On a few other points, there is no evidence in the show that the Alliance is a totalitarian dictatorship, or in fact any kind of dictatorship. There is at least one reference in the show to the existence of an elected legislative body (the joke about River being in Congress). In fact, everything we see in the show suggests that the Alliance is a basically free society. The Alliance has many unsavory features, but it is not a dictatorship, or certainly not a totalitarian one. Incidentally, I\'m not a big \'\'Firefly\'\' fan, but I\'m not at all convinced that you are right.
