One possible episode I am considering ot write my analytical writing paper on is episode 14 of Firefly "Objects in Space. In this episode you get an intense feeling right from the beginning that the doctors sister, River, is a very unique person. A bounty hunter has come after her to claim the reward being offered by the alliance. The bounty hunter beats everyone on the ship but can't find river. Finally, River comes over a com system and says that she is now the ship. Eventually it is discovered that she is actually now on the bounty hunters ship. She formulates a plan with the recovering crew still on Serenity and they eventually push the bounty hunter into space.

The significant part in this episode is when River lets the bounty hunter know that she is in control and that she is the ship. This is key because the whole episode the hunter was dominating everyone on the ship. At one point he says something like "men are way more powerful then women", then ironically gets essentially killed by a womean. There is a pattern of outrageous comedic relief points. The captain asks the bounty hunter if he's with the Alliance, and he says "am i a lion, well i never really thought of myself as a lion but i have a strong roar". the captains like i said alliance. and the hunter is like "oh no im not with the alliance". It is also determined that the mechanic is not a lesbian because she is now into the doctor A very interesting part in the episode is when the bounty hunter looking on the shephard that he knocked out says "Pff, that's not a shephard", with no further explanation. That part really confused me and i would like to know more about it.
