Hard to see that I kept forgetting to include that Pilot Serenity was awarded Emmy for Special Effects, but stuck that in now.

ECG mentions that Gina was married 2 days after Firefly first aired, which would be 22 September. And she took honeymoon during filming of Out of Gas. This all confirms those dates in the chronology.

I was trying to show the interactivity of the airing and filming.
I don't see that I mentioned this, but I was referring to:
the filming of Ariel, when Jayne is scheduled to be killed off, coming after internet polls show he is the most popular character on the show.
The airing of Train Job, and then the script and filming of War Stories, bringing Niska back.
The airing of OMR, and then the filming weeks later of Trash, bringing back YoSafBrig.

I don't recall if I noticed this before, but it does not look like I posted this observation:
Shindig and Safe, episodes 3 and 4 following TTJ and BW, were not aired in sequence, but were delayed in their broadcast until after the next 3 episodes were aired.
I realized that it might have been because Shindig was the first to feature a return character, which was Badger. Nobody watching the season unfold knew this, because he had been in Pilot Serenity, which was not aired.
This suggests to me that Joss & co had still hoped to get Serenity Pilot aired, and then they would broadcast Shindig afterwards.
By the time Shindig did air, War Stories was in the pipeline to be filmed, and would be the second episode with returning character (Niska), so the gang must have given up hope that the Pilot would be aired, and let Shindig out.
Kind of poignant.

We are a couple days away from the 15th Anniversary of the first broadcast of our BDS.
This OP has the original air dates of the episodes.
Anybody planning on reliving the magic?
I think I plan to start with Pilot Serenity, immediately followed by TTJ to kick off.
Then try to hold off a week for BW.
Likely rearrange episodes to correct order, and insert episodes in place of baseball and such.
The final Pilot I'll likely watch again on 20 Dec, then the remaining episodes a week apart, then BDM again.
But I'm not certain. Filling in the missing weeks, rearranging to correct order, the yearning and confusion wont be the same. The frustration.
Not certain that waiting a week between will work for me.
But watching the deleted scenes right away will be a bonus compared to 2002.
Anyhow, anybody else going to honor the enduring appeal of the show? Having viewing parties? Inviting over a new, younger generation to discover the magic? I really think that much of it will uphold the standard, it's not really dated, except the ADHD component of today's entertainment.

i don't know enough about jos's preferred working methods - was buffy always filmed in airing order? i doubt it - but maybe it was.
BSG is filmed in sequence.
Dr Who still is not and never was.
Do you yourself have an order preference?
i think Objects ends the show on a lovely note - but The Message does too -
and HOG pre-figues Those Left Behind - and thus the BDM - very directly.
I felt that the order tbat the ideas were conferenced, conceived, hashed out, then scripted, and then, finally, shot on a schedule which allowed for them to be aired on a date, in order, would be the most valid sequence, to embrace the creativity, continuity, story arc which was originally intended by the creators.
Therefore, the script dates and filming dates are the best reference that we have of what was indended for us to see and experience. Not some rearranged gobbledegook which followed cancellation.

I'm going to dig up my old VCR and watch the VHS tapes I made from the original broadcast, commercials and all.
Won't do the true "FOX Experience" and watch baseball or random movies in between episodes, but it will be in broadcast order with the 3 unaireds last.

I think I will forego the Pilot, and watch The Train Job tomorrow. Try to duplicate the aired sequence, for a bit.
