Just got this in the random corner quote, and thought I'd throw it out here for Nilly to savor when she swings through.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?! - River, 'War Stories'
Yes. That's it. Thanks Allyson. I am going to stick it in my favorites so that I don't have to ask again. Doh!

God, this quote. Wow.
I am a total River fanboy. I am more fascinated by her than anything else I can think of in the history of television. That I've seen. I think
Twin Peaks
might offer some contenders.
Did I mention that
Objects in Space
was my favorite ep? Yeah.

In the movie, there's a cool scene where River talks about coffee and pie.
OK, I made that up.
And just off the top of my head, I can't think of a television character I've been more fascinated by either. Well, maybe by Spock, but that was when I was a kid....
I think
Objects in Space
is worth four!.
Out of Gas
? I don't know. At least six!. Perhaps eight or ten, but I hate to be extravagant.
Well, whatever the maximum number of !, Out of Gas should have one more. Maybe Objects in Space too....
One ! is clearly acceptable.
If
n
!'s are acceptable,
n+1
!'s are also acceptable.
Therefore, by induction, both OiS and OoG can acceptably have an infinite number of !'s.
Except OoG should be able to have ∞+1 !'s.
Except OoG should be able to have ∞+1 !'s.
I'm not sure the induction hypothesis allows for uncountable infinties. You'll need to prove that by a more rigorous method. I'm thinking a proof by contradiction is almost sure to be your best bet.
"Assume OoG can only have a countable number of !'s, reasonably..."
You can take it from there.
