Thanks, all. shucks Chills, even; cool.
Mr. Broom, no adversarial intent meant or assumed! I've been trying lately not to preface every sentence I write with "I think..." so perhaps I went overboard in the other direction, but of course my opinion is just conjecture. Unless the writer/creator tells us specifically what was meant (maybe even then), speculation is all we got, and one of the things I enjoy about this show is that so many things are ambiguous and open to different interpretations. Maybe River didn't know Mal was coming for them. Maybe she was thinking about home and Daddy, and that was all. My opinion is based on all the other evidence that we've gotten throughout the show that she is indeed psychic, and the way we've seen her express herself. (There's also the fact that I want her to have meant Mal.)
As for the Hodgeberry Love, I never saw anything incestuous between the two of them, in that scene or elsewhere, and still don't. The idea doesn't bother me, though, because there's no overt incestousness going on (which would be eww); just the hint of it is funny, like in the deleted scene from OMR and Simon's utterly shocked reaction there. I think the hodgeberry scene looked sexual mainly because River was feeding berries to Simon, and we as adults, seeing two adults doing that, associate that with sex. But River is very childlike in many ways, and that's something I've seen little little kids do with someone they love. They just associate it with caring and closeness, because sex hasn't even occurred to them yet. That's all I think that was.
