Do you have a favourite episode?


I just finished my annual Firefly + Serenity marathon. I have had this tradition since 2004.

Back in 2002 Jaynestown was my favourite because it showed us the humane part of Jayne, and I loved the Hero of Canton song too.

But 3 years going the episode I like the most is Out of gas. The pilot Serenity is always there close.

Out of gas is such a great episode. How Mal hired Jayne, how Inara got on the boat, how Zoe disliked Wash when they met.

That is my favourite episode.

Each episode holds a place in my heart. I'm with you on Out of Gas, though. The background of how each crew member arrived on Serenity is great. It also shows the lengths that Mal will go to in order to keep his ship flying and his crew protected.

Right behind that is Jaynestown and Our Mrs Reynolds.

Hard, since I don't have an episode I dislike. But I'm going with War Stories.

I'm not sure I can pick a favorite episode. A favorite scene of mine is Kaylee in the poofy dress holding the giant strawberry talking with the three women trying to put her down. It's just very true to life in self hating miserable people trying to destroy the joy in others.

Love every episode but if forced to pick a favorite I would probably go with Shindig as well...

Why Banning Miller, what a vision you are in your fine dress. It must have taken a dozen slaves a dozen days to get you into that getup. 'Course your daddy tells me it takes the space of a schoolboy's wink to get you out of it again.

I think every episode is great, but the run from "Our Mrs. Reynolds" through "War Stories" is incredible. If I had to pick a favorite, I would go with "Out of Gas". I love the way the cinematography helps the viewer keep track of what part of the story is being told.

That's a good question. I have to go with Shindig, Ariel, Safe, War Stories, Heart of Gold, and Serenity (pilot).

Out of Gas and Ariel are the best eps.

Yeah, I'd have to agree that Out of Gas is the best episode. There are so many story threads told in such an interesting way. Best of all, the back stories of the core crew, and most importantly how they came upon Serenity. She's such an important character, but gets overlooked so easily because most people see her as just a ship. I get a little choked up every time I see the end of the episode where you realize the entire time the salesman is talking, he's going on about some other ship, and all Mal can focus on is the little Firefly off in the distance that has been left to rust in the sun.

reply

Yes, you hit it! Out of Gas is my favorite because it makes it so clear that Serenity herself is a character just as flawed and complex and lovable as the rest of the cast.

reply

Do you have a favourite episode?

Yes, all of them :)

Honestly though, it is very difficult to pick out just one.. it feels so exceedingly unfair to the others, hehe.

Yeah out of gas. But also objects in space. Because I think it was a significant episode for River. And the whole Lion thing.

On the episode Jaynestown...

The end conversation between Nathan Fillion & Adam baldwin...when Nathan says..

Every man ever got a statue made of him was one kind of a son of a bitch or another

Ain't about you jayne ...it's about what they need ...with excellent background score...

this episode is my favorite because of the bad-ass character for the very first time...is shown timid & fragile...simply loved it...
