... fully loaded, safety off...

I've been watching the first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (that's what you do when you've seen all of the FF episodes more than 3 times each right?). Last night I saw episode 11 Out of Mind, Out of Sight, in which a girl is so completely ignored and unpopular that she literally becomes invisible, and then crazy and tries to kill Cordellia. At the end of the show Buffy outwits her, throws a blanket over her and just as Buffy's about to finish her off 2 guys in black suits with white shirts and skinny, black ties (no blue gloves) come in and say, "we'll take it from here," after which they escort the invisible girl away. Then we see these same shadowy characters at the very end escorting the invisible girl down a hallway and tell her, "We think you'll like it here." There's a room full of invisible "students" there and the teacher instructs them to open a textbook to page whatever which says something like, "targeting terrorist leaders," and the invisible girl says "cool."
Not ground breaking stuff, just thought that early character use was interesting, that it's been around that long. Also gives some more cred to the River as a secret weapon theory.

That guy, working electric, he never drank with us!

Ooooh! The Alliance/Blue Sun Corporate goons started doing their thing 500 years in the past! What a concept. Also, another convoluted-yet-possible tie in to my Inara-is-actually-a-slayer theory....

The last time I tried to do a buffy/firefly connection, I was told that I should allow Joss to move on as an artist -_-

Inara a slayer? I like to think of River as a psuedo slayer created by the remnants of the Initive and the council.

Nah. River might have slayer capabilities, but she'd be on the side of Evil, having been "created" by the bad guys.

There was a previous thread where we were discussing (alright, arguing) the significance of the needle kit Inara takes out when the Reavers are flying by in a threating manner. MY theory is that she is really a slayer and normally uses the needle to subdue her slayer powers, as Giles did in the ep where Buffy has to fight the psycho vampire on her 18th birthday. The needle kit Inara has resembles the one Giles uses on Buffy. This, of course, is based on nothing but my ever-fertile imagination.

Maybe Inara is a Vengeance Demon and the syringe is bumpy-game-face suppressant.
