We had to wake Nathan up from his alcoholic stupor to tell him the good news.

When it was announced that I was going to be on 'Castle,' there were immediate messages on all the TV news sites from 'Firefly' fans hoping for a nod to the series - some encrypted business just for them! I can't promise that, but I can say that a few people out there might get a thrill.

The news this week is that the trend has stayed the same.

Our issue is that we didn't issue the permit or inspect the site, ... We saw the basin on the news, and saw the application on the desk for that. When we saw the mudslide, we knew something had to be done.

'Serenity' is a continuation of where we left off. It's a continuation of the 'Firefly' stories,

a nice splinter but an annoying one.
