For quite a ways into the movie, I was convinced that the beginning of the movie showed a SECOND escape for River from the Alliance. Simon was too good pretending to be an Alliance official(far from his "mud buying days" in Jaynestown) for me to believe that this was a flashback to River's first escape from the Alliance. Also, I can't help but feel that Joss actually changed his mind about how River was rescued (by Simon physically rescuing her) than he did in Firefly (made it sound like Simon just had to front money, and didn't see her until she came out of the crate). I'm sure he did this to help newbies understand what was going on, and to add drama --I'm just saying.

A few people thought that but if you listen to what was said between the Operative and the dude who ran the experiments, you'll hear that it was the first River rescue. He said that the Doctor spent his entire fortune and gave up a career in medicine to get her out. If it was a second escape, he wouldn't have had a fortune or a career in medicine to give up.
