I guess one shouldn't even speculate, given only such a wee crumb of information/hearsay -- but the lead failing to attend a wrap party that the rest of the cast went to, if that is indeed what happened, does come across as a big snub to me. Not big with the class. But, as I said, hush my mouth -- not fair to speculate on so little info.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Joss specifically reponded to that comment in the big IGN Film Force article whose link I don't have handy. Not that he says anything particularly striking or inflammatory, but he was definitely familiar with that comment.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
a quick search and ....
IGNFF: There was a recent interview that came out with Freddy Prinze, Jr. ...
WHEDON: The thing about the nonsense? He was quoted as saying, "Sarah had to deal with a lot of nonsense," and I was like, "Okay, Fred. I never saw you on set, so I'm not really sure what you're referring to, but bless ya. Bless ya. By the way, I still know what you did last summer, buddy."

Who is Seinfeld?
Catching up and noticed that no one answered Allan. Seinfeld was an extremely popular American sitcom about a comedian (Jerry Seinfeld) living in NYC. He played "himself". It stood out with a radically different sensibility from any other Amercian sitcom I've seen. It's original premise was that it was "a show about nothing". One early episode, for instance, took place entirely in a Chinese restaurant while the main characters waited endlessly for a table. Another took place in a multi-level indoor car park while the main characters searched unsuccessfully for their car. Although later episodes had plots that could be described as Altman-esque (multiple storylines that interweave in unexpected ways), it never lost it's edge (IMO, I'm sure others will disagree).
One of the main characters, George, worked for the New York Yankees. An actor, playing George Steinbrenner's back (we never saw his face) was a recurring character.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'd call it a show people either loved or hated. I was in the latter group -- I just never got it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hated it all.
Thought it was clever but unengaging.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Another in the hated it category. It was a show about people I would hate if I ever met them in real life, and it didn't give me a reason not to hate them in fiction, either.
And I never saw the point in paying attention to people I hate; even laughing at, not with, people like that is a waste of my time.

I think you were more likely to love it if you were a New Yorker.
