100 things fave character River Tam

[memoonster]

#3 in my 100 favorite characters is River Tam from the show Firefly. River is played by the gorgeous and extremely talented Summer Glau. One of the things I love about River is the air of mystery that surrounds her. She is equal parts scared little girl and bad-ass warrior and Summer plays both sides of the coin brilliantly.

River wasn't my favorite character in Firefly but she was the one who in the end made me love her more than any other character. River Tam was the quintessential child-esque strong character. She seemed weak and fragile but underneath it all, she could "kill you with her brain". Her dynamic with all of the other characters was unbreachble, no one else but Summer Glau could have ever played River to the fullest extent that she did.
