Firefly trivia:

According to Amy Pascale's 2014 biography of Joss Whedon, Whedon proposed a Firefly plotline in which Inara injected herself with a prophylactic solution - not a birth control but a serum that would poison anyone who raped her.

Whedon's idea was that Inara would then be kidnapped and gang-raped, but that the rapes would take place offscreen, and the only sign of them would be a pile of her rapists later found dead. :eek:
This plotline was nixed by the network and no version of it ever appeared on the show.

Thats not the only plotline they had ideas for. And every TV show has ideas they never actually plan to use on the show for real. Of course since Fox only let them produce 14 episodes and only let them air 12, this is all moot.
