[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
In the 25th century the "Philofly", an updated "Library on Wheels", goes from planet to planet to spread knowledge and hunt down overdue books. Constantly without budget, the crew are forced to conduct illicit deals with the members of small-run publishing cartels.

How is keeping River around anything but pity/altruism?
Simon's trying to preserve his genes!
I got nothin'.
Well, she's a crack shot. When she has her eyes closed. And there's always the chance she might shoot someone who isn't the enemy, for lack of understanding.

How is keeping River around anything but pity/altruism?
She did save the crew twice. Once with her guns, once against Early.
Then again, the Early thing was on account of her in the first place.
Then again again, the caper on Ariel wouldn't have happened if Simon hadn't needed to get her into a hospital, and that was profitable.
I think it is just a package deal, and Simon is too useful to lose. And, you know, I think at the end of it Mal, for one, was coming around to liking River.
Her hodgeberries bring all the boys to the yard?
Aaaarrrgghhh! That is wrong. So wrong. Now I have to go listen to bad eighties rock for weeks to purge that!
