I like to think that for all of the lines where River just mumbled Summer Glau came up with things that River might have said if she were able, these are things that I have noticed from re-watches based on what she mumbles:

In Shindig when Book, Simon and Jayne are playing "Tall Card" for the household chores River starts destroying some of the labels and boxes some of there food is in, mumbling all the while. I checked the subtitles which showed practically nothing revealing ("River mumbles incoherently") but by cranking the volume up I noticed she said "they're the one's, they're the one's who are doing it, who get to..." mumble mumble. And also the only stuff she destroys are Blue Sun products. Hmmm.

In Bushwhacked (I think, I'm terrible with the names - the one with the Reaver survivor) River wakes up screaming at the same time that this survivor wakes up in the sickbay, and it is obvious that she shares some psychic connection with him. I like to think that she has - while he was sleeping - been able to read the part of him which still knows who he is and has then felt that slip away into the nightmare of what he has become when he wakes up. What she says when she wakes up is "Jason!... No..". Ok not exactly conclusive by any measure, but It keeps me happy.

"So...You're a bounty hunter"
"No, thats not it at all"
"So what are you?"
"I'm a bounty hunter".

You may like to check out the shooting script on the wiki http://www.fireflywiki.org/103.html which has this as

RIVER
These are the ones that take you!
Little ones in the corner that you
almost don't see. But they're the
ones that reach in and do it.
They're the ones with teeth and you
have to smash them!

Quote:

RIVER
A million things, and the
little ends of the roots go
everywhere and when you
brush your teeth or all the
little blue things are
there but no one says it
because, because sometimes
they're afraid. And then
they come....

I like to see what they use as backgrounds in the sets, especially the outdoor type shots. In Shindig when they are outside the dressshop they are standing infront of a green and white thing with windows and an orange light. Looks to me like the side of a double decker bus with the indicator. Could be wrong but I like the idea of using something everyday out of context.

I finally noticed the shot of Mal's gun at the beginning of the opening credits.

(It appears once the Firefly logo comes onto the screen.)

The amount of times I've seen those credits...

I finally figured out that Mal's line to Kaylee "I'd like to be the king of all Londinum and wear a shiny hat" refers to a "spiffy" hat. For some reason I kept thinking that the "hat" was in some way light-reflecting. You'd think that with all the times I've seen this show I'd understand shiny in future slang, but in this scene I never caught it.

Oh my god, I've been thinking the same thing! LOL, how stupid of us...'that the hat was in someway light reflecting'
haha..sigh..

God, I feel like a fool. I just thought the image of him wearing a literally-shiny, metallic hat was so funny that its intended meaning didn't even register.

On "Serenity," after River is pulled out of the cooler, for the rest of the episode she is wearing Inara's robe.

At the beginning of "The Train Job," the belly dancer shimmies on over to Mal and the others, and hands Mal some bit of paper. It is this same bit of paper that Mal holds up later on the bridge as he says, "We have ourselves a job." The belly-dancer was the contact.

Also on the "Train Job," as River wanders around the infirmary, a light hits her face and she shudders. Photophobia.

Also, regarding "Bushwacked," just an overall thing, this episode is designed like "Train Job," to be the first episode you might watch. Like at the beginning, when Simon goes over his and River’s whole back-story with Inara (which she already knows), or the interrogation scenes with Harkin.

In Safe, River is dancing happily but stops, with a horrified look on her face. The way the ep is edited (& this may be no more than artistic license, but I think it's even cooler if taken literally), she doesn't stop when Book is shot; she stops when Mal notices Book has been shot.

I suppose she may have stopped 'cause she saw Simon was about to be snatched but, she seems to react calmly to imminent (also, point of interest, immanent) disaster, in Outa Gas.

Just noticed in the beginning of Objects in Space, when River's laying in bed, she hears a whispered mishmash of voices. The last one seems to be Early saying, "We're all just floating." So she probably knew he was around long before everyone else.
