I looked in the archives and did not find anything on this but I have been wondering about the age of Inara. I think she is much older than you think, in HOG Nandy says "you look exactly the same" since the last time they seen each other.
Also in an interview Morena Baccarin gave us a clue and said Inara was dying. Maybe she is dying but does not age? In the pilot you see her open a small box with liquid and a syringe this could be medicine for her condition but if caught by the revers she could OD on the medicine and there by kill herself.
Just a working theory I have, Any thoughts?

Anything? Really? You found nothing whatsoever on one of the most oft-discussed topics of Firefly fandom? Clearly, you did not look hard, nor very far.
I will tell you that your theory of an ageless Inara is not a new one.
The 'clue' that was given is much more than that, and is considered by many to be a spoiler; tagging it as such is a recommended courtesy.
Combining the theory of agelessness with the information given by Morena is a bit new, but that may be because it doesn't make much sense.

These took me all of three minutes to dig up:

Since I have only discovered firefly a few months ago and clearly a newbe it would seem that I have upset you. Maybe you should cry about it. apparently it helps.

Gotta say, meanpuppet, your talent for alienating folk is near miraculous! Way to elicit future help. :)

To be fair, if you haven't really looked, you shouldn't say that you did.

As for Inara not aging.. I will never get that theory. Just because Nandi comments on her appearance? I know a number of women who barely seem to age between 20 and 30, so it never struck me as an odd thing to say. And still it seems like a popular theory. I must be missing something.

I always thought the line in Out of Gaswhere Inara say's

"I don't want to die at all."

was a huge hint that she may be dying. Nandi saying that she hasn't aged at all seems more like just a polite thing to say.

I do wonder what the syringe is for though...?

I figured it out. Inara is a ring bearer!

I think that the perspective is that while the line itself does seem innocuous, that it seems strange for Joss to have put it in if there wasn't any point for it. Probably it was meant to be a polite comment, but would later, retrospectively it might have been taken as a hint for something else.

A bit of an assumption, I admit, but I actually like it. The idea has been bandied about that Inara took anti-aging serum to combat... well, you know.

Me? No, I don't get upset over something as simple as making claims of 'looking in the archives' when one clearly hasn't, or making the foolish assumption that there is no discussion on one of the more intriguing aspects of a show we're all fans of. While I'm hardly emotionally involved enough in you to even care that you've already sunk to calling me names, simply over my blunt statements of fact, it would seem from such emotional response on your part that my pointing out the foolishness of such thoughts and claims, and directing you toward several discussions on the topic you have stated interest in, and mentioning how quickly and easily I found them with my semi-minimal tech skills (and, perhaps, pointing out your laziness and/or technical illiteracy in the process) and mentioning also the very simple tech skill such searches require... clearly all of this has upset you. Though that was not my intent, it's also hardly my problem. However, if you really think it helps to cry about things, do feel free, I won't hinder you. On the other hand, if you want to be civil and engage in this or any other discussion in some kind of rational manner, you won't be hindered in that by anyone. There are several posters here who enjoy discourse on Inara and the mystery and various theories surrounding her, as the many past discussions will indicate.
If all you want to do is start a thread, that's great, start as many as you want. But really, don't say you've looked for a discussion on such-and-such a topic 'in the archives' when you haven't checked beyond the first page. It's just silly, no one here for longer than a month will likely believe it, and some enterprising soul might call your bluff. Which, as we can see, you find upsetting.
Have a nice day.
