something Book did in the past is what he is running from, and I'm guessing something for the Alliance - perhaps he performed an Inquisitor type role?

I'd say you're on target.

Listening to the voices in River's head is one of the best parts in Objects in Space! So much hidden meaning - it would be a gold mine if we could figure it out.

Simon - "I would be there right now", while looking at his sister, and Kaylee is just staring at her coldly. He does say this exact phrase later on in the show.

Jayne - "I got stupid. The money was too good", looking remorseful at River. This is a paraphrase from Ariel.

Book - "I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?" condescendingly, but not looking at River.

Wash and Zoe - no words, just touching. River seems very empathetic here.

Inara - "I'm a big girl. Just tell me", looking at River. We would understand the 'Verse a lot better if we knew what this meant.

Mal - "None of it means a damn thing", in a choked-up voice, not looking anywhere in particular. This of course captures his hopelessness at the Battle of Serenity.

Hmm. It looks like these are memories. Simon's might have been foresight, but he also might have spoken these words before. The facing is not important, but the emotion in the voice is (comparing Simon and Jayne's twin comments). Book freaks me out.

Hmm, it's kind of interesting that all of River's "readings" seem to be past memories, because in general, what we see from River are things happening in the future. The only instance I can think of right now of River looking into someone's past is with Badger.

Hopefully the movie will shed some light on the Book and Inara mysteries.

I'm not thinking of any good examples of her seeing the future. There are tonnes of events where she sees the present ("hands of blue" - Serenity, "ghosts" - Bushwhacked, "fire" - Out of Gas, etc).

Ariel gives the greatest impression of foresight, but if she's just reading Jayne's mind (amongst other things) she knows what's about to happen. Safe is another good example of her knowing the past.

Hopefully it is 999,999 hours long and devided into hour long shots shown on a major tv network... Cry.

Anyone know where Joss lives? Got to go get the answers out of him.

why do sooo many people think that these are past memories?

I wonder what Early would have replied if Simon had asked "What is he then?" I like to think he would have said "A Shepherd." Like in the "I'm not a bounty hunter." "What are you?" "I'm a bounty hunter." exchange.
