Talk:Inara Serra

message: 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)

replies: text: "An entire generation never saw the outside of a spaceship" - something extremely similar to that is stated more than once in materials relating to Firefly and Serenity, including the official Roleplaying Game rule book. Unless Inara is a vampire, I doubt she "remembers" Earth in the least, since the only "Earth" in the series is "Earth-That-Was", which is presumably aptly named. Inara's background is still going to remain a mystery, from what's been said about it. 4.235.69.190 (talk) 18:01, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Companion (Firefly) now redirects to Firefly (TV series). Wouldn't it make a hell of a lot more sense to redirect it here, though, since the TV series article features practically no information at all on the role, fucntion, etc. of Companions in the series (indeed, barely references them except when talking about Inara!), whereas this one obviously does, seeing as it has to cover Inara's profession, and in fact does with a fair amount of detail (not to mention, you can't ADD that kind of detail to the main Firefly article now, because it would add too much length to the already very long article)? I don't know why nobody thought to redirect it to Inara Serra, if they felt they HAD to merge it that badly. Clearly wasn't done by someone who actually is all that familiar with the series/articles on the series, it would seem. In other words, by a merge-happy or deletion-happy person who probably didn't know much about what they were deleting or merging, and chose badly on where to point the redirect, probably based entirely on the location name of the article... as opposed to the content, which was largely similar to this very article. And of course, I can't access the deletion discussion, because the page is completely gone now. And there's no way I've ever seen to change where a redirect points to, aside from convincing an admin to do it for you. Which isn't necessarily easy to do, with the way the site is organized. I used to edit WP pretty regularly... and if you're wondering why I don't anymore? That kind of ridiculousness is pretty much the entire reason.  4.235.69.190 (talk) 18:01, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

message: 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)
replies: text: Regarding his comments, Tim later said, "To be clear, I never said a thing about Inara's syringe. And that un-written Firefly story had nothing to do with Inara's "big seekrit." That's a whole 'nother thing that you will never learn from my lips." --Nalvage 08:01, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
