What did you think of River's "background story" ?

Well now, she does complete her mission, doesn't she? and it scares the shit out of me! How else could one react? foreshadowing for a sequel... probably.
She is definetly not the sweet innocent young lady we saw, wanting to fly, at the end of the movie. The real question is, does Simon know and is he going to share that info with Mal? Most likely, NOT!

I think when River killed Dr. Joss, she was in a chemically induced, bizarro state of mind. Like a very, very, calm Reaver.
The higher ups probably saw the tape, with River telling the Doc of the failed PAX experiment on a fellow student, and ordered a clean up. Then, gave River the mission, thinking that she seemed to have the Doc's trust, and then do the job all to easy.
She's cute,
she's crazy,
she's also a bit creepy.
River Tam!
River Tam!

Chemically induced...ummm... more likely Behavioral Conditioning of the Suggestion variety.
Sublimination (her trigger in the Maidenhead) is reinforced through behavioral conditioning,
a la "A Clockwork Orange".

*smacks forehead*
Duh, the needles her brain and eyes.
Still, even in the movie, while River is "sleeping" in the chair, the doctors are saying something about amping up the drugs.

I'm no expert in Experimental Psych, but I do believe psycoactive drugs are used in conjuncture with conditioning, usually to trigger a negative response to stimuli, like inducing vomiting, for recovering alcoholics, when they drink.
But, River was clearly subjected to conditioning, and may still be a danger to all, on board. Just a thought
Poor thing

But... she's so cute.
Especially when she says:
"I do. But I like to hear you say it."

Yeah, cute, crazy-brilliant, and DEADLY and Serenity wouldn't have much of a plot without her being all three.

I love the sessons, they're very interesting, I wish they'd make more! And you're right without river being cute, crazy, deadly and brilliant FF and Serenity wouldn't be much

I'm not sure... I think that was actually a surgery where they were trying to alter that student's brain like they did with River. Trying to make a psychic assassin and whatnot. Plus, why would they "cut too deep" when the Pax is used in the air and not injected or whatever?
