Meanwhile in the Firefly universe, some secrets stopped being secret

After about four years of complete "fandom" inactivity I just read up on the current state of the Firefly/Serenity canon, mostly by sifting through firefly.wikia.com. Much to my surprise, the mysterious stories of Book and Inara are not quite so mysterious anymore. In the case of Book, the character backstory has been told in complete detail in form of comic books, and from what I read it's not as intriguing or inventive as I hoped and it doesn't really add up for me in terms of believability. Of course, I haven't read the actual comic books themselves(yet), so my initial impression could be completely off here. I also followed a link to a youtube video from 2008 in which Ms. Baccarin more or less openly spills the beans on Inaras big secret, at least partially. If this is indeed considered canon (it's "Joss approved", they say), I regret reading and watching it because a) it's a big fat bummer and b) the magic of “not-knowing” is gone now. This is what you get for spending years completely out of the loop, I guess.
