Visually that worked well, though I'm not sure what to make of it thematically.
River sees the gun as a branch, she gives it a meaning outside of being a weapon while Early sees it purely as functional, something finely crafted for a purpose of hurting.
But he does see it as 'finely crafted', which is a conceptual step beyond the purely functional.
in the commentary for Serenity, Joss makes a point of saying all the people who are pure products of the Alliance - River, Inara, the Operative - are very intuitive as well.
Wonderful! That's a touch of vindication for my theory, then. Or something.
