She also smiles and laughs a lot and thats what makes her so incredibly sweet. We didn't saw River or Cameron smiling that much.

This is definitely true.

But I have to say the rare occurrence of River smiling was always a wonderful scene to behold and were my favorite parts of the series. Half of her smiling, so about two times , was done in a space suit. It may seem a small detail, but I was depressed we never found the reason for her fascination with space. If I forget many of the scenes, I will always remember the scene with River and Simon hiding outside the hull of the ship.

But sometimes I want to see a Summer character who is happy and smiles and laughs a lot and enjoys her life.

BTW I'd be curious what River found so fascinating in space.

The other scene which was similar was in TSCC in Alison form Palmdale when Cameron played with Jody and she laughed and smiled, forgetting the war, everything. When John came to bring her home I wanted him to leave her alone and let her be happy with Alisons personality.

I was not suggesting otherwise. It must be remembered though happy normal people are boring, so being a bit off is not a bad thing (in fiction). It would be nice if it did not go the complete opposite direction either, but everything has its advantages.

Only problem with that scene is that it is probably not for real. Saying it is a problem is incorrect as that is how it is suppose to be. It is just that with this scene I do not know how to feel, whereas with River being happy it just feels great. Not bashing the scene or T:TSCC, just saying that it is very different emotionally to see Cameron like that rather than River. With Cameron it is confusing, which I am almost certain is the desired effect, and it worked magnificently.

Its not like Bennett was completely normal. She was a mad, vengeful scientist besides being a sweet, shy girl( superb combination biggrin ).

It was totally awesome! When was the last time when you felt exactly what a character felt in a TV show? This scene could have easily been a disaster too. Only Summers ability to portray emotions so strongly is what made these scenes awesome.

There is a difference between a happy character and a normal character, Summer should never play normal characters. Happy characters, however are a different story.

It is good to remember that Water is far more refreshing in a desert. By this I mean that a commodity that is scarce can truly be appreciated, and this is why River's happiness is so powerful.

This is precisely the reason that those who suggest Summer can only play a mindless cyborg ought to see the doctor right away and get a prescription for reality pills. For them they will not be orally administered.

Another good example is when she pleaded John to not remove her chip in Samson and Delilah. There is a girl, crying and begging not to kill her, she looks so genuine and she tells you that she loves you. You know that she has to lie but even then your hearth doesn't want to believe it. Summer played it in a so moving way that you believed her totally and felt the same stress which was on John, believe to your hearth and risk being killed or pull out the chip despite she pleades you so much not to do that? I could fully understand how hard it was to John to pull that chip out finally.
