Or, if you're a maths nerd (as I partially am - at least at the moment mid maths homework), you could try watching them in a Fibonacci sequence...

First, use the DVD order, then watch the following episodes:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,
0 is tricky but the rest are achievable. Just a thought.

I reckon the order they're in on the DVD is just fine with me.

The way I've shown 'em to new converts is:

Serenity
The Train Job
Bushwhacked
Shindig
Safe
Our Mrs. Reynolds
Jaynestown
Out of Gas
Ariel
War Stories
Heart of Gold
Objects in Space
Trash
The Message

And I don't care what Mr. Tim high-falutin' Minear says about the order, Jayne's comment in "The Message" about River being a mind-reading genius makes no sense if that ep is before "Objects in Space". Additionally, Jayne taking River's threat seriously of "I can kill you with my brain" in "Trash", and the fact that (despite her knowing that he'd sold them out on Ariel) she looked surprised at that insight to him in "Objects in Space".

"Sir, I would like to gingerly point out that it is difficult for someone to be gently reassuring when they're holding three and a half feet of sharpened steel."

I agree completely with your order, and that is the order in which they're listed in the Episode Guide on this site's Home page.

However, I didn't drop in here to take up bandwidth, & your time, with a "me too", but to say that the best answer to this question appears in a previous thread, which I can't seem to find now. Anyway to summarize it (I hope accurately), DVD order is great for the first ten eps, Trash comes before the Message (just before is best), & Heart o' Gold comes just before Objects In Space. There are problems with DVD order, & problems with the reverse (HoG & Objects In Space before T & Message), but the problems with the latter (hereinafter Fff.n order) are fewer, and appear less troubling to (me &) the author of the post than DVD order.

I learned something from the Virtual Shindigs (Sundays @7pm Greenwich time) http://www.fireflyfans.net/editmsg.asp?b=2&t=8767&m=117511 . To summarize, if I'm watching with commentaries, I'm gonna do it in DVD order.

I just watched some of the episodes in "TV" order, and then I went back and watched "Serenity", and everything started to become clear. I have no idea why Fox would show "Serenity" last. It was building the premise of the entire season!

So I highly recommend staying loyal with the DVD order. Just my 2c.
