Jayne's betrayal? Too soon? Inara's leaving too soon?

Okay, here's my take on it. Joss loves to see characters grow, change, and be redeemed. (That means there's hope for us, right?) In order for us to care if they are redeemable, you first gotta like 'em. Then have them do something really bad and then slow see them learn from their mistakes and become better human beings. So, I think Jaynes betrayal was an important step in his character development. He really was a selfish person. However, if the show had gone on we could have watched him grow into a better person because he was surrounded by good people. He'd be a more sensitve, kind person, but never very bright.

Inara, well her and Mal would struggle romantically for a few years and then finally get together. Then once they do, and you really start seeing their relationship working, Joss would kill her.

I always had an idea that Jayne and River were going to get together further on down the line (when she had mostly regained her sanity) after all look at the other couples: Wash and Zoe, Simon and Kaylee, Mal and Inara, leaving either Book or Jayne as a possible boyfriend. I just think its funny to think of Simons reaction - and remember how well Xander and Cordelia worked. It would be just like Joss to go from him selling her out to asking her out a year later.

More like he'd kill Mal. And probably Zoe, finally clearing the way for Jayne to take over, except that by now he doesn't want it anymore. . .

I seriously doubt that. Mal's already died once. Killing him off permanently is akin to killing off Angel or Buffy. Not gonna happen.

At LEAST not more than 2, or maybe 3, times.
