      I know the show and wheedon are problematic but I fucking love that scene.

        "Are we exploding? I don't wanna explode."

        totally. people shit on the guy and the show/movie, but it was clever and let its cast shine through their characters. in a world where 80% of media is skullsplittingly dull and stupid, it was a solid ass franchise.

        Alan Tudyk is an extremely rare and often underutilized talent. Nathan Fillon can make my eyes watery and put a lump in chest seemingly without any effort, but also plays the "smart mouth / dumb where it counts" sandbagging bushwhacker so well, it's like he reinvented the archetype.
