HOT GALLERY: The Stars of the Cult-Favorite Series Firefly, Then and Now
It’s better to have lost and loved than never to have loved a brilliant, genre-bending, beautifully written show at all. Joss Whedon’s scifi-Western Firefly lasted less than a season on Fox, but its impact has far outlived the series. The cast reunited briefly in 2005 for the movie Serenity, but for devoted fans—like us—there just wasn’t enough of what was, for a time, the smartest, most original show on television.

Morena Baccarin as Inara Serra on Firefly
The lovely Inara was a Companion, a sort of prestigious space-geisha with a lot more autonomy. Though Inara lived in a shuttle aboard Serenity, she was not a member of its crew and took off on her own when she chose to see a client. Her relationship with Mal was fraught with attraction that was the show’s greatest “will they or won’t they.”
