I agree with you there.

Kaylee's change of look I could more easily understand. Times are hard, she gets skinny, they all take less care with their appearance, so she's a tad dirtier, her hair has grown, etc.

But Inara's look sometimes really bothered me, it was so different. She had a tan in the movie and trying contrast her makeup more would have been a great choice.

Not to mention the hair. You'd suppose that on a planet, in a Companion Training House, she'd have an easier time keeping her hair shiny and orderly than on a spaceship.

What were they THINKING with the outfit during her wave to Mal? It looks horrible!

The only time they really captured Inara's look from the series was during her last scene.

It's the part in her hair. It does something with her face that disappears when her hair is pulled all the way back like it is most of the movie.

Still, the wave aside, she's still very very beautiful. *g* Just not as pretty and Companion-y as in the series.

Absolutly! everytime I watch the series I am loving Inara's make up! Yes its totally overdone but she looks amazing with all the oranges and golds and all the redlips. (just like her shuttle) With Morenas coloring...she can really pull off the extensive make up. It was missing in the movie for me....and I found Kaylees hair totally distracting...all crunchy/curly and greasy...(Rivers too) the hair person went a little 2005...should have just blown it out and left it at that. (Dont they know how important these things are in the scheme of life!...well ours anyway...)

Now I gotta go back and look at Inaras outfit in the wave! I cant remember (No..Im not just watching again to see my captain shirtless!)

The Propstore just posted a full reaver costume and he was wearing the space suspenders as well. I guess they were in style at the time of the BDM.

I never knew Mal was such a slave to fashion.

I know Wash's Hawaiian shirts weren't very prominent, but they were still present. (Well, at least one was.)

Another reason for changing things is that the old stuff will have disappeared. They'd have discarded a lot of stuff when they shut down the series, rather than pay to store it. I also expect much of it was taken away by the cast and crew.

Wash did not always wear hawaiian shirts in the series. I have not counted, but I would think it was actually a minority of the time that he did.

Strangely most of the props and costume from Firefly are in the hands of a very small number of collectors.There are perhaps three collectors who have the majority of all the great stuff.A lot of stuff from Serenity is available but Firefly pieces and costumes are much harder to come by and command a much higher price.

Things the Rabbit (moi) missed

Simon's vests (WTF was that shiny blue thing he had on for a couple of scenes? VESTS. It's trademark Dr. Tam. Can't go wrong.)

Wash's Hawaiian Shirts (though I did like his flightsuit)

Mal's canvas suspenders. (rubber ones just ain't Mal)

Like some have stated here already, I did not like the way Inara looked in the movie. She looked very different in the shot of her seeing the Operative walking towards her. I didn't even realize it was her the first time I saw it. I hated her hairdo throughout the movie, and her face looked un-familiar to me compared to the series. The only time she "looked good" to me was her wave to Mal...she looked young & natural.
