I watched "Our Mrs. Reynolds" tonight. After the lightheartedness that was "Shindig", then this one...
( Comparing the Mal from these episodes with the Mal of SERENITY is like a wrench upside the head. )
Boiling it down? Firefly, after "Out of Gas", is all about breaking Mal step by step back into the man the Alliance made of him, and Inara is, though not intentionally, one of the main tools of his gradual refragmentation.
*hiding face* I was seriously looking for happy moments to help keep the upcoming Mal/Inara conversation in Book's Legacy from being a total trainwreck, and my brain just won't go there. Help, anyone? Please?
