Last night was the annual Halloween episode of the Simpsons, and there was a possible Firefly reference! You know how the cast/crew always give themselves funny "Halloweeny" names in the credits on the Halloween specials? Well, one guy (I don't remember his name, but if someone has it Tivo'd, let me know) had his name as Blank "Reavers!" Blank. I was so excited I didn't catch what the first and last name was.

Don't squat with your spurs on.

Gorram it I missed that and this is the first time in years I didn't tape the darn thing.

I was wondering if I imagined that! I was wracking my brain to see if it could possibly refer to something else. But I guess it would make complete sense that some of the Simpsons crew would be fans.

I downloaded the show via bitorrent at suprnova.dot.org - it's 'Co-Executive Producer Don "Reavers!" Payne' in the introduction (time 1:41) AND, as an extra bonus, one of the Animation Executive Producers is listed as 'John "Badger" Hyde' (time 21:17).

My husband swears it can't be a firefly reference, but you can all guess what I think.

That kicks so much ass :P

well 'Badger' could refer to something else (but I don't know what)
but surely 'Reavers' HAS to be a Firefly reference...
errrrr, unless it refers to:

but why not Firefly? These guys who write Simpsons
would be fans of the great Joss Whedon!
