I'd actually argue that River may have gotten the least screen time of all the crew. I don't have statistics or anything but it sure seemed like she was an after thought in a few episodes.

Call me thick here, but I didn't realize that Inara was sick. I vaguely remember the syringe...

It's an interesting theory that Serenity is what drew the characters together.

With regards to Simon saying in Safe that he can get money, I thought he was alluding to his estranged parents. During that episode, they were doing all the flashbacks, and I know that his father said he would not go back for Simon in jail, thereby "stating" that he was at his wits end with Simon, he didn't strike me as a very firm person. He struck me as someone who could be easily swayed or duped or controlled, a little flighty.

I didn't think the show was so much about River journey, because I think you're right, Zeek, on how much (or little) screen time she got. I thought maybe the world was just built up around Mal and Zoe's relationship and how tight it was. I guess because in the Pilot, it opened up with them; they'd had the longest history, and they work well together.

A newbie's thoughts.
