I blame it all on Desperate Housewives. Inara loved that show so much.
Desperate Housewives is one of the few American shows Communist China actually allows its citizens to watch, but it should be noted that they call it "Crazy Housewives", no doubt to show China how messed up we are in America. And if you don't think that China thinks we're all like that after watching "Crazy Housewives" every week, tell that to Paul Hogan and all the Austrailians who we think walk around with boomerangs and macheties, wrestling crocodiles and saying crazy things like "Krikey!" or "Let's throw another shrimp on the barbie mate!"
Eva Longoria is sssssooooooo fine.

No idea where that came from, would also love to know though!!
I always put it down to the fact that Inara knew that Mal would not accept her employment, in the centre planets it may be seen as a worthy occupation but in the outer rim it would not be acceptable. Mal would have been too jelous and probably tried to make her quit, if she had no intention of doing this then she had to make a choice, when put into a love or carrer (or other interest) they often pick the career first and regret it later. (my brother chose his band over his girlfriend and has always had a bit of doubt.)
Also I previously dated someone who was in a less than savoury career and it is not easy if you have any true feelings for them. even the least jelous guy in the world would go crazy sat waiting in the ship while she was on a call!

Well in fairness people at airports have to ask a lot of questions and probably just want a simple, straight and accurate answer more than anything else in the world.
But I think it was funny

Mmm, very funny!
In the filmed-but-not-aired scene in War Stories where Inara tries to make her councillor client send police/army after Niska to save Mal, the shooting script has the councillor pointing out to her that Companions aren't allowed to take lovers. Maybe another aspect of the messy HoG situation - in addition to those mentioned earlier - is that Inara may have been fooling herself much of the time she spent on Serenity as much as she was fooling Mal about her real feelings for him, and was finally confronted in HoG with emotional evidence she couldn't deny that if their relationship progressed the way it was going to progress, she would end up sleeping with him, which was against Companion law. As mentioned, people are often irrational about love and/or emotions, so it is at least consistent that she was previously pretending to herself she only wanted to be "friends", and all the fighting they do was at least partially caused by a clash between the feelings she told herself she was allowed to have about Mal and the feelings she really had that she was trying to supress. Just a thought.

Okay, so I'd contemplated and mulled over the whole Mal/Inara thing way too long. But I think Inara was a bit jealous of Mal being with Nandy before she got a chance at her. Of course there is a mix of the Mal/Inara thing to consider right along withthis other complication. She saw the result of Two people she couldn't have because of her job and the emotional constipation she seems to carry. Perhaps she is as emotionally retarded as Mal and just couldn't come to terms withwhat she really wanted. Though the character of Inara came from Joss, she is truly female. And I wonder if men will ever understand. I for one may never.
Sounds like the old Tootsie Pop commercial.

The trouble with a question like this (and it's a fine question, for sure) is that those penis-less imbeciles at fox (do i hold back to much?) never gave the story a chance to fully play out.
Good example: I was a Farscape fanatic, i still think the characters were as richly drawn as the BDH's (different, but just as good), and the writing was some of the best on TV, but they got 4 years to tell their story, before the peacekeeper wars, so you were ready for the movie.
This is why the blue sun room is so exciting, becuase I, and everyone else who writes in there, have our own ideas and theories, and the story is still playing out.
