Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like that they dig the dark, and that's one of the things I like most about Tim's ability to bring to a story and make hurt even though you thought you had nothing invested.
But not that way. Nope.
Yikes.

Because books.
American Horror Story: I love that this season is exploring insanity itself, and what the definition of it is.
I am sort of disappointed about that other thing, though.

Thrive to spite them
So that was actually goign to be written? Inara injects herself with something and gets raped. A lot. and the Reavers die. And then everything is just okay?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I do recall hearing that plotline years ago (maybe from Allyson?).

Also, Inara's big secret is that she's dying. That's why she left the inner planets and went out to the Rim.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber
The plot of the story Nathan described -- Serenity landed on an icy planet of people who were friendly, but then tried to steal the ship. When confronted they explained that their planet was dying and there weren't enough resources and they were going to die if they didn't load everyone on the ship and evacuate. The problem was there just wasn't enough fuel and whatnot for all the residents and all the crew, so Mal said to let him sleep on it overnight. While everyone was sleeping overnight he put the ship in gear and took off from the planet and when the crew faced off with him he explained that since they hadn't come across any other planets or ships it proved that if they had brought the others along they all would have died, and in doing things this way he had taken the decision off their shoulders.
That sounded like it could have been worked into a viable episode.

Indeed, a nice twist on that classic story "The Cold Equations".

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I swear I never told!
