Okay, I was watching River again tonight. No surprise, there. :) But then I saw something really curious in Bushwhacked. Look, if you will, at the outtake of this frame, from River gazing at the stars:
In the reflection of the glass of her helmet you see ... two figures dancing! To the left, there's a small girl with long black hair, in a dress, back arched, head tilted slightly to her right. And next to it, larger, what seems to be the same girl, standing up (though seemingly bent because of the glass).
How odd is that! Is this perhaps what River 'sees' and makes her smile? Her happy childhood, when she loved to dance?
Could be just my imagination, of course. I thought it was real cute, though.

hi asarian,
Listen i know you really have this special love for
River, but I think you are starting to see things that aren't there. I mean this to me looks like ...
I really don't know how to put this gently but a clit.
{edit} I am also looking at it on an old laptop.

I see a reflection of Simon's spacesuit helmet. Not terribly imaginative, sorry. I like what you see better, asarian!
edit: and looking closer, I think I see the "girl" on the left.

Nah, to me it looks like Gandalf the Grey mussing a Hobbit child's hair. Really it's just a trick of the light coupled with the human brain's incredible ability to see things that aren't there.
Edit: Besides we know what it is that River sees that's got her so totaly stoked. It's the stars, the wonderfull paint brush of the milky way lighting up infinity. A sight Simon could actually do without if it would mean he never had to wear a spacesuit again.

Sorry Asarian, I can't see anything either.
Maybe if I relax my eyes enough..oh look, a sailboat...oops wrong picture, never mind.

Hrmm... yeah, I see Gandalf giving benediction to a hobbit as well... ;p
Still, I think I like Asarian's better...

I think she sees a guy with a frightening obsession for her.
But what I see is a hopeless romantic who just hasn't had the harsh realities of the world beat him into oblivion yet. Here's to the future, mate.
Have you ever:
Used your teeth as wire strippers?
Given yourself stitches?
Made improvised munitions with no base supplies?
Pissed in a canteen?
Gone a month without bathing?
If so, you MIGHT just be a !HOOAH MOTHERF*CKER!

How much is that little Geisha in the window?

Admittedly, I now see Simon's helmet, too (on the right). I still see the little girl, though, on the left. :)

I hate to say it, but my personal thoughts are that the reflection is simply that, a reflection of something that was in the room (or set, or whatever) when they shot the footage. As a photographer, I can say that sometimes it's hard to predict what would be reflected at a particular angle. Not too mention that this is probably looking WAY too deep into what is a fairly straight-forward scene.
Wash: Yeah, but psychic? That sounds like science fiction.
Zoe: You live on a spaceship, dear.
