I agree with all of them, but Inara. I don't see a motherly (good or bad) bone in her body. She is not connected to her emotions at all. I find her very cold.

I don't think she's unconnected, I think she's very very self-protective. (Is that a word? It's 4am) But I think that underneath it, there's a kind of warmth, that shows through when she's giving Book a bennediction, or interacting with Kaylee, or (as previously stated) with Fess Higgins.

Anyone ever thought that our opinions on this topic might relate to how we relate to our mothers???

BTW forgot to say that in my family scheme of things, Wash is like the little brother. Which is why he and Kaylee get along so well. And also why he and Zoe sometimes have tension in their relationship.

I find Inara very motherly. It never really occurred to me until Morena describes Inara on "The Making of Firefly." She is SO emotionally invested in that ship. She can be seen as cold, though, because of the facade of distance she puts up. I see it as a remnant of her life from a cold childhood, or perhaps, as said before, a defense mechanism from her life in the Core. Gonna not be PC for a minute here and just speculate how petty a organization of women can be.

Inara's emotional problems are so different from Mal's. In terms of mental health, she wins hands down, but while Mal is much more open (but still got a perimeter up) to growing and being part of a relationship, she will not open that door. I don't think its a simple as her being a Companion. I would be shocked if she didn't have some kind of relationship without, um, money changing hands before. I believe its directly related to why she's on Serenity in the first place.

Inara and Mal are very much the mother and father of the ship. That's one of the reasons they are so perfect for one another *sigh*. People go to Inara for advice, because she is empathic and wise. The crew implicitly trust Mal. His ability to to protect them is never really questioned. Everyone on that boat knows (or learns) that Father will be there. Period.

I think we'll find her in Serenity colder and more distant. There's more than just her heart on that ship. I hope that last sentence makes sense ?

I join everyone else in apologizing for my grammer. Just took my Trig final. Last math test EVER!

I always saw Kaylee and Inara as potential lovers.
