Fillion’s attempt to laugh off the drama at the end of the series coupled with his inability to seem genuine when talking about his time on the series had fans calling out Fillion’s bullshit. It also only fueled rumors that Fillion and Katic had beef.
I know this isn’t the popular opinion, but put yourself in Fillion’s shoes for a second. He had no control over the network’s decision to give Katic the boot and then he lost his paycheck in the fallout. That would make anyone feel a little bit bitter. Fillion had his moment to lick his wounds, but now he’s on the rebound. And he’s doing a really great job of reminding all of us why he’s a star. The guy is charming as hell.
