Firefly Marathon 2009: Our Mrs. Reynolds

Come on, let's face it, guys. This episode is a wet dream for most men. We have all the elements here:
- the blushing, innocent bride who needs a man to take care of her
- the blushing, hot innocent bride who needs a man to take care of her
- the blushing, ever-so-willing bride who needs a man to take care of her
- did I mention hot?
Also, this is the same bride who wants to do nothing but please her man in any way she can - even at the expense of her freedom to choose! Oh, wait, that's bad.
What I really like about this episode is the true strength in the character of Saffron or whatever her real name is. I cheer for Yo/Saff/Bridge when she proves that she is not what she seems. She turns the tables on all men (sure, Mal is a nice guy but he is rare in this Verse). She is a survivor. I only wish we had learned more about this character. Her past must be very interesting. I suppose it doesn't really matter because Joss Whedon writes women characters that can kick ass. Only this time, she is a woman who kicks ass for her own survival.
