I really thought she had become the ship. :) *blush* Well, at least I seriously considered it. I mean, who knows what she's capable of? In my defense, Early thought the same.

I agree with slip wholeheartedly. Simon is reacting as a big brother here, the brother that had to endure many hours stuck in the back seat with a whiny sister -- "she's on my side again, she's touching me, she's looking at me!"Simon is being a smartass to Early -- which is very brave of him, I think. Early would have killed him without blinking, and Simon is giving him backchat. This is one of my favorite scenes, actually.

Sorry your brain hurts, asarian. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

I just love the moment when you can see that Early's finally beginning to slip...

River?
River?

... Serenity?

Yeah, I honestly thought "okaay..she really is, isn't she?" I thought so until finally seeing her in the ship, when we find out, along with Early that she's not in his mind, she's, "on my gorram ship!"

And I really loved Early's finally beginning to crack and go along with because he's scared.

I love how gorram brave Simon is. I mean, he's a civilian, right? He went to high school in a nice neighbourhood, he went to med school on a core planet, he probably hasn't been in a fistfight since grade school. He's probably been and taught and rewarded all his life to comply with authority figures and not make waves. But there he is, mouthing off to cold-blooded killers and physically attacking them to save his sister, even after he gets shot.

As Mal says, he ain't weak.

I know what you mean and that's another reason why I like Simon so much. He's so uptight and proper most of the season, and then you see him being all snarky to some guy who could easily hurt him badly (as he does) if not kill him.

Very shiny...

And that's a very valid characterization. Uptight and proper people can very easily get snarky when put in unfamiliar situations.

What's more, uptight and proper can often *seem* snarky in certain situations, even if snarkiness wasn't the intent. Think about Jaynestown, where Simon gets in a heap o'trouble by referring to a man as "sir".

I don't disagree on any particular point.

Oh, true...That was a misunderstood snark.

I wasn't sure. She was so convincing though that I was ready to fall for it. Simon's line isn't what told me she hadn't though. Just cause he doesn't think it's possible dosn't mean it she didn't. I figureds it out when she was talking to Mal. "I'm very close to him. He doesn't even see it." That's the line that revealed the truth to me.

I also like that line from Simon. And Early's reaction. "You people are all crazy" But I wasn't overly surprised by it. He isn't the tough guy but throughout the show, when he's backed in a bad situation he doesn't just cower and cry. He doesn't always know what to do but he always seems to be in control of himself.
