Has Nathan Fillion been racist?

This was really well written and heartbreaking and I am bitter cause I loved his character and his powers and I totally didn't understand why his character was sidelined but they did fuck all with him and like I could TELL. I stopped watching aftet and km so glad. And Ali Larter can go kick bricks.

I suffered through another season sadly but his death made no sense and was the start of the decline imo. Niki was also the most boring character imo and the fact that they kept Ali is a joke.

his death reminds me of Darwin's in X-Men. ie total bs and pretty racist.

I remember at the time thinking his death was bullshit because of his powers but I had no idea all this was going on behind the scenes. How awful.

And the fact they kept Ali Larter on even tho her character was basically useless throughout says so much.

I couldn’t stand her character (or power), while I liked him and his so I never understood it. Now we know!

I think no one wants to come out and call her a racist flat out, so they'll just keep dancing around it.
