And if you drink ENOUGH, you run fast enough that you get airborne. What's not to like?
Yeah, I concede the point about the newbies seeing right away about Mal and Inara, at least in that particular instance. In other cases, it has been pretty much an instant recognition. Atherton, anyone?
But I also like the idea of semi-intuitive Simon, too, and core world values guiding him to a familiar form of confessor.

That's the plan! Leaf on the wind, till the crash at the end.
I actually enjoy doing these little tangents a lot but it gives the whole thread a very ADHD quality ;)

Airborne? Pah. I become OMNIPOTENT.
I would settle for being blue again, and ten feet tall. With a tail. That was awesome.
Hey that man owed me ONE good movie-induced dream, after Aliens...
EDIT: Did I just accidentally prove your point?

IT'S TOO LATE FOR THE SENSE TALKY MAKE! SHORT ATTENTION SPANS MEAN YOU'RE NOT SAD AS LONG.
WHY AM I TALKING IN CAPITALS?!
Edit: Also, I have an interesting subpoint to bring up here tomorrow, actually related to Inara and her job and whether she LIKES being a companion. With AnotherSky's permission, of course.

Well I did not get bugged as the question was asked then I saw it the first time, and well and still does not, maybbe because the first time i saw it i got completely lost in Summers characther: River:-)
It still happens i get a little teary eyed then I see River in some of the scenes, Like the closet scene with Simon in Serenity(movie) or the injection scene in Ariel before they shall get down to St. Lucy´s hospital
it also happens then I see waiting in the wings(Angel) :-)

I think you're a bit "lost in the woods", KrelleK.
Follow the crickets, and you'll make it back to the thread you intended to post on.

thanks for leading me out the woods, I did have suspicion that i had gotten lost as you said
so to get back on the topic at hand:-)
I did not iritate, or rub me in a wrong way(the whole Companion thingy)I might be a little hypocritic then i say it would not be something I wished to see a sister/daughter of my own do, but I think it comes with the whole closeness to the familly-thing. and well in the guild that is described it is the companion that choses the client, and other seccurity measures set up so the Companions can feel relatively safe,(like the black mark to isolate bad customers like Wing)
