Can't you just picture Joss getting to the right part of the arc, turning away from Mal and saying to Tim Minear, "Okay, killer, he's all yours."

To paraphrase Joss, the show/movie/comic book is named after the ship and not after one of the BDHs. Anyone could easily be killed off!

You know Mal, IMO, is to much of a badass. He probably has some magic himself. If he did get killed he probably just kick satans ass and be let free of the bondage of death.
Yeah i said it, Mals a super hero, magic weilding badass...

I figure that the 'zed' got it just right at http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=5588
(Scroll down to his first post on Monday June 7).
(Scroll some more, until the Mal-centric stuff, yeah).
I think it's quite possible zoid got it so right that once word of speculated outcome reached Joss's ears/sight, that Whedon right then and there gave up on any further attempt to resurrect the Firefly series, given that the correct fate of Malcolm Reynolds' character was irrevocably spoiled.

Y'all know I'm just kidding, right? As if anyone can accurately predict a Jossverse. In fact, Mal would have been long dead and gone by season 2.5, along with River and Jayne, too. Cuz it's all about stoicism in the face of inevitable corporate folly, thus it's Zoë who would have carried the story through Season 7. But only four years after the series had been marginalised to the CBC.

If you really think about it, the show was named after the class of ship and there are 40,000(?) still flying in the 'Verse. That's a lot of other stories that could of been picked up.
Serenity herself wasn't safe...

Though, the good thing is Joss later said in the SE commentary that since Mal's death never happened, so he was able to appear in the movie.

I think Mal was pretty safe. Joss says he never likes to do the same thing twice, and y'all are forgetting that he already killed Mal once!
