I'm surprised too, Allyson. I've seen nary a spoiler. Of course I haven't looked either.
Firefly Spoilers
Discussion of all Firefly episodes, including "Trash", "The Message", "Heart of Gold", and any movie news.
There is a long time to go and lots more opportunities for it to get out. I hope Joss wrote the master version in invisible ink or some high tech alternative.
It's gotta be out. Though I'm unsure if there's the rabid need for spoilers the way there was for Buffy and Angel.
Do you think that Serenity fans are more spoilerphobic or just smaller in numbers?
Allyson, there's an unspoilery review (believe it or not) at AICN. I don't know what Joss is holding over people's head that somewhere like AICN would post a script review without revealing plot points.
AICN script review. He's quite assiduous about being unspoilery.
He does post one Mal/Wash exchange -- Wash still seems huggable.

Smaller in numbers, haven't been around nearly as long. I still think of them as a fandom in its infancy that was sort of hobbled by the quick demise of the show.
It should be noted that I'm terribly biased toward the Buffy fandom, crazy as they make me.

Of course you are but, you never seem to slight the Firefly fandom.
Thanks for that.
Do people usually slight the fandom? I often wonder if the Firefly fandom feels like the bastard step-child of the Whedonverse fandoms.
I think of Firefly as Joss' favoritist child, the baby.
The fandom never got the attention that Buffy fans received in the beginning, when Joss was younger, had more hair on his head and less on his face, and was less busy.
I do have serious eye-roll moments with the Firefly fandom, though not the blind rage I feel toward the Buffy/Angel fandoms.
But I get my share of blind rage and eye-rolls directed at me, so we're all probably even.
Thanks for posting the link to interview with person-whose-presence-could-conceivably-be-considered-a-spoilier-for-rabid-spoiler-phobes. I've been vaguely following his career since he had a huge amount of acclaim for a play at the National a few years ago, and I really enjoyed the interview. Although it made me cry, actually. Stupidly. Inasmuch as one can like these people whom one doesn't know at all, I find myself liking him enormously.
I'm very happy he's going to be in Serenity.
