I volunteer "Simon", his prissiness disturbs my calm.

I like the positive attitude lets hijack the thread and turn it into a what kind of character would you like to see added the crew of serenity.
Personally I'd like to see Joss start bringing more passengers on. The problem pre-BDM seemed to have been keeping Simon/River secret made it difficult to pick up travellers. If the heat from the Alliance was reduced by the conclusion of the BDM we could see quite a few passengers come on board for short durations of maybe an episode or two.

While Jayne readily admits that his kinda life don't last long, I don't think I'd take too kindly to him kickin'. Plus, he's the mercenary only-partly-a-good-guy kind of guy (as evidenced by the fact that he wears hats...it does make sense, I promise), so I doubt it'd make for good theater for him to die, anyway.
...Unless of course Mr. Whedon decided to make him throw away his life to save the others in a final act of absolution.
...
NOOOOOO!

I think Inara could have a one-night stand will Mal and then leaves and maybe goes to a monastery because she is pregnant and doesn't want to tell Mal.

I dunno.. I sense a bit of foreshadowing in Mal's hiring speech to Simon at the end of the pilot.
"Son, if I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed."
I can't say why, but I just get this erie Fates-In-A-Greek-Tragedy kinda sense that somehow, someway, someday... we may well see a faceoff between those two.

Starsong,
Good catch I remember that quote and remember thinking how much it sounded like a foreshadowing. Based on those Mal has killed on the show, like in The Message I wouldn't put it past him to be "holding" a bullet for Simon.
"It always had your name on it I was just holding it for you."

Maybe Jayne in a fit of jealousy kills Simon. Jayne does have big crush on Kaylee, so I think its possible.

Jayne has me worried. I think he and Mal are headed a dark road. Mal be holding a bullet for Jayne, though he held it back once. Jayne got stupid once, he may not be able to overcome his "true nature".
"I got stupid. The money was too good," Jayne.

Yeah, but remember that in the BDM, Jayne was the one who whispered, "Did he do it? Do you think Mal got the word out?"
And he seemed darn relieved when Zoe said that of course he did.
I think a lot of the tension between Mal and Jayne has faded, though it'll still flare once in a while. The basis of their spats is more the "top dog" mentality -- Mal's top dog, and Jayne always has to try to be.
That'll lead to constant low-level bickering, but when it comes down to it, Jayne wouldn't betray Mal. Screw up and say something stupid, yes, maybe start a fist fight between them, yes, but...I don't think anything requiring guns.
Also keep in mind that Jayne was the one Mal asked about how sober he'd been when he married Saffron. Something about that little exchange always tells me that they're more than just payor and payee.
Mal: How drunk was I last night?
Jayne: I dunno. I passed out.
Can't explain it, other than that Jayne's the only one Mal trusts to not make fun or exaggerate or feed him BS at that moment. He expects a straight answer.
