[edit] Pronunciation of Fillion's name.

Does anyone know the proper pronunciation of his last name, without giving me IPA that I don't recognize? I've been pronouncing it "FILL-ee-on", just want to know if that's in the right ballpark, as opposed to a more French Canadian pronunciation of "FEE-on". - dharmabum (talk) 10:57, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Never mind, just watched a Firefly commentary, it's "Fill-EE-on". - dharmabum (talk) 06:47, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jubal Early

Didn't the commentary just say that Nathan just mentioned it casually? Nathan does like to make jokes of things that's why I'm a little cautious. Also, because he thinks he is doesn't make it true. I'm a genealogist by hobby and people like to say "I'm related to such and such" and think they are but turns out to be a family legend. -plange 15:07, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Slither

Is the mentioning of Slither being a box-office bomb really necessary for Nathan's page? Spiria 01:09, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Did you perchance notice that it was the 183rd highest grossing worldwide release of 2006? It's a Wikipedia article, not a press release from his agent. Xfpisher 17:17, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Let's not add his MySpace info

He's got some 3000 friends already, and he has only posted three blog entries, so new "friends" wouldn't get much out of the experience except spam. If someone really wants to find the info, it's there on various fansites. Zora 07:17, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

His myspace caption next to his photo currently says "Yes, it's really me. Check your Wikipedia and stop asking." Should we tell him Wikipedia's not a WP:RS? ;) -- Jeandré, 2007-01-08t19:26z
Actually his blog posts are pretty funny and you can only read them if you are a friend, so I think you would get more if you were a friend than just spam. I don't check myspace very often unless I get an email saying someone posted something, so it is worth it... --plange 22:44, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kappa Alpha Society Alumnus

Could the main contributor to this page add that he was a member of the Kappa Alpha Society while attending the University of Alberta? 129.128.198.223 09:26, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Drive

This line has me confused: "In October of 2006 Fillion signed a talent holding contract with the Fox Broadcasting Company; he is slated to star in a television series yet to be developed [6]."

Isn't Drive the "yet to be developed" (at that point) television series?

[edit] Eighth source

the eighth source thing leads to a message of a Drive hater on the FOX forum. Is it supposed to lead to the forums themselves, or did someone just vandelize this?

[edit] Pasadena

He's listed as being on Pasadena in 2005. Those episodes were originally produced in 2001, but didn't air until 2005, as the show only got four episodes broadcast during its initial run and he showed up in like, episode ten. I'm torn as to if the date should be changed and listed lower on his filmography. Thoughts? Dirtysocks 01:13, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] fox contract

there is a mention of fox having a talent holding contract but he is now on DH on ABC. how? did the contract end or get nullified? more info would help the confusion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.67.184 (talk) 01:21, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Best known for..."

Before I get mobbed, let me qualify this by saying that I'm a die-hard Firefly fan. Now, while I think everyone's favorite Browncoat is best loved (by the cool people, of course) for his role in Firefly, isn't it conceivable that he's probably better known for his roles on Desperate Housewives, Lost, or (god forbid) One Life to Live, three shows that have had a much larger audience than Firefly ever did? --Wolf530 (talk) 04:42, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

In principle, we should never say "best known" unless we have a source to back it up. In the absence of a central statistical database of recognition ratings, this probably means citing a reliable source that says "best known". I see that AniMate has already removed the "best" from the lead sentence, which is one reasonable solution to your valid concern. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:36, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
