TBH, I couldn't really care how high I rate as a Browncoat. What I've said, plain and simple, is that the series the movie and book do not contradict each other. I've pointed out what was actually said in the pilot DOES NOT CONFIRM this supposed discrepancy, so anyone claiming it does is equally wrong. I also never claimed Simon lied personally... because my point again is that I don't believe he did. You also used both remarks yourself that could be taken either way... so really where does that leave things?
As for problem for the series... uh, if there isn't one in the movie... well... how can it create one in the series..? I don't particularly expect everyone to have read the book, what I did say about it is that it gives evidence and backstory that shows these contradictions pretty much aren't there.
Finally... if this argument was so pointless and such a waste of time, why bother? Why not just walk on by and leave us to it?
To think I always hear Browncoats are such friendly folks. You seem to have misunderstood what I've posted mostly. I'll leave it at that.

Frankly, I don't see the need for testiness here. As I see it, both sides are right.
Yes, Joss knowingly broke canon when he had Simon rescue River in person, and did so for the sake of storytelling in the movie.
And yes, it's perfectly possible to reconcile the two stories so they fit together neatly. All it takes is one inspired half-truth -- really, a half-truth of omission -- from Simon. Whether or not that reconciliation was intended or just (as would appear) a lucky break hardly matters, does it?

I'm pointin' right at it!
