There is evidence. It would explain why Inara left Sihnon. She'd been living there a long time...and if she stayed for another ten years then people would really start to catch on. Thats why she moves about.

When Nandi greets her in "Heart Of Gold" she says "You haven't aged a bit."

In "Out Of Gas" Inara says to Simon "I don't wanna die at all."

I'm not sure why Inara would want to do this...but hey, its a theory with evidence.



God, not the time-travelling/"Time Enough For Love" theory. When will people learn that the likelihood of a theories veracity varies in inverse proportion to its complexity?

I agree Chindi, I think she was just trying to avoid Simon guessing that she was woozy because she kissed Mal.

Lots of interesting theories about Inara, I hope our sequel ( or series) tells us these things.
And I wanna know about Book too. I was watching "War Stories" again last night and his back story intrigues me... a lot.

I think the theory that interests me the most about Inara is that she is dying of something.
I don't buy the non-aging idea at all.

( Oh, and I didn't get to see the BDM yesterday, but(!) my local movie rental place is saving the BDM poster for me!)

See, I agree that she didn't want anyone to know she'd been foolish enough to kiss Mal and fall victim to the goodnight kiss. But I also think she protests a bit too much. Remember, she's a woman skilled in manipulation, in controlling social situations, and yet, when Simon goes to examine her, she practically chases him away with her protests.

Seemed... out of character, is all.

Whoo Hoo FollowMal.. free goodies from the local cinema... saving on that cashy money is always a good thing!!!

I didn't go hunting dvds yesterday.. will let the BDM come to me in its own time...

Back to Inara.. I think these theories are verrry interesting... keep em coming.. it helps to pass the time while waiting for the BDM... or.. I COULD watch another episode...

Chindi..moving toward the DVD player... after the Daily Show...

ETA maybeee Samertia.. or maybe she was still drugged... and her defenses were not up to full speed

Woot! Another fan of "The Daily Show"! Although I'm not watching it I'm watching "Firefly" on my computer while I'm typing. LOL

I am so pleased I'm getting the poster. And the movie rental place is the one I'm getting the "Firefly" DVD's for, so I can spread the word about "Firefly" along with the rentals of "Serenity" The fellow there is a long time friend, and he promised to encourage folks to watch "Serenity" He hasn't seen it or "Firefly" yet, but I know him, as soon as he does he will be hooked immediately and he's in a unique position to promote our BDH's.

Good day, good day!

I am in the Central Time Zone.

I live in Missouri, the good ole Show Me State.

I actually don't think I'm missing " The Daily Show" yet, I think it comes on again at 10:00 or 10:30 here.

Do you like The Colbert Report as well?

And your right, Gene ( guy at the movie place) doesn't stand a chance. HaHa ( Mine is an evil laugh!)

Is this what is called "hijacking a thread?" lol

Good night, gotta run to catch the phone!

I think that if there is a sequel, we will find out Book's secret...but as for Inara's secret? I doubt we'll learn that until the third movie, if there is one.

Im also certain that either Inara or Mal will die in the third movie.

I thought books past was explored pretty much in depth in serenity through the operative. So I don't see how his past can be explored further in future releases.

I think you are right, PsychicRiver.. either Mal or Inara will die with the end of this story.

Nathan Fillion has said in Entertainment Weekly, and I'm paraphrasing here... that he doesn't really want Mal to go on like Bond or something, and he hopes when the story ends, Mal will end.
I have to say I agree, as much as that thought pains me, only these actors can play these characters and I for one don't want the story without them.

(My hope is that we will have a continuation of the story for a loooonnnnggg time though!)
