The cross-pollination of Firefly and Desperate Housewives
The new season of Desperate Housewives has brought a new family to the neighborhood, whose husband/step-father character is played by none other than Firefly's Nathan Fillion (who played Mal Reynolds). This has brought me no small measure of entertainment, especially in scenes where it's relevant that the character is a gynecologist.

Watching episodes of Firefly today, I had a similar moment when I realized the Alliance Commander in "Bushwhacked" is played by Doug Savant, who plays the husband of one of the four Housewives (Tom, for them's that watch DH but are bad with names).

Nathan Fillion also played a gynecologist (well, ob/gyn) in the excellent movie Waitress.

Ooh. I had kind of wanted to see that when it was out, but was unable to persuade anyone to see it with me since really my main reason for being interested was that he was in it.

There is a wonderful scene in the recent Halloween episode where the knocked-up teenager's water breaks at the neighborhood party. They decide the baby's coming too quickly to get to the hospital, so Nathan Fillion's character, still decked out as Frankenstein's monster, gets dragooned into delivering the baby.

Seeing this reminds me of this story arc from Home on the Strange. Give me that old time religion indeed.
