I'd have to disagree here, strongly. :) Mal is quite fond of River.

Yes, I definitely agree with you. I think Mal is very friendly towards River, and he protects her when he can. Best example: when he picks her up and brings her back to Serenity in the BDM, even when she's a threat, even when he could just have easily have left her. My comment was in response to:

Quote:

I think she is hearing what she is afraid they think about her.


All I was saying was that, were someone to argue the above point, they could use Mal's quote as an example.

I'm new here and this is my first post. Anyway, my favorite River moment is when she picks up a twig in her mind which turns out to be a gun in real life. I forgot which episode it was in.

I absolutely LOOOOOVE River's lucid moments. The moments where she just acts like a normal teenager with no special powers, and no crazy side, and not even that nice of a personality. I mean, those are the most awesome, because she's just normal. Like the 'am i talking to miranda' moment as well as the 'he needs so much looking after'. Even when she was playing with Kaylee I didn't get the sense as much as when she's talking back to the crew or Simon. I just love that about her.

I liked the scene when River and Simon in their space suits, clinging to the outside of the hull of Serenity, and Simon looking absolutely terrified while River was just enjoying the view immensely.

Other than Book's hair, I never got the impression that River was afraid of anything.

I always get a thrill from the scene in the BDM where River tells Simon "You always take care of me...my turn!" Then she hurls herself through the airlock doors, throws Simon's medical bag back inside,and opens up a 55 gallon drum of whoop ass on the Reavers.

"You know what the definition of a hero is? Someone who gets other people killed."

At the very end of BDM when they're fixing the ship and Kaylee and Simon are in the engine room and River pokes her head down to watch. Kind of creepy since it's her brother, but she'd probably "read" them anyways.

Crazy characters are always my favorites. Who doesn't love the sheer insanity that is Callisto:Warrior Queen? That lady was beyond bonkers. I think the 'soup in our hair' conversation between Zoe and Wash describes her best. Her randomness is at times endearing, and at times dangerous. But (imho) so gorram awesome!

Hands down, my favourite River moment is near the end of Serenity when Mal asks "River?" and the door opens for the HERO SHOT: River, posed like a warrior out of mythology, surrounded by a whole lot of dead Reavers with hardly a scratch on her. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it. Joss said (in the commentary) that this was the shot he made the movie for and I totally agree!! Electrifying!!! SHE'S SO GORRAMN COOL!!!

I want to have ur babies River!!

Err... Hands of Blue?

As for my moment - currently it's River in HoG, fascinated with a baby being born. I love them all in that scene: Simon, Inara, River. You could tell they're all in awe. After all that everyday killing going on it's kinda nice to see the opposite.

Oh, and another one: the way she says "You've got issues" to Early cracks me up all the time.
