Brilliant Nathan Fillion, Jewel Staite, and Sean Maher Interview at Wales Comic Con 2023

This is the Firefly panel from Wales Comic Con, with Nathan Fillion, Jewel Staite and Sean Maher. NOTE: There is video in the first half, then audio only (mixed with photos) for the second half.
There was an unfortunate miscommunication over recording for this panel. The general public were asked not to record video, but we were told afterwards the press actually were allowed to record. However, that wasn't communicated to the WCC crew beforehand, so I was asked to turn off the camera in the middle of it... Unfortunate mistake, but these things happen.

I just watched the show with my sons (12 and 14) for the first time and they are blown away by it. They simply can't comprehend why it had been cancelled, so there is a whole new generation scarred for life by that horrific decision.

[@ramakrishna5480]

Castle too cancelled prematurely

[@pokemontas8025]

that's too young for that show 😫

[@kileypaet8221]

Castle had a nice run. Loved it.

[@MetFreak42]

Out Of Gas is still my favorite as well. It gets me choked up and teary every. single. time. ❤ And Yes. Kaylee. Kaylee would lift Thor's hammer without thinking about it, set it beside the engine, then grab a wrench to go fix the power converter, or the compression coil (again).

[@pavlinafrosova8424]

I was at this Commicon in Wales and it was the best and most wonderful experience for me. Seeing and meeting Nathan, Jewel and Sean live was the best experience. Thanks to everyone involved. 💛🥰

Nathan Fillion: "I love how people come up to me at conventions and are like OH MY GOD, YOU'RE OLD!! I'm like, yeah the show was 20 years ago kid."

[@RPortugal06]

I just watched the show for the first time and I am honestly blown away. It’s so good.

[@packgrog]

God I love this cast. They're just such a joy, especially together!

[@cje499]

Loved this panel; Nathan was hilarious 😂

[@nmmknh8997]

Apart from this show just being amazing, I always had a lot of love for it, being named after Kaylee.

[@j.t.2276]

I was in Telford last weekend. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the interview live as I was already on my way back to Germany. Thank you very much for sharing. ❤❤

[@geektown]

You're really welcome!

20 years Later I Still Wear Firefly T Shirts (Still Got A Jayne Shirt In Plastic!!!)

[@Dingdongwitchisdead]

I think if Joss and this cast had complete control over a reboot, I think they could pull it off.

[@GusC672]

Love this! Never had the honor to meet anyone from the crew but I hope to one day!

[@niftyjimmymack]

I had so much fun at this panel.

[@geektown]

They were brilliant!

[@niftyjimmymack]

@Geektown agreed, I was on the front at the far left, and I'd love to know where the video Sean took is.

[@marymustian8863]

Thank yoh for sharing this. ❤

[@greenranger4475]

I love these guys.

[@bobbressi5414]

I love this universe.

[@Trickster1966]

Fantastic, thank you

[@ricardawerner9169]

Thank you for sharing

[@shallendor]

It will always be TOO SOON! Kaylee IS the Princess of Serenity!

[@scottmontgomery528]

Howd you manage to get this when they asked us not to record 😂

[@geektown]

Yeah, I double-checked that with WCC afterwards to make totally sure I was okay posting this. Usually the stage manager will specifically come and tell me directly if I can't record, and they didn't for that one, so I was recording. When I checked afterwards, the Press were actually allowed to record, but the general public were not (I think that was likely so they could easily tell press not to post it if any awkward questions popped up in the panel, whereas they have no control if everyone is recording.) Problem is, they didn't communicate that to the crew on the floor, so one of the crew asked me to turn off the camera halfway through when I should have been able to keep it running. Annoying, but these things happen! However, I record the audio from the stage seperately (and I couldn't get up in the middle of the panel to stop it without causing disruption.) So I had all the audio, but only half of it on video. Hence the reason the video flips to photos halfway through!

[@paiwanhan]

@4:35 Sean should have also dropped the mic like a rapper as well.

[@mildlydazed9608]

I was watching Trash before this video and WOW Nathan's the only one who aged and it's the first time I've noticed times touch upon him.

[@MadastheHatter13]

The captain has seen some real shit.

[@bexactlyyy]

Kaylee found the fountain of youth

[@sicklygreyfoot]

Where's Tudyk, Baldwin, Baccarin?

[@feedthesnake3394]

what will it take to get jewel into the star wars universe?

[@row1landr]

So good, but i miss castle!!!!!!

[@mf-h3659]

the point Nathan makes about season 12 sucking is what ive always said - the US only cancels/stops stuff when it starts sucking or no one watches it anymore. Its never written with a quality end in sight - it just keeps going until it aint worth going anymore (which translates as money stops coming in). Its very different to the UK model where often times a season of something will be pitched because they have enough ideas for a season ~ and thats it ~. Firefly will always like someone who died too soon ... 'they had such potential'. Yeah but also, it stopped on a cliffhanger and was exciting - it never had the chance to run out of ideas and start hooking up every character with every character just to create content *cough*

[@neeladrireddy3068]

It didn't end on a cliffhanger, and it was nowhere close to getting boring. Perhaps in S11 it gets bad, so what?

[@SolelyPhelps]

Will you be posting the Harry Potter Q&A panel from Sunday?

[@geektown]

I wish I could, but they didn't allow filming in that panel, unfortunately.

[@sicklygreyfoot]

And Glau?

[@PHN-2024]

What Happened to the Actress that played the Character of "Kaylee" Face?

[@Oerades]

Surgery...

[@PHN-2024]

@@Oerades Yes! She probably had too many headboard injuries during the Hollywood Casting process that required multiple surgeries to Her Face.

[@Anisozygoptera]

@@Oerades I actually don't think she did. She claims she hasn't had facial surgery, and I believe her. She was like 19 or 20 when they were shooting Firefly, and they asked her to gain a little weight for the role. I think her face just looks a little different because she's 40-ish now and thinner.

[@eddyfromouterspace7308]

I never knew Jewel was asian

[@scottcubed]

too soon.

[@angelolima4811]

House of the dragon is all politics

[@secularnyc666]

It's sad that Jewel appears to have done something to her face.

[@Anisozygoptera]

[@ethanmckinney203]

I'm so sorry that you don't have the opportunity to insult her for having wrinkles.

[@Critter145]

?!?! ?!?!

[@Phoebe-h3d]

Please Juwel ,stop with the Botox. Your Beautiful,but it s too much

[@paulsmith8510]

Im glad someone else said it. Its jarring.

[@Pferdesalami]

I would take you in a manly fashion
