Some folk are a little unhappy about certain characters in firefly, for instance there are those who think Simon & River are a danger to the firefly crew because they have the Alliance on their tails, others say Inara might put the group in jeopardy because she's not really one of them and supported unification, some are unsure about Shepherd what is his past about, while others think Jayne is untrustworthy.

So what do you folks think ?

The biggest danger to the longevity of individual characters aboard Serenity is Whedon.

They're all going to die.

Actually, Tim (The Reaper) Minear is an even bigger danger. Kill 'em all dead, he will.

I was just funnin'.

That said, I could probably make a case for him being the biggest threat. It would go something along the lines of who would be the least likely to turn on Mal:
Zoe - Always faithful, always ready.
Kaylee - Serenity, 'nuff said.
River - Mal's the replacement father figure, She'll hold on to this life preserver with both hands.
Simon - Where goes River, there goes Simon.
Book - Rightly or wrongly he's latched on to Mal as his unicorn. He'll redeem himself by restoring Mal's faith no matter where that takes him.

Now things get a bit trickier:
Jayne - Why does the whipped dog still come at the master's call? He won't knowingly turn on Mal himself. He's learned that turning on anyone else is the same thing. Jayne knows he can trust Mal and will always be treated fairly (even the airlock incident) which is probably better than he's ever had it. He won't foul his own nest again.
Inara - She might leave Serenity but she would never endanger Kaylee. Would she endanger Mal? Probably not.

Which brings us to Wash. What's his motivation for being on Serenity? Would he have moved on if he hadn't married Zoe? Wouldn't things be a lot simpler if they settled down someplace safer? Zoe's never going to leave Mal's side while he's still alive. Sure would solve a lot of problems if Mal was out of the picture.

Just musing aloud
