Nope. I agree that she would have told Wash. And besides, she has the whole 'guy she never slept with thing' going on.

This is slightly OT, but I hope that as the series developed we would have explored the burden of surviving trauma. Can any of our Old Campaigners shed any light on the relationship between two people, each of whom are suppressing survivor guilt?
I can't find an emoticon for serious, for once

I have to say no as well.

Mal & Zoe have that old war buddy type of relationship. They have been through a lot together, seen a lot of things, saved one anothers lives (maybe several times over), and helped each other through times they thought they may not live through. The bond they share goes beyond simple friendship. I don't think Mal would have ever slept w/ Zoe for fear of what it would have done to the bond. Likewise for Zoe.

I agree with everyone who said that the way they act around each other reads like people who have *not* been lovers rather than people who have.

But there's an interesting question of why not--there must have been time after the war when Mal was no longer Zoe's superior officer (well, he was a noncom, but you know what I mean) and before Zoe was committed to Wash.

Sadistic crap legitimized by florid prose

I just don't think either of them sees the other in that way. Is it possible ? Sure. Likely? Nawww.

i'm thinking that they did. but no one knows about it. they do have a "history" and i believe it began before the War. whatever happened between them, they're still very close. on some levels, zoe is closer to mal than to her husband, but her love for Wash is very deep and true.

she calls mal 'sir' because he outranked her in the War, and now he's the captain and she's the first mate. his 2nd in command.
(riker almost never calls picard "jean-luc".)

zoe obeys mal's orders (look at the deleted scenes on the dvd set where zoe tells simon if mal were to tell her to shoot him, she would. in a heartbeat.)...except one: she married wash.
and if wash ever hurt zoe, mal would take him out.
in a heartbeat.
that's just my humble opinion.

"Take me, sir. Take me hard."
