Ah, but River has displayed precognitive abilities as well. In "Objects in Space" as she's wandering around the ship, she "hears" people say things that they have said in the PAST, are thinking but not saying, and will say in the FUTURE.

...still a little whimsical in the brain pan...

I got the impression from how Jayne spoke to the person he arranged it with that he had been planing it for quite a while, it was just that this was the perfect opportunity.

Jayne may have been planning it but the River attack decided it. I don't think the fact that River attacked him is what pissed him off (I mean besides being attacked). I think he was more upset that Mal took it so lightly. Mal gets his dander up when any one of his crew is hurt or threaten. He brushed aside the River/Jayne incident like Jayne was not as important as anyone else. I think Jayne was hurt (feelings I mean) and was trying to fix Mal more then River.

My question to the Group - Where the hell was I that I miised all the Blue SUn Stuff? Where did they start using it? Must have been gazing at Jayne and forgot to pay attention.

Morbid and creep-ifying I got no problem with.

They made it very clear that Jane was wearing a Blue Sun logo when River slashed his chest.

They didn't show the blue sun logo when she was tearing off the labels of the cans. So methinks the label tearing incident had more to do with the nature of labels and cans, or surfaces and contents.

If Blue Sun was trying to make Summer into a psychic assasin in the body of a pretty girl:

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!

Is she talking about what they were turning her into? They were trying to change the contents of her can?

spaceships, gunfights, and the human condition what more could you want?

There it is, there it is. It's
always there if you look for it.
Everybody sees and nobody sees it...

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....

Wild scary.
You know, if you read that a certain way, it honestly ALMOST sounds like she's referring to RFID tags.. or am I just wiggin here ?

Straight up, it's the first thing I thought of.

I doubt it. In HoG, Nandi says something like "they don't have guilds out here, and they even let men run the houses..."

Good. Thanks for the update.

It may be even worse than that...in one of the other threads, someone hypothesized that all blue sun products may be laced with some chemical-/ bio-/nano- technology that helps the alliance control the population somehow (perhaps even making it possible to use those sonic brain-melting stick thingys that the blue hands used in Ariel)

I think this is one of those situations where the simplest explanation is probably the one we should go with. . .unless the commentary specifically says otherwise, I think we can take what we know of River's experience, the fact that Blue Sun has their logo on almost EVERY consumable there is, and it was, in fact, on Jayne's shirt. . .that's what tripped her trigger. . .THAT time. It's also the only time her outburst was OVERTLY violent. (not counting war stories, which wasn't so much an outburst)

For my Master's thesis in Abnormal Psych, we're supposed to do extended evaluation on someone. . .Fictional or Historical character. . .not allowed to do someone we could actually INTERVIEW. . .and I picked River. It's very challenging.

If FOX hadn't been idiots, I'd be DONE by now.

Static,
I haven't read all of this thread but I'm thinking that River would have been a very challenging subject for your Masters Thesis under any circumstances. I totally feel your frustration with Fox. Wonder if you could sue them ...

Maybe I could get them to reimburse me for my tuition. . .especially since the Army is paying for it, so I could 'double dip'

heeheeheeheeheeheehee.
