The Semi-Triumphant Return of Captain Mal
Remember a couple of weeks ago when I posted that pic from Nathan Fillion’s new TV show Castle, where he dressed as his beloved Firefly character Mal for the Halloween episode? Here’s his grand entrance in his space cowboy duds, complete with getting shit from his daughter for wearing that same costume “like, five years ago.” I’m sorry it’s a Hulu video, and thus unavailable to foreign Topless Roboteers, but alas, this was big enough I had to post iot anyways. If I find an international-friendly version of the video, I’ll replace it post haste. Also, last but not least? Nathan Fillion, you are a fucking delight. Don’t ever change.
