Does anybody remember? Will the author step forward, please?
As for Mal and Zoe... I suppose anything is possible, but, personally, I don't think a romantic relationship between the two would be nearly as interesting as the relationship we currently see.
The way Mal and Zoe seem to need each other, and how that affects the other people in their lives...I just find that to be compelling.

I'm not 100% sure why (Cpl?) Zoe calls Sgt Mal "Sir", unless now that he owns his own truck/boat/spaceship, this is a self-promotion to the officer corps? These was no rule against fraternization among enlisted troops, but Mal and Zoe perhaps felt more like brother and sister, wading through muddy foxholes and such.
Select to view spoiler:
Perhaps Zoe will find comfort in a sexbot, er, Washbot? Joss is partial to sexbots, ya know, especially for resurrections. Or just have him cloned from an old toenail clipping?
But then again, perhaps Mal and Zoe could rekindle that old "I always wanted to sleep with you but never got around to it" thing, as Wash suspected. Tonight on some TV show, it had 2 70-year-olds telling their true-life story of 65 years of foreplay. So Mal & Zoe just might get around to it someday, in a time and verse far far away.

The way I see it, if they drop the power inequality in their relationship, then Mal loses his professional right hand. And that means a lot in terms of keeping him anchored to the world. What would he get to replace that absolute, unquestioning (by default of her subordinate position) loyalty?
I guess one of the reasons I mainly disagree on this is because I've known couples who were able to work together in one capacity or other and still manage to keep their personal life seperate. Just because one may be the boss doesn't mean it will take away from the underlying personal connection they have. Seperating work and play? Well its like how Zoe and Wash are. When they're doing a job, they're focused on that job, and then play afterwards. Similar with Zoe and Mal, notice they joke around with each other often.
You mentioned how you don't see the two talking about any personal matters, but then Mal doesn't really share anything with anyone. I can only assume that with him and Zoe being friends for so long she probably knows it all anyway. As for them not carrying each other emotionally, again I don't see that as a hindrance. My best friend and I are closer than sisters ever could be and yet out of all the years we've known each other (nearly half my life) she's never seen me cry once or vice versa. Doesn't mean we don't understand when the other is sad or hurting.

They are already a liability to each other. One can't do without the other.Mal always has her by his side.
