Glad you bumped this, Wytchcroft.
One of the previous posters posed the question (several years ago...) about Mal and Inara's thoughts that River picked up on.
I don't think that "Go ahead tell me, I'm a big girl" and "None of it means a damn thing" necessarily are about each other. It seems to me that River picked up on deep emotions/thoughts from the crew members. Not what they were thinking at the time but more some unconscious thoughts that "define" the character.
"None of it means a damn thing" seems to describe Mal's outlook on life.
I think that "Go ahead tell me, I'm a big girl" is something from Inara's past and has nothing to do with Mal.

yes... it almost sounds like she was getting bad news - so more evidence that she might be sick...

I'm not a believer of the Sick/Dying Inara theory. Something's going on with her but that just doesn't feel right.
I have my own theory about the "Go ahead..." line which I will be working into a fic at some point in the near future.

i think there's evidence for it - but it's not a likeable theory - not one i would use myself - but the kind of thing a show might easily go for nonetheless...
and charlotte i'm DAMN sure YOU can do better!:)

I'm of the opinion that Inara's thoughts are her longing for Mal to finally be honest with her about his feelings for her and Mal's are his believing that he cant be honest with her as he cant give her what she needs.But that is just my personal take on it.

This is just my theory on the Mal/Inara vision River hd, and in no way is it any more valid than any others, but I sense Mal's saying none of it matters, [sic] I think that is his general outlook on life. Mal had nothing after the war, but refused to just lie down and die, and is plotting forward without a guiding star. I think the Inara comment might also be along the same lines.

I'm gonna agree with Vader on this one.
I think River was reading the things the characters were feeling at the time of the "reading".
===
Simon: "I'd be there right now."
He was talking about "there".
---
Kaylee's blank face.
Maybe she doesn't relate to Simon's story very well. *shrugs*
---
Jayne: "I got stupid, the money was too good."
Could be that's the first thing that enters Jayne's mind each time he sees River after Ariel.
---
Book: "I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So, where does that put *you*."
Book was talking about a "bad guy"(Jayne) taking Orders, and thought for a sec of why *he's* taking Orders.
---
River "feeling" Wash and Zoe.
Nuff said.
===
The other characters seem to fit this theory.
