If y'all divide up Inara's clothes between you, does that mean I can have Inara naked?
Also hey Nilly! Let's all have a 'We Love Inara' sing-a-long, shall we?
Inara! You don't have to put on that red light...
Okay, maybe not. But still, yay Inara!
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

I've always liked Inara, although never much impressed by the prostitute-as-priestess-as-counsellor trope.
If anyone recalls, it was done by Cassiopeia on Battlestar Galactica, although not nearly as well.
Anyway, I think Inara's attitude towards her calling walks a fine line between truly believing in what a Companion is meant to be, and coming up against....parochial male attitudes towards women in general, and women who sell sex in particular.

(Also on the liked-Inara train. But I loved Train Job, too. So clearly I'm strange.)
Don't think it's strange to have liked the Train Job, particularly if you saw Serenity beforehand.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Still there, still there, except for not actually hating the actress.
Yeah, prolly shoulda said, "hated Inara and thought Morena was a terrible actress." Still, wasn't a lotta love there. And yes, almost definitely an airing order issue, imo.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I'm glad I watched them in the DVD order. Things make more sense that way. Although it does seem to make parts of "The Train Job" a bit redundant, it was not too bad.

Liked Inara. Didn't love her like, say, Mal or Kaylee or Jayne or anyone else, but I liked her. And she really did have it down when she found Mal in OMR.

I rewatched the Angel finale last night and I had the hardest time picturing Adam Baldwin as Jayne.
The clean shaven, in-a-suit look. That's where I got stuck.

Remember when Book is telling Mal in OMR that if he uses Saffron he'll go to a special hell reserved for child molesters and people who talk at the theater? I about choked when he said that becuase my dad never shuts up at the theater. It's all "Oh, that was cool", "Check out the..." - I sometimes wished I had duct tape with me.

Huh, Angel finale was the only episode that even had a moment in it where I could recognize that he played Jayne, too.
