River is no dummy.
Sweet scene.
Well she still has a sense of humor.
Oops, River said too much.
“Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live”
Oh crap.
If it hadn’t been for the whole religious fanatic thing, Simon and River probably could have stayed safer there than on Serenity.
Simon sassing back his father.
You are so right.
Well Simon’s father just chose between his own safety and his son.
Men of God make everyone feel guilty and judged.
First foreshadowing of Book’s past.
…but Mal can’t do it. He can’t leave his “crew” behind.
Simon’s actually holding his own surprisingly well.
Go Simon.
But reason won’t save either of you.
Not in the face of righteous ignorance.
“Time to go”, but not in the way Simon thinks she means.
Yah Serenity !
Yah Jayne
…What does that make us?
BIG DAMN HEROES
Ain’t we just.
Ah Jayne, you’re great.
“You were busy trying to get yourself lit on fire. It happens.”
You’re on my crew
So many great little moments in that very short dining table scene.
Simon pulling out the chair for Kaylee.
River taking the Jayne’s bread off his plate.
Jayne then trying to get more bread and Zoe pulling the bowl out of Jayne’s reach.
