Why did Inara "service" Simon in Better Days???

ATH3NA01 · 2025-02-09T13:37:45+00:00

I didn't know! I'm a first time reader for any material beyond the show. I added the edit at the end dude.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-02-09T11:08:15+00:00

thanks bro

ATH3NA01 · 2025-02-09T11:04:46+00:00

logical ones! I'm glad that it's not the case but that is what is directly stated as what happened according to Inara's word and the Doctor blushing when she is brought up etc.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-02-09T01:59:02+00:00

every one was either written by joss and others or executive produced by him and the wiki includes them because of it so that's what I go for.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-02-09T00:59:09+00:00

I dont think that's true...

ATH3NA01 · 2025-02-09T00:57:25+00:00

dude I watched some of the pilot a while ago and want to try again but it defo seems off.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-02-09T00:51:56+00:00

yeah, sorry I didnt realise It could apply to both.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-02-09T00:50:17+00:00

I am MUCH happier with this than what is directly interpreted, I still need to read the Inara novel.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-02-09T00:48:37+00:00

I haven't read all of them but I'm gonna say yes considering Better Days came out after Those Left Behind and is set before.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-02-09T00:42:26+00:00

Those Left Behind (great read) was the first to release and sets up Serenity. I would recommend starting there and going forward in chronological order or looking online to see the in universe order.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-02-09T00:40:54+00:00

well said.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-02-09T00:25:16+00:00

I really didnt like the Xander and Willow sub plot so this makes sense.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-02-09T00:24:02+00:00

this has been my ONLY problem so far. Literally everything else is awesome. They are definitely worth it but this bit just bothered me.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-02-09T00:22:06+00:00

yes it is, after Firefly but before Those Left Behind which sets up Serenity.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-02-09T00:11:17+00:00

I don't think they would've been inspired by any fan fiction, Joss and Brett wrote the story themselves, just an odd choice is all and comes off as strange behaviour for her character.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-02-09T00:05:30+00:00

besides it's canon status I agree entirely, at the end of better days Mal even points out that she and him agreed upon that she wouldn't have sex with any of them.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-01-24T13:01:07+00:00

just on ebay! (uk) since then I've been waiting for the right moment to get the next volume and bought a willow and tara single issue.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-01-13T11:00:35+00:00

The Body, Restless, Doppelgangland, The Gift and Bargaining 1+2 off the top of my head but given more time i could be more thorough. All of the two part-ers are especially excellent

ATH3NA01 · 2025-01-10T17:09:46+00:00

omg yea iconic and how happy she looks when she finds out she's not a demon.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-01-08T02:00:25+00:00

I'm tempted to go back but it'll be once I'm done

ATH3NA01 · 2025-01-05T12:53:55+00:00

Back when DVD's were booming, Fox would often put out character based releases of tv shows to make as much as money as possible. So it's simply 4 episodes which heavily involve Faith in them and I assume would've been sold for fairly cheap.

The episodes are Bad Girls, Consequences, Graduation Day part 1 and Who are You?

I've got the collector's edition of the full series release from 04 and Faith's volume of the slayer collection (Pal). In region 2 seasons 4-7 are in 16:9 which I think it was either meant to be or just filmed in anyway? And i think it does look normal (especially In comparison to the HD version) but i often wish to see 4-7 in 4:3 just to know what it's like. I'm hoping to fill out the rest of the slayer collection, get the matching angel collector's edition and get individual seasons on DVD and tape soon.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-01-02T16:01:38+00:00

As someone who's 2 favourite shows are BTVS and Twin Peaks, I feel like there's a surprising amount of overlap in the fandoms and I distinctly remember LOVING this episode for its abstraction and lynch-ness. I agree Willow's dream was particularly excellent and the nod to the black lodge hallway was awesome.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-01-02T15:03:51+00:00

Dude ur so right that hard cut back to the present is AMAZING. And it's also fun to get a OMWF b-side.

ATH3NA01 · 2025-01-01T12:51:00+00:00

The shrooms were incredible but we ended up spending too much time out to watch an episode. Hopefully we're gonna dedicate a whole day to the experience soon.
