Mal & Co. are the cream of the survival crop . . .

I could see Inara having the fame and adulation of a Morena Baccarin. Inara was bound to rise in the world, no matter what world. And Jayne would be a low-level thug for a Mexican drug cartel. Joining Serenity was the best thing that ever happened to Jayne. Wash is flying the cartel's planes. Kaylee is an employee fixing John Deere tractors in Nebraska and is married to a highway patrolman. She likes manly men with guns.

Zoe, Mal, Book were profoundly diverted from their lives by the Unification War. With no Alliance, their stories come out completely different. Zoe is in the military for 25 years, working on helicopters, never rising past sergeant. Mal is a cattle rancher, and not very successful businessman, because of drought and fluctuating prices for beef. Book is one of those big-time gangsters that come to an unfortunate end on Breaking Bad.

River lives her dreams as a prima ballerina. Retiring at 30, she gets a PhD in biology, wins bronze in biathlon (skiing/shooting), but decides to open a dance school in Minneapolis. She visits Simon every two week. Simon works in Rochester, Minnesota, where Mayo Clinic is, as a thoracic surgeon. His practice has the lowest rate of post-surgical complications of any in the state.
