Remember, though, Simon does not keep his scans a secret. In "War Stories", Simon has River's scans in the lightbox in his infirmary and is apparently unconcerned that Book is examining him. Now, I could believe Simon not being worried about Jayne or Mal seeing through a deception, but Book has shown too much knowledge in too many areas to be allowed to examine the evidence.

good point -
though i still feel the 'truth' was left open enough for future seasons (now fics) to explore.
as for Simon - i have almost two completely contradictory takes on him!
hence - i'm writing two stories (one light n comic/one very dark) to try and address this and explore both sides that i see. with some fairness, hopefully!

Where is the motive?
Once you answer that question, everything else will conveniently slot into place.
So, what is the motive for Simon to be untrustworthy. To protect River? I have suggested that and it explains a lot.
For some other reason? I will need to hear it and possible explanation.
(btw when I said masking, I meant the same as blocking. I do not buy that. The same as I do not but that River can surf a brain like we do the 'net.)
I will also pose another question here. Did Simon know Inara before boarding Serenity?

not a motive - just a reason. I don't mean to sound semantic (can you, actually, sound semantic??) but if i can grasp all the possible 'reasons' i can deduce the motive. (may be)

yes - his father payed for Inara to be Simon's 'first'.
still, at least he didn't get 'triggered in the maidenhead' eech.

It's ok to have different opinions. I thrive on this.

MerryK, I love your analisis. So detailed, and very logical! And I agree with what everyone has been saying about him, too.
Sorry I don't have much to add- you guys said it all for me!

I think he would have emptied his accounts before he got River out, so he would have some cashy money. Otherwise, how would he be able to pay the passenger fare?
Or, he could be bluffing. There's always that possibility.
