I don't see fatalistic in any part of his speech. I see a cause found, a belief formed. Joss put all that in the script. Pretty clearly, I think.
I don't disagree with that. Out of the two choices (running and likely dying vs. being heroes and likely dying) he picks the latter because he believes in that particular cause.
Doesn't mean that I feel he regains any meaningful sense of belief for anything else, though.
We seem to be pretty set on disagreeing about this.

Back in college, there was a point when I could have taken a brewing class, but they required everyone to be twenty one.
I learned to brew from a boyfriend. I started with mead, which I still brew now and then. Meads are fun because you can't really buy good ones, and they last a long time. My oldest are 4-5 years old and quite tasty.
Beer is simpler. I've brewed without kits a few times, but the kits are just so simple and always come out good. Yesterday I started an Irish stout, and it's a bubbling away like mad now!
Quote:Hmm... interesting thought. I hope *something* happens! I really don't want that plot twist going where it could go...
I also think maybe I know what that belief might be. Love keeps her in the air. I think that may be foreshadowing. Does this reflect on the upcoming leaked Inara story twist?

Platonist was telling me she heard Joss said some Very Scary Things at one of the conventions, something about
Select to view spoiler:
"Dying with a capital 'D'"
But I haven't heard the exact soundbite yet, so I'm holding out hope. I mean, so long as he doesn't say, definitively, that she's GOING TO, there's still wiggle room, I say.
And if the end of the Serenity movie, with Inara and then that speak following one after the other and seeming related, if that's foreshadowing, there may yet be a happy ending. Or, happy-ish at any rate, this is Joss.
...At least we'll always have fanfic.

He just confirms that

dying-with-an-ing
is her secret. I call that a hopeful choice of words.

I hope so. :) That's kind of been my take on this the whole time, you know, kind of my position to hold up my internal mantra of "please don't do it, please don't do it..."
It seems to me, if a writer has a leak for their story to the general public, their reaction would have to be to find a way to misdirect and mislead so they can still have the same impact when they get to the reveal, you know? It doesn't seem like Joss would be confirming a major plot twist just because someone got Morena to spill.
In fact, I also wonder if this wasn't a ploy, and the original questioner wasn't a plant. Mal and Inara had always been my favourite part of Firefly (their banter, too funny!), but when this came out, I have to admit, it really made me a lot more interested in Inara and her characterization.

What I like is the use of the finger quotations for the “ing” part, so I agree, there is hope for her.
Doesn’t Joss sound irritated over the whole spoiler? Yeah, he’s clearly irritated.
