A Word From Our Captain, Nathan Fillion

There are so many people working together to make Serenity. The set, backstage, and basecamp are only a few places buzzing with activity to bring Joss' universe to the fans. Too numerous to mention in a mere Blog, but today, I must raise a glass in appreciation of two people without whom our production would surely crumble. None of us could be here, grinding away all day without Mary and Ernie. You won't see them operating a camera, adjusting wardrobe or creating masterful prosthetics, nor will you find them constructing massive sets or intricate props.

Instead, you will drink their coffee and juices. You'll spoon their fresh fruit onto their cereal (so many choices) and follow it with one of their pastries. You'll feast on their soups and tacos, burgers and sandwiches - all the fuel behind the machine that is Serenity is due to their diligent, loving labors. When moods sink with blood sugar levels, Mary and Ernie only smile whilst we clumsily feast on their ice cream treats. The endless Birthdays present no challenge to them with their equally endless supply of cakes and candles. You have saved me everyday, Ernie. You feed my belly and my heart, Mary.

Thank you so much. From all of us.

Nathan
