>_>

I have seen it.

Anyway, like I said, it's just an interpretation. Jayne isn't in the frame with Book when you get that close up and River's reading, so I can't tell for certain if Book is still looking at Jayne. If Book isn't looking at Jayne, he could be looking at River. Or maybe he's not looking at anyone.

And maybe looking at someone doesn't mean they're thinking at someone. There's a lot of ways to interpret it.

to interperate you need to first see what has been done befor. every time the camra was used as river throught her eyes why when as you say book is thinking about her is he the only one to not look diretly at the camera. you take all things at face value and refuse to look at the art form its self. you prob dont even get the way that every thing in all the episodes the lines and the music and the movment and stance of the actors iare all seperate strokes of the brush. you just sit back and look at the hole painting never stepping in to look at all the strokes that make the beauty of it i weep for you never being able to truly understand. I will cry crocodile tears for you

Art can have multiple interpretations. That's why it's art; someone can paint a picture, but it's the viewer that gives it meaning, purpose, emotion. I won't make any assumptions about what Joss Whedon was trying to show, because I am not Joss Whedon. I'm merely offering an alternative take on the same scenes you're discussing, and I have admitted I have no way of knowing whether they are THE TRUTH (capitalized) or not.

And there is no reason to go personal with your arguments. I haven't done so towards you. We disagree. That's fine. You needn't worry about my aesthetic sensibilities just because we don't view something the same way. Both of our perspectives may be valid.

when you watch it next time take it all into consideration. and we all have our OWN opinions. but you seem to have the ability to see as deep as a tea cup. but THE TRUTH is only joss knows for sure do ecsplain how the line " i dont give two humps if your inosent or not so where dose that leve you" aply only to river so hope you can clear that up for seeing you truth seem to be so much more astute then mine?

I never said my "truth" was. I've even said that it might not be the truth.

I don't like tea, can it be soda? Wait, no, that's bad for me.

You can find out what his secret is in a couple months when the comic book mini-series "A Shepherd's Tale" comes out.

I've decided to stop racking my brain about Book, if all I have to do is wait. Now my mind turns toward Inara's past...

Does anyone know exactly when "A Shepard's Tale" is going to come out???

Everything I read says late 2008, well that was last month and still no comics.

To my knowledge it was delayed (just like "Better Days"). No one has said exactly when it's supposed to come out, but I think I read somehere that it's supposed to come out around late March.
