And Melinda Clarke (Nandi) was on the "Healthy Pet" magazine my vet sent to my cat as a reminder for her annual shots. Kitty about went wild that a Firefly lady came in the mail for her!
Kitty loves her Firefly!!

I think Nandi was perfect for Mal, too perfect. People don't need people who are just like m, they need people who are their opposite side. Anara is Mals opposite, his other half. He's against the allaince from the start, Anara is a proud citizen of the allaince. Mal's against her career, she's of course for it. She has emotions she shows more, while Mals all bottled up. She believes, and knows she believes, while Mal pretend he doesn't. So Anara's lack of perfection makes her better for Mal, though I think Nandi understands both Mal and anara better then either of them do. Her most important rule in the episode is to make Anara realize she loves Mal, which she does wonderfully. I think thats the first time Anara sees what everyone else has seen the whole time, and thats why she cries.
She finally realizes why Mal thinks her job is bad, and she realizes that by the man she loves sleeping with another woman.
Damn great show. No matter what the Gon-shi at Fox think.
If you play Nationstates.net check out the region Firefly.

Not that Joss doesn't deserve all the praise that's heaped on him, but writer Brett Matthews wrote Heart of Gold and deserves his share of the credit. Nandi is, most likely, largely his creation.

y'know i really liked nandi as a character and was disappointed that she died so soon before we could have some more delicious love-triangle-ish situations but i wasn't all that impressed with melinda clarke... i know i'm in the minority here but i found her really uneven - she had some really great moments, don't get me wrong, but i think that first scene with her is kind of... um... not very good - she has a kind of weird put-on accent which is later dropped... i dunno... actress-wise she didn't do it for me, but i thought the character was *very* interesting - expecially because of the similiarities and differences from Inara and how that would play out in Mal's heart. i did like how well suited she was to Mal and really would have liked to have seen her character pop up every once in a while - especially since Mal gives Inara such a hard time about her job, but then doesn't say a word to Nandi who actually *is* a whore about hers - i would have loved to hear Inara call him on that somewhere down the line :).
I'm a saffron girl all the way *g* - I thought C.H. was fantastic in both her appearances and I bet she would have eventually become even more a part of things (like Spike in Buffy) - that whole different side of the same coin is really interesting to me - and that's kind of what saffy is to mal - she's the him he would be if he was a loner and had absolutely no morals *g*
