"The band is back together….And [Nathan Fillion] clearly didn't like my joke. #therookie let's roll," Winter wrote in the caption to his Instagram post, first referencing the behind-the-scenes video he shared and then referencing Fillion's reaction in the image that followed. But Fillion didn't waste time with a follow-up in the comments section: "No, I loved your joke. Especially when I told it to you twenty minutes ago." Here's a look:
