I can't speak for pizmobeach, but I caught sgtgump's reference, being a Farley fan myself. In the skits, Farley winds up calling himself 'stupid!', pounding his forehead and pulling his hair, while the shocked interviewee tries to calm him. I think the stars' reaction to this character was a perfect reflection of the viewers' response to the big, lovable lummox who portrayed him: People instinctively liked Chris, and didn't want him to hurt himself doing crazy stunts. How sad, he had to leave us so soon.

I have often thought Loren Michaels selects comedians whom he thinks are on the road to destruction, so that their deaths may ensure his success. He's in league with the Devil. (Yes, he's a bowler.) The question is: Who's next?

BTW, I love your byline. It's my favorite line from YoSafBridge, and it's delivered so subtly (a non sequitur) that I missed it the first viewing or two...

1. In your original Firefly pilot script, Kaylee was described as "zaftig" (or was it Rubenesque? Either way, she was supposed to be cute an' chunky). Despite Jewel Staite's obvious talent, why couldn't you have flung off Hollywood's preconceived notions of what makes a woman beautiful and sexy and actually cast the role according to what you had first intentioned? That would have been groundbreaking.

Mr. Whedon... in your opinion, what is the likelihood that a primitive culture will be able to withstand cultural and societal assimilation, retaining their own intrinsic system of beliefs, values, and societal morays, after being exposed to the influence of a separate culture whose own society and technological progression has advanced to a degree wherein the first culture's reaction to the technology would be akin to that of Midieval Europe's reaction to the presence of what they perceived to be magic?
