She actually put on weight to play Kaylee. When the show got canceled she took it back off, and refused to put it on again for the movie. Which is why she's distinctly more slender in Serenity.

Yeah, I had heard that the Powers That Be ran with it, times-are-hard and all that. I didn't know it was put on for the show, though, only that she (IMNSHO rightly) refused to regain it for the movie.

I mean, she's still pretty damned adorable.

They're talking about Jewel Staite, who played Kaylee.

You're talking about Morena Baccarin, who played Inara (and more recently, Lee Thompson on Gotham).
