Bad idea to wear your Blue Sun shirt while river is around
That is a great theory

Purplebelly! You are a poet!
Now you should keep it up until you write the lyrics for the new hit song "River Madness"! We could be rich!
(We, because you'd be morally obliged to share with me since it was my idea!)

(Hi! I'm a horrible newbie, so please forgive any major breach of etiquette...)
I'm ready to buy the River going after the Blue Sun logo. But that brings up an interesting quandry: If she was in fact being trained by Blue Sun (via the Alliance, via the Blue Gloves), but has since developed a hatred and fear so intense that she will attack the logo itself...
Well... doesn't that make her the perfect psychic assassin for anyone looking to off some Blue Sun execs, or any number of the political strongboxes that Blue Sun has likely installed in various offices? So how long is it before someone recruits her based on this hatred?
Just a thought. I fiendishly enjoy playing devil's advocate and looking for loopholes...

Welcome! It is always good to have new folks join us. We are very friendly here.
Etiquette? We really don't have any secret handhakes or anything like that. Simple politeness goes a long way.
And yes, you have an interesting idea that I never thought of, personally. In fact, I never noticed any Blue Sun connection until I read threads on this site.
But it has been suggested (somewhere on this site) that River was not made as an assassin BY the Blue Suns, but rather AGAINST the Blue Suns.
I'm not sure which way it goes, myself, but I'm waiting patiently to find out.

Welcome, Ladydisdain! I'm a newbie too, so you're not the only one.
I do have something to mention on what you said.

I think it'll be an interesting day when someone does find that out (and now that you pointed it out, it seems almost inevitable if the original theory's true). And it makes me wonder...Jubal Early wasn't working for anybody, right? A freelancer. Body hunter. Kind of like Boba Fett (not to be mistaken with Bobby Fett on the commentary)...wherever there's money, no matter which side it's on, you do the job. What if someone was paying Jubal to bring River to them for that very reason? Granted, it's a long shot, since he had the wanted poster, but that could've just been for information on them.
Gah, it's too late in the night to think this hard!

Welcome to you, too, Badgergirl!
It is my opinion that Early was independent.

Thanks!
Well, considering he's a body/bounty hunter, he's getting payed by someone, and he mentioned that a few times. But he never specifically said who.

But that was just my take...

There it is, there it is. It's
always there if you look for it.
Everybody sees and nobody sees it...
It almost sounds to me as if River is describing some kind of subliminal programming technique
Little ones in the corner that you almost don't see.
That could surely describe a laser-scan/UPC symbol. Who notices those things anymore?
What if all that Blue Sun imagery is sending little tiny cumulative messages? Nothing too complicated. "Obey Authority", "Conform", "Consume."
Hmm... Where's John Carpenter when you need him?
