INDI, thats the exact image I had gotten. Zoey with that extreme moment of after-glow as seen in I think it was SHINDIG.

Only it would be Wash "Washing" de-feet, chuckle

dug: thanks for pointing out the shower head. I completely missed it.

Your explaination does sound very reasonable, but I can see water as being a premium commodity on some of those rim world planets. Several look like the US southwest--dusty, dry, scarce vegetation. I'm thinking there may be times when they can't afford to fill that tank, especially in that time between OiS and the BDM where they can scarcely afford to feed themselves. Unless they have a back-up way to clean up, Inara should have smelled Mal at the training house. Then again maybe she did...after all she did light incense.

And for the concern for chemical irritation, there is a dry shampoo that's actually been on the market that has been used in hospitals. (I had a friend that had to use it since she couldn't shower having just had an appendectomy.)

My Mom used the same chemical bath (really looks like a lotion or powder depending on the manufacturer) in the hospital.

Collectors for the humidity humans give off and residual water could provide a lot of water to use.

And if I'm giving my poor education in chemistry a workout here-isn't a by product of hydrogen fuel cells H20?. If I remember way back to high school and recent talk about powering cars from hydrogen fuel cells there was mention that the only by product is water.

Otherwise it would get pretty ripe aboard Serenity.

They do say they use fuel cells, don't they? And you are correct; hydrogen fusion makes water. Very hot water, in fact. I read an article about a man who set up his house to run on fuel cells, and the amount he saved on his water bill made up for the high cost of cells! He didn't even have to heat it! So maybe that's how they fill their tanks without having to pay a lot. Interesting, interesting...

I'm watching Our Mrs Reynolds right now, and I saw the "showerhead".
It's a light fixture.
There's a good shot of it right behind Book's head after Mal comes to. It has a smooth glass interior. It's a light.
There's another fixture just like it low next to the bed, which you can see both during the seduction scene and when Inara finds Mal passed out. It looks like it's lit, too, but it could be a reflection.
So, no showers in the bunks.
Hey, all that water would ruin everything, anyway.
I could still buy the showers next to the infirmary, though.

Now watching Jaynestown, and at the end we can see the same type of light fixture in Simon's bunk, lit up like a star, too. Glad to see that, so I know I'm not addlepated
