OK, I think that was River was in the chair. I'm down with how this could have been pre-River-hibernation.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I think River was already in cryo before Simon picked her up. IIRC.
But the scene from the trailer with River in the chair of doom and Simon with the flashy thing suggests either another rescue or a retconn of the original.
With the amount of trouble that River's bound to get into given her status as wanted fugitive I'm inclined to think that this scene is not a flashback. In the pilot episode Simon says:
For two years, I couldn't get near her. Then I was contacted by some men, some underground movement. They-they said she was in danger, that-that the government was... playing with her brain. If I funded them they could sneak her out in cryo. Get her to Persephone, and from there, I could take her... wherever.
From this passage it seems that the first time Simon meets up with River (albeit frozen) is on Persephone.

I haven't watched the preview in hopes of seeing it in theaters this weekend. Have they said what it's attached to?

Simon broke her loose. Cryo-dudes smuggled her out. Where's the grief?

There's hopes that it'll be shown with HGttG, but no guarantees, especially since they're from different studios.

I haven't seen it anywhere officially, Lilty, but speculation seems to point to Hitchhiker. I have no idea how those things work, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Somewhere yesterday (or so) there's a post of a Joss quote where he implies that, but also that he was not positive, which is why he wouldn't say the name of the flick.
