War Stories:
"Don't look,don't look!"
River's stands, head turned away.
Blam! Blam! Blam!
Defining moment of just how capable River is, revealed only to Kaylee. Then comes the smile followed by, "No power in the 'verse can stop me."
Chills.

I disagree. I think she is hearing what they are thinking. I know they all care about River, and would never say those things outloud. But, they're human, and we all have those little "pitty party" moments. It isn't necessarily what they are thinking at the moment, but I think she's reading those "dark thoughts" that we all have from time to time. I know Simon would never hesistate to save River, or to be there to take care of her, but I don't believe for a moment that he doesn't have thoughts of where he could be and what he has given up for her. It's normal. We all have our dark and selfish moments, and I think she's picking up on those thoughts. (And if Book was an operative, I can easily see him having those thoughts)
Just my 2 cents

I feel so much sympathy for River about that moment. She has been so helpless until then. She knows that she has brought so much danger and disaster down upon people she cares for. She has finally made a contribution. She has saved not just Kaylee, but the rest of the crew, who would have been killed if Serenity had been lost.
It must have been her first moment of happiness and pride since she entered the Academy.
She turns to share the moment with her best friend…
… and see how the friend responds.
