I'm with Beverly and Rag. The second-released of the session videos made me think so even more, as River explicitly says she couldn't do what Simon does.
Mal: You want to tell me how come there's a statue of you here looking at me like I owe him something? Jayne: Wishing I could, Captain.

Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
For those people complaining about dial-up and/or no sound earlier, the site now has transcripts up.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I'm on dial-up. Session 22 is about 6.5Mb. It's worth the time to download.

Oh, definitely. The transcripts don't do these things justice, really.

Who? moi??
I realize I am missing some of the innuendo, but the transcripts are all I can get. Thank you, PC. Very much.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm with Beverly too. I always felt that Daddy Tam was uninterested in River, and basically sold her to purchase status or a good future for his soon.
It would not surprise me at all if they had planned to give River to the Alliance before she was even born. It would explain why neither parent ever became very attached to their daughter. Which I infer from the fact that River talks about home and her life there with Simon, but never mentions her parents (as someone already said). I imagine genetic manipulation conspiracy theories.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Huh. I never really considered it in that light, though I did feel that by the time Simon was making waves, they'd moved up in the world and grown much more attached to their status.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
So, you're suggesting she was Ender Wiggined? I'd be a bit surprised by Joss ripping off that idea so blatantly. So blatantly, in fact, that it's not until 3 years later that we're figuring it out! Mwahahaha!
