Firefly meme!

[stormkeeper_lovedoris]

With razycrandomgirl’s input, I put together a Firefly meme! Tagging every Browncoat on my f-list. And hey, do you think I should post it to the fireflyfans group?

Number of times you’ve seen the whole series (to your best estimate)

My best guess is that I’ve seen it about six times through

Number of times you’ve seen the movie

Only four

Favorite character (and why, if you want)

Zoe

Least favorite character (and why, if you want)

Jayne

Favorite episode (and why, if you want)

Can I have a four-way tie with Ariel, War Stories, Out of Gas, and Objects in Space?

Least favorite episode (and why, if you want)

The Message. The plot just isn’t that interesting or credible, and it featured too much Tracy!

Favorite quote

Too many to list, but how about, “Will you all still be here when I wake up?”

Favorite scene

From Objects in Space, everything from River’s “Permission to come aboard?” through the final continuous scene that had everyone in it

Your opinion of the movie: love it, shove it, or mixed feelings

Mixed feelings

Favorite canon pairing

Zoe/Wash

Favorite non-canon pairing

I guess Inara/Kaylee, though many would argue that that is canon.

In brief, what got you hooked?

Watching the movie – loved the idea of this group of misfits up against this evil empire. Loved all the strong women too

Your favorite theory on Book’s background

Operative

Your favorite theory on Inara’s reasons for leaving Sihnon

Terminal illness

Will Mal and Inara ever get together?

No

Will Simon and Kaylee stay together?

Yes

Will River stay (or get) on the road to mental health?

Yes

Favorite Firefly fanfic

There are so many, but the one I’m raving about lately is The Legend of the Ceremonial Flying Pineapple by sarahetc

Is Firefly your main fandom now?

Yes

What are your top 2 other fandoms?

X-men, Jem

I just prefer the original crew of Serenity to the "add ons". :\ sorry.

I forgot to answer this! Here are my thoughts:

To try to sum it up, the main rationale is that during the pilot ep when the Reaver ship is near, Inara takes out something that looks medical. Joss says during the commentary that it is *not* a suicide kit and that it's a clue to Inara's secret. So if it's not a suicide kit, is it some medicine she takes to deal with the symptoms of a medical condition. There's also the scene in Out of Gas where she and Simon are talking and she says, "I don't want to die at all". She doesn't look at him as she says the line and in fact seems absorbed in something else entirely. (In fact, I can't remember if we were also told in DVD commentary that that scene had a clue too).

So those are the main pieces of evidence -- you couple that with her unwillingness to get attached to anyone, you may have an answer as to why a top class companion is on a ship like Serenity.
