They are all very good and the more you watch them all the more you realise how little snippets of dialogue relate to the series as a whole, making the show even better!!! However for pure TV pleasure I must say :
OBJECTS IN SPACE is perhaps my favourite. It played so well on the mystery of River and introduced one of the best characters; 'Jubal Early'

The
Somnambulist

Repeating what's already been said, this is gorram hard. Now if you asked for my top ten, well, that'd be a little bit easier...

If you put a gun to my head, I'd have to go with Objects In Space.

Now if we use laws os physics to entertain the notion that more than one object can exist in the same space, my favourite changes to:
SerenityArielOutOfGasJaynestownObjectsInSpaceOurMrsReynolds.

For me, it's Out Of Gas, hands down.
It's so seamlessly put together, and has too many great moments to even begin to list them.

I'd say Serenity. It just has so much in it. But then I'd have to say Objects in Space, because it was so artfully done, because I love River so much, and because Jubel Early was a damn interesting character.

i can't beleive it!!! only one person put "OUT OF GAS" on their list (way to go ANNIE). Come on!!! "Out of Gas" is the first episode where you really see how the crew of serenity is becoming a family and where they start to realize it as well.

AND I QUOTE:

Mal: "you all will be here when I wake up?"
(everyone nods)
Mal: "good"
---snore---

not to mention the flashback scenes that tell us the beginnings of the crew. (ha ha: wash had a mustache!!!) you see how the whole crew came together and you see how Kaylee joined the crew ("sorry captain...She's hot for engines") it's just such an awesome episode!!! there are just soo many of the great firefly moments we travelers crave for on this episode!!! Not to mention a big battle wound for Mal!!!

so here's my list of favs with the first one being the best:
1) "OUT OF GAS" (If you don't know why yet, you ain't been payin' no attention)
2) "OUR MRS.REYNOLDS" (does this really need an explanation -- it's just plain awesome!!!)
3) "OBJECTS IN SPACE" (you get to see River's perspective on things which is gorram interestin')




This is a good land. And we shall call it .... this land.

(grrrrrrr---arggghhh)

I've got to go with "Out of Gas." The flashbacks are beautiful and the ending just makes me smile.
I have to agree with The Somnambulist, though, that in "Objects in Space" we have the most interesting of secondary characters: Jubal Early.

I know I have done this before on another thread. I always differentiate between favorite and best. Great films can have enormous impact but not be much fun. Favorite films are the ones you want to watch over and over, because you love them.

So it is hard to argue that Out of Gas, Serenity and Objects are not the best.

But the question here is favorite - I love War Stories, Our Mrs Reynolds, Serenity and Jaynestown in that order.



See how I'm not punching him, I think I've grown!

Out of Gas - without a doubt.

What's not to love? I love the way the past present and future all exist in one episode, distinguished by a different colour tone. Kaylee's introduction to the crew is wonderful. The moment in which Inara tells Mal that he doesnt't have to die alone to which he replies "Everybody dies alone" is so moving. Mal bleeding to death alone on the ship - that in itself is a interesting story, but the fact that we get to see how the crew came together is a shiny bonus

Nothing can beat this

Oh and Nathan Fillion happens to agree with me on this one.
Morena Baccarin's favourite is Heart of Gold

I'd just thought I'd mention it since they answered the question at the Birmingham screening Q&A
