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.
