Firefly’s Jewel Staite to play genius inventor on DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow
To a particular strain of nerd, it feels like only yesterday that we were bemoaning the loss of Joss Whedon’s Firefly, probably because it was yesterday. Much like the loss of the Unification War for the browncoats, some people will never get over it. The actors, on the other hand, got over it just fine—for the most part. Nathan Fillion now has enough money to buy a small island, Morena Baccarin has been a regular on Homeland and Gotham—to name but a few of her gigs—and Adam Baldwin is living on some distant planet where straight white men are a brutally oppressed people. And dear sweet ship mechanic Kaylee, a.k.a. Jewel Staite, now has a new gig to follow up her previous roles on Stargate: Atlantis and The Killing. TV Line reports Staite is set to have a guest-starring role on DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow, appearing in the season’s 10th episode.
