Last night I listened to the Firefly podcast that had the Australian Q&A with Joss. He said there that he had to break canon for the BDM and have Simon rescue River because it just wasn't working to have strangers breaking her out in the first minutes of the movie. He justified it by saying that Simon was lying/not telling all he knew in the series.

Just watched Serenity the episode again last night, and all I can say is that Simon is a damned good liar!

So if BDM is to be believed, then the whole story about an underground group breaking River out and shipping her to Simon in the cryogenic chamber makes is bogus. I guess I can buy it, if you interpret it as Simon trying to play down his role in the rescue.

In the series ("Serenity") Simon is embarrassed, apologetic almost, when he tells the crew it took "Money" to get her out. The personal rescue, in the BDM, really was fantastic. In the BDM, they still mention the money, btw, as the Operative says: "The boy spent his entire fortune developing the contacts to infiltrate this place." It was good enough for me. :)

But the good Doctor, from the get-to, has you know there's nothing he wouldn't do for her:

Simon: "You asked me what a man like me would kill for. And she's it."

Gaaah! I don't remember this line. Was it in Serenity the episode? I'm going to have to go back and look for it.
