I didn't see a teaser.  When it aired last week, did they include the line to his daughter that his costume was that of a "space cowboy"?  When I saw him enter the room, my first thought was "Hey, it's Captain Mal!"  When his daughter asked what he was dressed as, and he answered with that, it jus

I guess Whedon didn't direct the episode... Fillion did guest star on a couple of Buffy episodes, so there's that. And playing an author, it makes some sense that his character would at least know, if not have, professional jealousy over a successful book series. As for what Dollhouse fanatics
