Nice to see Castle's father come back to learn a little more about him and to see him reconnect with Martha and allow a mistrusting Beckett to meet him.
Yeah, hanging around with Pi was irrationalNeilO said:I am glad to see that Alexis is starting to realize that she has had a bit too much Pi
I can understand your view, but I guess my thinking is that he still goes to these events; he seems to actually enjoy being out with the fans. He could just decide that he's now an ACTOR and not waste his time with trivial pursuits, but he's out there and being silly and fun. Now, if we hear stories where fans run into him somewhere and ask for an autograph and he responds with, 'Got 99 dollars?!' then I'd be right there with you.Patrick Sun said:Ever since I found out Nathan Fillion gets $99 for his autograph at Wizard World events, I can't get into this show much anymore. I'll ride out this season, but I'm probably done with the show once this season is over.
hahah.. really, though, having worked at one point in my life with a promotional group, I can tell you if he's billing out $99, he's not even seeing a 1/3 of that. A lot of convention events cost a lot of money to put on, pay some out for talent, a lot of cost in setup, and they break out well in the end. But until they do, ti's a mad scramble for cash.Patrick Sun said:Hey, I think charging $30 is too much for an autograph. I'm just having to take off my Firefly-colored glasses for good. *sniff* it was a good run for being a browncoat until now.
Sorry; don't mean to offend, but given your statements about how you don't begrudge autograph fees, this ending statement just strikes me as odd. Why are individuals who sell autographs scumbags, but events are simply recouping costs?mattCR said:It also wipes out scumbag autograph sellers who just want an autograph so they can turn it around quickly on Ebay for money..
