True, but he would've known the itinerary of the ship as it was no secret where Inara was going. So, I think that Inara's and Book's relationship would've taken a hit afterwards. And since there is no evidence of that...

Maybe I'll reware-watch series with all this in mind when it comes back to me (damn being friendly and lending it out :))

Food for thought though


But, I doubt if it is a Reaver causing disease. Mal mentioned what would cause someone to become like that once (forget which ep.). It was all about psychological factors.

In "Out of Gas", Inara comments to Simon that she doesn't want to die at all (and the overlaying comment from the director indicates that particular line is important).



I picked up on this (without the commentary.. I have to get to that.. ) The look on her face after he says he does not want to die on the ship and her reaction to not wanting to die at all... very powerful. Plus, she wanted Mal to come with them and commented that he did not need to die alone, possibly reflecting her inner thoughts. That might be why she is so comfortable on Serenity... she has people that can be there when she dies. It seems like the Companion business would be lonely.

Also, not sure if anyone knows this, but Serenity is a huge AA term.. the basis for peace and serenity.. before getting treatment, your life is out of control.. they even have the serenity prayer. Maybe she is in recovery! (not meant to put down AA at all)
