I've always felt Mal was very much like Butch. Love that dynamic.

Now - how many jelly beans does it take to bribe you for that piece of info about Inara hey?

I think they'd keep going until physically the toll was to much on them. Then they'd probably go their separate ways, settle down on more backwater worlds and live simpler lives.

After Dragon con, I'm one of the people who heard Nathan reveal Inara's big secret. Won't say what it is out loud, but it's huge. Knowing it means a lot of Mal/Inara's scenes have a vaster unspoken undercurrent than before.

It's either a Butch and Sundance end, but with Zoe, not Jayne or Mal will end his days on a backwater planet scraping a living out of a run down ranch.

But I do like the Butch and Sundance end better.

Ultimately, I think, there could only be one end for Mal:

Without telling anyone where he's going - not that he knows himself, nor does he care overly much - he fires up Serenity one last time, takes her up, picks a flight vector at random...and makes the theme song true - "Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't comin' back" - because he just keeps on flyin' 'til he can't.

Such a man would never want to die anywhere but in space, in the company of his best girl.

Perhaps Serenity would become a legend in the 'verse, a ghost ship, cap'ns and lawbreakers claiming to have seen her flyin' by...
