Bushwacked, for me.

It brings out my least favourite aspects of the show: namely the styling and design of the Alliance elements - without going into too much detail, an example being the Trek-style technique of having the captain of a huge ship being the one who leads 'away' style missions (in this case two trips onto Serenity) - ever heard of delegation?

Plus - the Reaver technology seemed out of line with everything else we've so far seen - the snaking pipes attaching to Serenity, the organic-looking wiring that Kaylee's playing with - I can happily believe that Reaver tech is fundementally different from what we're used to - what I have problems with is that no-one commented on that, rather they treated it as if it were perfectly normal.

I was hoping the Reaver stuff would be addressed later - probably it would have been

Still *liked* the episode. I just don't love it like the others.

Everybody's down on Shindig! I'd have to go with Train Job as least favorite. So much of it seemed forced; explanations, some overly broad characterizations and the mysterious disappearance of Jayne's facial hair(I'd already seen Serenity so this really bothered me.)

I rewatched OMR this Saturday. Although I still don't like Saffron. It is a hilarious episode.

I had only seen it once. I recommend a second viewing of your least favorite episode. Firefly is chalk full of hi-larious scenes, dialogue.

I love them all though.

Keep Flying,

I do think its a little funny that we're listing our least favorite episodes considering even the worst Firefly is better than 99% of the rest of the shows that are being offered. And I say this with complete objectivity of course.

I have to agree w/ most and say Train Job. It seemed that I was playing catch up the whole episode, what with the brief explanations and all since FOX pushed it to be the replacement pilot.

There is not one that I don't like but, if I had to choose, The Train Job. Someone said it seemed "forced". I agree. This question was harder to answer than I thought!

The Train Job by default. Serenity was an awesome pilot and from The Train Job onward the show just got better and better.

And for the record I thought Objects In Space was absolutely brilliant. How can people not see how good this episode is? The quality of the directing, photography and music are way above the average episode and Summer Glau shows just why she is the best actor on the show.

Sorry, just went off topic. The Train Job seems to be all over the place lacking the strong story that all the other episodes have. Also all the other episodes seem to focus on one or two character where as The Train Job seems to give us bits and peaces of characters.

Safe - I still liked it. But if I had to be really really picky, here's reasons why I'd go with this episode:

- too much mandarin made things a bit confusing at the beginning
- thought the green automobile was cheesy
- didn't like the choice of actors/actresses for the Tam's parents, the town leader, the sheriff & the nurse
- the setting didn't look too appealing
- didn't like Mal's speech near the end where he & Zoe entered the town. His high-pitched shouting voice just didn't seem right.

Cheers!
