They'll have to get past Mal, his nervy sidekick, Zoe (Gina Torres), and pilot Wash (Alan Tudyk)-- a married couple, although I didn't register that until I saw the show; a surly mercenary
named Jayne (Adam Baldwin), always on the verge of selling the others out; and, my favorite, the nerd's
dreamboat Kaylee (Jewel Staite)-- an undersexed ding - a-ling genius mechanic with an engine fetish.
