Talk:Inara Serra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What's the source on her character being Buddhist?
- In the Serenity movie, during the scene when Mal comes to talk to Inara in what appears to be a Buddhist shrine. --Pentasyllabic 17:33, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
"Inara is highly skilled with a longbow" -- I don't recall seeing a longbow anywhere in the TV series or movie. Can anyone clarify this? --Pentasyllabic 02:17, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- I'm not familiar with weaponry exactly, but I certainlly recall seeing her wielding a bow-like weapon in the climatic battle of Serenity. --Bacteria 11:30, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- It's mentioned in the audio commentary that Inara wielded a longbow during the final fight in the movie Serenity, but it did not play well in test screenings. The bow was digitally replaced with a sophisticated bolt-throwing weapon, but in some long shots just before the fight you can see the original bow Dallan007
- You can't actually see the longbow in the scene you're thinking of; you can see a black longbowish shape some people thought was a glitch, but was where the longbow was digitally erased (it's a very brief glimpse). Also, you can see the longbow sheathed in a velvet bag in a deleted scene between her and Mal just as they're headed for Reaver space as she removes it from her trunk. - dharmabum 00:17, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Y'all may be interested in this...
Companion (Firefly) was created the other day. :) Some of you may have an interest in it, seeing as I'm sure some of the information from each article could be incorperated in the other. Runa27 00:52, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
In "Heart of Gold" when Nandi sees Inara in person she mentions how she doesn't look a day older. While this is a common greeting she seems truly surprised by Inara's looks. This could be related to Inara's subplot.
- I still say Inara remembers Earth. --Kizor 19:29, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The syringe
this transcript gives an explanation of the syringe seen in the pilot episode, It says: "At a writer’s conference last autumn Tim Minear apparently revealed the purpose of the syringe. It was filled with a toxin which when injected into a person has no harmful effects on them but would kill anyone who had sex with that person. The plan apparently had been to have a very dark episode late in the first season of Firefly in which Inara would have been attacked and raped by Reavers and would have survived through her use of the syringe". Should this information about the purpose of the syringe be mentioned in the article? 151.203.179.82 02:58, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
