Saturdays will never work for me, but Sunday evenings would be great. Conflict with football, but that's only for a bit longer.

I just had the quote from Early about River's room possibly not being her room if she is not in it come up on the RQG, and decided that the difference between The Operative and Early, is that while they might both ponder such questions, The Operative would have pondered silently, and also come to a swift and solid conclusion. Again, silently.

Jewel Staite posted to Twitter that she just watched Serenity on Syfy and she wondered if there would ever be a time when she could watch that movie without crying like a baby. A hungry angry baby.

And that made me sniffly, so I thought I'd share.

Then he would have killed the room. With a sword.

With a sword.

How weird is that?

Killing the room with a sword, alas, that would not have been done silently. That would have been accompanied by much philosophizing and moralizing.

Also, I added a "swiftly and" to one of the silentlies in my original pondering. I didn't think anyone would read or respond so quickly.

I am now once again pondering on how truly frelled Early's life would have been, had River actually gone with him. Because the first time I watched it, I had this idea that River was volunteering to go with him, thinking to somehow convince him to make her a partner rather than actually turn her in.

I just wondered where he was planning to put her. That little ship of his didn't seem like it had room for two bodies, alive or dead.

I'm thinking he had ways of handling that - sedative plus zip ties (or 25th century equivalent) equals a cargo issue rather than a proper seat with safety restraints issue.

I should specify that I think the sedative would be mainly used to ease a prisoner into position. Early would prefer to be able to monologue at a conscious victim.
