alexandralFirefly, Inara/Mal musical videos
I have finished "Firefly" and "Serenity" this week. What to say? I am so sorry it all is over and all we have is 14(?) episodes and a film… It is a great show, and probably the best sci-fi show I have watched up to date.
I think it is very well-done and every character is amazing. But OMPH!! Mal and Inara! Relationship so complicated, so beautiful! I am afraid this post is going to be incoherent writings of Mal and Inara shipper. I have almost stopped obsessing with "Rome" finale since Wednesday. EEEEE! Wednesday is the day when I watched "The heart of gold" episode for the first time.. :D
I am heart-broken and happy at the same time. Happy because OMPH! This is so beautiful! But heartbroken because I think whatever way I look at this, Mal does not love Inara as much as she love him.
Inara:
A lady (oh, a woman doesn't quite fit, I think) who at the beginning , before you get to see her for real, seems to be in total control of her life. But with every episode, bit by bit, in little conversations and gestures you she opens up a little and what inside is a little girl who feels a need to belong. A girl who is so drawn to captain Reynolds and so afraid of rejection. When she is kissing "wounded" Mal in the episode "Our Mrs.Reynolds" she is just that – a girl in love. And when it comes to "The heart of gold" , her reaction to Mal's spending a night with her friend Nandy is so incredibly heart-breaking….
Mal:
I think he has some deep feelings for her, but there are few things (and very major things) that are in a way : Inara's profession, his responsibilities as a captain and his total belief that Inara doesn't share his feelings. The last one is a most important one, I think. And I can absolutely see it, just another case of "oh, he is so clueless". Everyone around them seems to notice how Inara feels, what is wrong with you, captain?????? I am so so angry with you for sleeping with Nandy!! SO ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!! How come you have all these problems with Inara's profession and don't seem to have them with Nandy's profession?
I don't blame Inara for leaving at all.. I see that for her probably this was a moment when she realised that Mal will never love her. I do think Mal loves Inara, but I can see how from her point of view he doesn't. And think she felt she had to go because she has this big burning torch for him and it will never disappear if they are close.
Oh, I wish they shown us more of Mal/Inara in "Serenity", this wasn't enough for me. It seems that Ianra is going to stay on "Serenity", but I just want some more..
Just Another Woman In Love. I don't know who the singer is, but this song is beautiful (and haunting) . I like how this video shows Inara's feelings, so lovely..
Concoa Verdes Anos" by the Kronos Quartet. Oh, just so perfect and almost ethereal!
All American rejects: "If you are so strong, you might as well do it alone". ** sniff **

Date: 2007-03-24 01:16 pm (UTC)As for why he doesn't seem to have problems with Nandi's profession I think it's because he feels she is honest about it. She calls herself a whore, and that is what she is. I get the feeling that Mal thinks the term "companion" is a fancy and false way of saying whore, and that it glorifies the job.
I also think it's easier for him to accept Nandi, since he isn't bothered with jealousy as far as she is concerned.
At first I thought that Mal allows himself to be with Nandy just because she is good-looking, available, etc.. What made be sad was their sex scene. This scenes was so beautiful and there was so much feeling in it. I felt so jealous on Inara's behalf (I hope this is not a too strange thing to do :D) . It felt for me that Mal was really falling for Nandy. And because she died she will be always there is his memory. I would rather if Mal was having flash-backs of Inara during the sex scene. :(
Love. You can know all the math in the 'Verse, but take a boat in the air you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her home.
Oh, I loved it so too! And you gave me HOPE! I read this as if Mal wasn't speaking about himself specifically, but about all his crew members and their individual stories, loves of different kind. I agree with
I have to go into town soon and I am going to get DVD of "Serenity" and watch deleted scenes. I did a download on Wednesday, I was so sad after "The heart of gold" and this download doesn't have deleted scenes..
