I've been finger-fed by kids. It's them being imitative of their caregivers. Simon is River's caregiver, and she's throughout the episode she's very much in Kid Mode. I think it's just the fact that Summer's in her early twenties that's causing the hangups. Child behavior being manifested by adults seems to cause this sort of reaction.
Lord knows her IMDB picture's causing me a reaction. Yeesh.
Then, of course, there's the deleted scene where River claims to be having Simon's baby...
What age is River supposed to be? I think I figured it out at some point, but I don't recall.
The film says (white-fonted because while I doubt anyone cares about this, I'd rather err on the side of not getting stabbed) 17.
ETA: Very very sorry. Didn't put "color" in "font color=" the first time.
Cool, thanks. I won't ask about how long it is after the series, but, well, I'm anti-hodgeberry-subtext anyway.
I really didn't read any sexual tension in that scene at first airing. But, as with so many things, the Buffistas corrupted me for subsequent viewings.

Did you know about the quick-edit for spoiler font? Put a lower-case "s" at the beginning of a new line and what follows (until you hit enter again) is automatically whitefonted, without the risk of inadvertent spoilage by mistyped tag.
Can I just say that, in my opinion, RotS sucked a big fat one? And I even went into it expecting it to be bad.
Sorry, I only saw it at the weekend, and I still haven't gotten it out of my system.
Christ, is it time for Serenity yet? I am, in no way, getting jealous with all you buggers getting to see the preview. Not at all. ;-)
