Saw flick. Will refrain from posting opinion. Will make various heads explode. But know this. Know this. @@ 4evah.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Jars is right. She slashes him before he betrays her.Bah. You're right. I only came up with that theory after having to watch episodes out of order over and over, which is what happens when you toaster both of your roommates and three of your friends inside of one month. T-shirt it is, then.

I may have to seize the cat.
I always assumed she knew what he was going to do, and that's why she cut him.

Thing was, that would take precognition, since there hadn't yet been a plan to sneak River into Ariel, so Jayne wouldn't have had a reason to try to turn them in for the reward. That's where my theory sort of falls apart. She's psychic, but I'm not willing to believe she can see the future.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Allyson, as long as you don't set up SaveWash.com (I mean, somebody did that already) I'm sure you'll be fine.

I didn't think he'd made the decision to turn them in until River cut him. He's childish enough to want payback for it.

At this point, I believe River can know anything and everything.

"Safe" would tend to contradict that. Unless she liked the idea of doing a stunning Joan of Arc imitation...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Knowing is one thing - caring and being effective are two others.

What I was meaning to say is that it is not a great leap for me to believe she has flashes of precognition; I very deliberately used "can" rather than "does." Does she know everything? I don't think so. But I think she can see what's coming, what's already been, etc. But she doesn't see it completely, and she doesn't have any control over what she sees.
All interpretation, of course, and something about which I'm willing to just say, "Okay, you think I'm wrong, cool. There isn't particular evidence to support my perception fully. It's just what I think."
