolutely ROCK. I mean, anyone who could write The Beagle Killer on Buffy, could never mess this one up.
Oh, and by the way, I love Cindy. Love.
And, I would not hate having Nathan Fillion on this show. Nope, I could live with that ok. Not saying he has time or inclination or anything. Just that it would make me happy. And since this show is clearly all about making me and Cindy happy...
