I think out of gas is my overall favourite, I'm a sucker for flashbacks and it has them aplenty, its also got love and family and conflict and danger (even the hundreth time I watch it.)

jaynestown is my favourite for comedy and general jayneness, how can that be a bad thing?

and objects in space is infinately watchable, largely for early; and every single time I almost believe that river has become serenity.
"they didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave, so she melted"- breaks my heart...

but that said, even the least good episodes are a hell of a lot better than anything else on tv.

I've also been thinking lately about which is the most balanced episode and I think maybe its the message. despite what others have said I don't see plot holes, rather I see the characters at their best and all the elements which make the series great included- comedy, tradgedy and real emotion...

Oh, crap! Not another critical decision. I hate being put on the spot like this. Hmmmmm. It's so hard to choose because they're all so good. Each has it's special moments and memorable lines.
Enough procrastination, here goes:
Serenity
Our Mrs. Reynolds Jaynestown tie for second.
Out of Gas War Stories tie for third (Hey! Cut me some slack here!)
Ariel
Objects in Space
The Message
Trash
The Train Job
Bushwacked
Safe

My favorite episodes fall in this order:

Serenity
Out of Gas
Safe
Ariel
The message
Jaynestown
War Stories

Though, I have to admit, even if I don't like the character Jayne, Jaynestown was the funniest of all the episodes.

I love the scene where they 1st came upon the statue of Jayne...that was great, and Simon had a look on his face that suggested that there was something very wrong in the universe

And I love Mal's comment about the statue staring at him like he owed it something.

The funniest scene ever was when they were drinking in that bar and some old guy on the stage started playing some folk song about Jayne.

The whole crew sat there looking dumbstruck.
Simon, by now really had a look like everything he had ever been told about the universe was so completly wrong, and the LOOK on Kelley and Wash's face was priceless, especially when the crowd joined in singing the song, the camera quickly switched to Wash's face and he looked astounded; it was great! I nearly strangled on a bowl of cereal laughing; I thought I was gonna die!

...and he robbed from the rich and he gives to the poor, the hero of Katon, the man they call Jayne!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyhow, I felt sorry for Jayne later....it was the first time in the whole series that I had some compassion for the guy, he was bothered by that kid taking that shotgun round for him. I guess he has feelings after all.

To me, the Serenity pilot is kind of like Serenity the movie. It's not really a show, it's a great movie on its own.

Serenity (the pilot) and Objects in Space compete for my affections.

I'd say Serenity was the best Firefly episode ever, and Objects in Space was the best episode ever. Serenity has the best plot, the Firefly moments that made me fall in love with it, and it's just...just so very shiny, gorramit!

Objects in Space was the most beautifully shot. It showed so much of casual life on Serenity, which is nice. Early is genius writing. River's point of view is excellent. Book becomes even more intriguing. And the end shot...*swoon*

They correspond to my two favourite characters. Serenity is Mal's episode, Mal's story. It introduces you to Mal's life, Mal's crew, Mal's ship, and Mal's ship's stowaways. Objects in Space is River of course, and like her, it has an unusual structure with many secrets.

All the rest (minus HoG) come in third. That's how awesome Firefly is.

Early: Where'd she go?

Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's NOT incorporeally possessing a spaceship, don't look at me --

hard to say because I love them all very much, but I would think I would have to say that Jaynestown is my favorite. The song is great and everything else that happens is just too funny. Though War Stories is a close second.
