Maybe that's what the syringe was that Inara looked at when they were sneaking past the Reavers. Maybe it was her hair suppression serum. Maybe she was thinking, "At least when they sew my skin into their clothing it won't be hairy like Kaylee's chest."

LMAO!

Ooops. I was wrong, I don't think we saw Mal shaving. What I had in my head was the scene in 'Jaynestown' where Book was washing his face and his hair was out. I don't think he was shaving then. Sorry.

Yeah, but... but... they have such long, luscious locks on top of their heads. No pill can differentiate between the sebacious glands and hair follicles of underarm/leg skin and scalp skin. Nah uh.

Unless you were to suppress the progesterone/eostrogen/LH/FSH hormones from childhood onwards, which might halt the growth of extra body hair. But, considering how, erm... curvacious and sexy and all out FEMALE that these four women are... I doubt that has happened either.

So... erm... neeneh neeneh.

HEEE!!!

You guys have to give me a warning for this stuff, so I don't spit diet coke all over the screen.

It's very unseemly.

So it's a magic topical cream, then.

I like Spinny's idea. They finally invented a magic hair removal cream that works and lasts as long as it claims and doesn't burn.

Or maybe everybody gets those laser hair removal surgeries done in the future. They could have little laser hair removal electric razor thingies to do it yourself. Painless and easy.

OR..it could be a TV show and no one wants to see nasty week old hair growth on the legs of Summer Glau.

I figure that the topic of body hair has become a cultural taboo due to how it makes us look more like primates and is not even mentioned in polite society. The closest anyone comes is using the euphemism "terrifying space monkeys".

You know what else this thread reminds me of?

Jayne's sponge bathing scene was cut, while they were filming it. He started to shave his back, the called "lunch" and never went back to it.

I am extremely bored at work - so I'll play!

The box that Simon used to smuggle River onto Serenity was some sort of cryogenic capsule - presumably, all her bodily functions, including hair growth, would be suspended during the hibernation. As long as she was clean-shaven before she got in, she logically should be clean-shaven when she got out.

Human hair grows even after death. Ain't no cryo box gonna stop it.

And my original point, how would she be clean shaven before she got in? Those men with blue hands give her access to razors a lot, did they? 'Cause that's not very smart to my mind.
