Rebooting "Firefly"/ What is Inara running away from?   In this version, Inara is the owner-captain of Serenity. I feel this makes more sense than a poor war-veteran like Mal being the owner. Although Serenity is a second-hand spaceship it isn't really as believable for Mal and Zoe to have been able to afford. If Inara really is the inspiration behind the Mona Lisa, it makes sense that she would want to hide this so a nomadic existence makes a lot of sense. As a Companion she can always find work on any colony. The reason she travels with, say Mal, Zoe, Simon and Wash is she could only emigrate from the colony she was previously based at by pretending to be married to Mal. Zoe is "married" to Simon and Wash is their pilot-mechanic. The other characters are introduced later, the first being Jane and the second being River, who had been in stasis since Simon joined the crew. Are some Reavers only pretending to be Reavers? As they appear to...

William Riker is a twenty-fourth century holder of The Darkness. The  Darkness is passed on when the next holder is conceived. This also causes the current  Darkness to die. The theory assumes that Q is-or could be-a manifestation of Riker's powers Riker  only has sex with aliens. Riker apparently also is a Q, as he has their powers. He also has a difficult relationship with his father (although if my theory is correct Kyle Riker must be a foster father or a manifestation of his powers) It could be explained that Riker avoids relationships with human women being The Darkness due to the risk of pregnancy.  So he makes sure only to have relationships with alien women.... ....................................................................................................and holodeck characters.
