Well, that was fun. Hope y'all enjoyed it. Apologies to anyone following who may not want their in boxed stuffed. G'nite!

wow he can be mean at times but sucks his cat died atleast he got a new one

Well, after doing the transcript and reading some of the questions he didn't answer I can tell you that some of the questions were very rude and inconsiderate.

One Jerk (@FeargalGlean) actually asked: For $20,000 and a 12 pack of Doritos, would you perform fellatio on a duck?

He was spammed with so many questions by some people I'd have hated to see his actual profile!

Many people don't understand how twitter works. If you ask or answer a question directly to the other person using @ then only those two people see the question/answer and to see both you'd have to go to both people's profiles even if are following them.

To transcribe this Q & A I had to go to Nathan's profile, copy his answer, then go to the profile of the person who asked the question and copy the question.

I'm surprised he answered as many as he did. I'd have lost my patience and stopped a lot sooner! I certainly don't hold his answers against him, not after seeing some questions he was asked.

yeah and there was a question for him asking if stana was a huge bitch on the set

I think the question for 54 was about if he got his forehead scar from a swordfight with his brother. At the time I'd checked, it was the only question that the answer seemed to fit.

I didn't ask him anything because I figured there'd be TONS of questions, and I couldn't really think of anything. I bet some of those rude questions though were just trying to be funny . . . if someone asked me that duck question, I'd laugh myself silly.

I suspect the question about Stana was because there've been rumours about him getting mad at her for being a diva. It was on some gossip site. I don't know why anyone would think he'd actually answer that!

WTF! Didn't even know this was going down. Damnit! When did this happen? T_T

Well thanks for posting the transcript. That looks like a helluva lotta work.

Also, in regards to number 54 -- Poison is right. If you click the "in reply to" link on his answer, it takes you to this post:
@NathanFillion Is it true you got your forehead scar as a kid while playing a sword game with your brother?

hmph. i refuse to believe these rumors, there's no way Stana's a bitch.

same here i would have to see a video or something thats proves stana acts like a diva or a bitch on set.
and if she does she should stop becuase most people dont know her really well they might have seen her in movies but not as much as people know like brad pitt or miley cyrus you know what im saying
and i want to see this gossip article that said this

I know exactly what you mean. Not a lot of people know about Stana and yet they were all ready to judge her as a diva.

I was hoping Nathan would at least at some point, without linking or giving details as to the rumor, refute it. Something like "Stana is a pleasure to work with, and we've never quarrelled" or something would be sufficient. He wouldn't have to draw attention to the specifics of the rumor, but he could at least deny it.

yeah he didnt even answer the persons question on twitter

Thanks... I changed it in the transcript! I never even thought to use the "In reply" to check. *facepalm*

It was, but it was worth it! I think Nathan didn't realize that everyone who was following him couldn't see the posts unless they checked his profile then followed the link back to the other person's profile to look at the question.

From some of his replies I think he was under the impression that everyone was able to see all the questions and answers.

He may not have even wanted to dignify the rumour by referring to it, Michy.
