Flights of Fancy

I can't wait to find out how River makes enough money to buy Mal a new shuttle. The power dynamics here are so interesting, and River's lethalness if she flips out is holding Mal and Jayne hostage. Jayne's fear of sliding into that dark quiet, which doesn't exactly fit his own notions of how a man should act, is so potent. I like Mal warning her that rape, isn't right. Mal is seeing correctly that although Jayne is male and a big guy, that it's River who is setting the boundaries of his and River's new relationship. Wonder what Zoe is going to think about this.
