She killed the door with her brain?

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.
Man, the quote generator just threw up Zoe talking about her and Wash's beautiful baby for me. Sob!
Matt, I also thought it was funny that River must have opened the door, then posed dramatically.
Let's see. She was exhausted, and used the point of one of the weapons to reach over and hit the door-open button.
Wait. Kaylee said she sealed it so it couldn't be opened from the outside, so the Reavers couldn't get in. I can believe River could override it, but not without putting down the dripping weapons of heroism.
River can do a lot of shit we don't necessarily know about. I have no problem with wanking that she opened it psychically.
Maybe it was on a motion detector? So the standing-still (or being stone dead, on the Reavers part) would have triggered it if held long enough?
Today's Unshelved comic is about Serenity.
Yeah, but River hasn't been shown to be able to move things telekinetically. I could buy the motion detector thing, though. I love that dramatic moment, so I'm willing to wave logic for it, but it would be nice to have some logic, even so.
Maybe it was automatically triggered by the lift coming back down. I could see Mr. Universe having his doors timed to his walking speed so they could open and close in a Get Smart sort of fashion without him having to hit the buttons. So "It takes me 10 seconds from the lift reaching the floor for me to reach these doors and I'll have them open on that count."
Or something.
Maybe River decaptitated the last Reaver and his head flew into the button.
Ooh, I like that idea Kalshane.
Maybe it was on a motion detector?
This makes perfect sense. After all, Star Trek doors have been able to detect dramatic pauses and poses for years.
I also like Kalshane's Get Smart theory.
