Zoe was Mal's first mate and closest friend. They had been through war together and knew each other like the backs of their own hands. Zoe was also happily married to Serenity's goofy, fun-loving pilot Wash, while Mal was busy denying his love for resident courtesan Inara. Mal once endured extended torture so Zoe could save her less-torture-resilient husband before charging back to save him. These two always knew they could rely on one another, no matter what.
Firefly didn't even get to finish out its one full season on FOX back in 2002 but despite its early cancellation, the fans love for the crew of the Serenity never died. In fact, it got stronger. So much so that a feature film, Serenity, was released in theaters in 2005. Hope of a sequel has always had fans of Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, and the rest of the memorable cast feeling shiny.
We're still mourning the demise of Shepherd Book in the feature film Serenity but Ron Glass is everywhere. We've seen him most recently in guest spots on CBS' CSI and ABC's Marvel Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Was there anyone who didn't love Kaylee on Firefly? Short of breaking out the Firefly dvds, if you want to see more of Jewel, sci-fi fans can also check out the canceled Stargate Atlantis and crime fans can watch the final season of The Killing on Netflix.
Mal: I gotta know how close the Alliance is, exactly how much you told them before Wash scrambled your call. So I've given Jayne here the job of finding out. Jayne: He was non-specific as to how.
