It's a school, a science project, a weapons project, and, fundamentally, a harem, a place where female minds and bodies are appropriated and subjugated by men.
It's curious (to me) that you touch on this in several places -- the het male gaze is everywhere in your commentary -- but less on the ways that Fred qua Fred -- not as an agent of the Alliance -- uses River.
I find the teachercrush trope hard to evoke too, for the opposite reason.
I thought there was something else I wanted to say, but I have no idea what it was.
