Just something I picked up on watching the pilot last night.

When Inara is with her client, she describes her world to him. When he asks her why she left, she looks upset/sad for a second before the cut. Could this have something to do with her needle + syringe?
Anyway... back to Out of Gass ;P

If you are implying that she caught something and had to leave I doubt that.
Remember, she has to goto get a check up once per year to remain a registered companion and they'd probably catch that something there, if indeed she had something. But, when she went to the check up everything was fine.
Joss said something about the needle in the commentary. It was only that he didn't want to give it away because it might be explained in another way later (ie movie).

In "Bushwacked" Wash said "Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed!" Do you think this has anything to do with the fact that he and Mal were tortured in "War Stories"?
Harken: "Seems odd that you would name your ship after a battle you were on the wrong side of."
Mal: "May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."

I saw that also and while I'm not completly sure I think it probably has something to do with her syringe but I'm not sure what. The one thing that I do think it relates to is in Heart of Gold Inara's friend what's her name says she was suprised when she heard Inara left.

I think her reasons were very personal, and most likely involved a man rather than anything scandalous as that kind of attention would follow a Companion, and a lot of their business relies on their reputation and stature, as special members of the community. My personal belief is that she found the love of her life, and somehow lost him, and that's why she left, never going ahead with her plan of rising to be head of a house, and living it up on the Central planets, its just kinda odd she found another man, but this was so very different, radically opposite to her in so many ways and yet, strangely alike, hence part of the attraction. Just a theory.

"Remember, she has to goto get a check up once per year to remain a registered companion"
IMHO that once per year thing was a ruse to get to see a doctor about some life threatening illness she has. The syringe is used to deliver some kind of med to treat the illness.

What struck me as funnay was when they ask her how her checkup went. She says "Same as last year" Not exactly what one whould call an upfront answer.

Huh ? How do you arrive at that ? The fact that Wash is acting silly in Bushwacked has nothing to do w/ Mal and he getting tortured in War Stories. Remember, after the proximity alarm goes off, Wash goes on to say..." who's flying the ship ? Oh, I am." And what ANY of this has to do w/ why Inara left Persiphony has got me confuzzled.

Yeah, I mentioned that in another thread where I proposed Inara is dying, and that's why she gave up her "promising future" among the companions.
The vial and syringe aren't for suicide (we know that); it was her medicine, and her thought was whether there was any point in taking it if the reavers were coming. I think there are other clues within the series as well.
Just to clarify (because this came up on the other thread), I'm just saying Inara's secret is that she is dying, not that Inara would actually have died during the run of the show.
"Wacky fun..."

I don't know about that. I makes sense to me to require a check up once in awhile for someone in her chosen profession. ie The stamp of approval from the guild is something of a guarantee that the client won't catch anything.
