This is just a bizarre thought that crossed my mind. 'Member when you were a kid and someone would ask, "Would you rather freeze to death or be burned alive?" Here's the FIREFLY version.

In FIREFLY, there's a whole lotta ways to die. Which would you prefer? List of possibilities:

Reavers
Getting shot (belly, back, head)
Running out of air
Freezing to death
Burnt at the stake
Starvation
Sucked through an engine
Sucked out the airlock
Zapped by a carrion house "net"
Beaten to death by Jayne
Stabbed in a duel
Blown up
The blue hands duo wave their wand thingy at you
Tortured to death
River's brain

Or any others I may have missed.

Personally, I'd choose death by Jayne. At least I'd get to die with my hands on him.

Anyone else?

I'd have to say sucked through the engine, it's quick and simple, plus, if you're lucky you'd muck up their engine so they'd have a helluva time trying to fix it without spare parts lying around!

I understand there is a point in the process of freezing to death where you suddenly start to feel all warm and comfy (becuase your body is no longer warmer than it's surroundings) just before you pass out and die. I could get behind feeling warm and comfy to death.

PhoenixRose being licked to death by River... now there's a thought... this is too obvious, but I'll say it anyway: I'll be in my bunk.

Other people can occasionally be useful, especially as minions. I want lots of minions.

Hmm... assuming what Tim Minnear hinted at about Inara's black vial was true, then I will take death by sex with a drop dead gorgeous companion, please. It is a hard, hard way to die, especially for a woman who displays mostly heterosexual tendencies, but, well, I would see it through until the end.

(Minnear said that in the original conception of Firefly, before fox toned down the darkness, there was going to an episode where Inara was kidnapped by Reavers, but survived because she had injected a chemical into her blood that killed anyone who had sex with her.)

My second choice would be death by the HoB.

I'm liking this River licking idea, but if that wasn't an option, I think that getting sucked out the airlock would be ok, or getting shot in the head, both are quick and almost painless.

I'd be game..but I think I'd prefer to be slowwwwly crushed between Zoe's Amazonian breasts.

I might come up for breath one or two times, but there would be a limit to how much of a fight I would put up.

I think I'll take a bullet to the back of the head. Quick, clean, gets the job done. And it certainly beats being eaten by Reavers. Of course, if there's some kind of death that involves being nekkid in a bed with Jayne, I'll take one for the team.

Well considering, I'm fighting with the crew & not against them I'd say going down in a blazing firefight. At least I die trying to be heroic. (though the death by Saffron's wiles is tempting)

Or if I did get attacked by Reavers it be my hope that one of the BDH's would put a bullet in my brainpan before I got et.

It isn't. Being sucked out an airlock, that is.

The brain can survive for a few seconds without oxygen, so you'd still be alive when your blood boils, your stomach contents get ripped out of you, and your lungs collapse. Horrible way to go.

I'd prefer to die. . . not at all, actually. Like Jayne, I plan to live through this.

Where exactly did Tim Minear say this? It'd be very Ninja Scroll of him to do something like that. And if having sex with Inara killed people her client base wouldn't be so good, and our fearless Capt. Tightpants couldn't end up with her!

The toxin isn't ALWAYS present, silly.
I myself have wondered why a Companion would have such thing, but I'm sure the Guild has it's reasons.

I've just finished reading "In the Company of a Courtesan" by Sarah Dunnant and in it, she describes a syrum that courtesans have in case of wiley customers. Maybe this is what Inara's got it for? So she and Mal can still get it on now, phew ;)
