Having just discovered Firefly, I am so ashamed of myself that I didn't watch while it was on air! Just a tiny question for all you Firely Experts...I just finshed watching the whole series, but haven't seen Serenity yet and just wondered if we find out in the movie what exactly the supposed "suicide kit" Inara picks up in the pilot actually is? I don't wanna know "what" it is, just if we get an explanation. I honestly wouldn't have given a second thought about that scene unless Joss hadn't mentioned it in the commentary and now I can't get it out of my head! I has assumed she was planning suicide if the Reaver's came aboard! Thanks so much!

No that's not particularly addressed in the film. The only explanation is what Joss explained in the commentary. I agree with you though. I interpreted it as she would commit suicide if the Reavers came on board.
Hope you get to see Serenity soon! Welcome to the Browncoats!

Joss sure likes to keep his secrets. no such luck with the black mystery vial. Maybe he'll tell us someday if we're lucky. you'll love Serenity anyway I guarantee it!

Thanks for the info ev1! I agree about Joss and his secrets. Just when I think I have his style of storytelling all figured out, a new curve or secret pops right up! As a huge Buffy and Angel fan, I can't for the life of me figure out why I just got around to Firefly and I can't wait to see Serenity. I do think I should do some sort of penance at the Church of Whedon for waiting this long and then I can be worthy of being a Browncoat! Ha! :)

Welcome Daisy! You'll find us to be a friendly bunch.
As for the black syringe, one of the most popular theories is the "suicide kit", but it's not the only one. I hope Joss lets us in on the secret eventually...

New to Serentity and Firefly too. My new box set is currently lent out but I found the gag reel easily when I watched the DVD. It's on the 4th DVD under special features. I just wish it had been longer!

Welcome all the new people!!
I found Firefly in May this year and, like everyone else, can't believe I let it go for so long.

That's the whole point, it *is* longer. On the internet, there's an extended gag reel available which has about four times as much stuff as the one you get on your DVDs.
It's well worth the download.
