See, I thought that was interesting, too -- mostly because it was almost an echo of what Book had just been telling Simon -- "Don't think; just shoot." In all likelihood Simon, if he thought about what he was doing, would freeze up or at least hesitate and not be able to shoot. In the same way, maybe, if River looked her adversaries in the face, she'd also freeze up or not be able to shoot. (River's previous reactions during fights or the suggestion of violence tend to indicate that violence scares and sickens her.)

Man, what an addictive show.

Just watched it again too. First she looks around and sees all the bad guys. Then she says can't look. Does she record their positions in her mind or connect with them through special powers to know where they are? Or could it be she's just a killing machine who's instincts just kick in?

After this episode I might have to change my name to HotForRiver or HotForTheCounsler.

Nah, ain't likely

"Creeped out" as is suggested earlier, plus ashamed and/or embarrassed, plus confused, lots and lots of confused.
