The River character and all of that creepy command-language stuff about her aged like milk, especially now that I'm aware of what a sex pest creep Whedon is.
No but bro what if the dubiously aged socially vulnerable girl character was like, also a sexy blank assassin agent 47 manchurian killbot, but in a way that removes even the flimsiest pretext of her skills granting her agency?
River seemed outright plucked from Joss Whedon's personal masturbatory fantasies, which made her "born yesterday" style emotional and developmental issues real fucking sus.

There was apparently also supposed to be something really bad planned for Inara
CW: SA
she was to have a scene where the Reavers would gang rape her, but they'd die because she'd injected herself with an anti-rape serum or something
:cringe: It really is better that there was never a second season.
