I must say... it was the one were Fox canceled the show.. wait was that a real episode.. or jsut one in my head?

No seriously i think I gotta go with HoG even though it was the first one that really made me sad (with Inara crying and all)

Safe is my least favorite. It has its moments (as do all the eps) but the whole fundamentalist kidnappers thing annoys me.

I am not fond of Train Job either because as a substitute pilot it turned me off to the series and I didn't watch Firefly anymore until it came out on DVD (if only FOX had shown the pilot first).

As for Mal sleeping with Nandi in HoG, I am sorry just cause you love someone doesn't mean you don't move on with your life. Inara is married to her work, Mal and her will never be together and happy as long as she remains a companion. I think Inara's hypocrisy is telling. If its 'just sex,' she wouldn't have gotten upset.

Train Job is the worst...followed with Serenity (the movie). It's still way better than what's currently on TV..or in the theatres.

Heart of Gold was the only one that deeply disappointed me. When I show Firefly to new converts, to save time I usually skip that one and tell them "All you need to know about this episode is that Inara decides to leave because of her feelings for Mal."

I've seen HoG before, same plot and everything, in half a dozen bad westerns (not a big fan of westerns here), the only difference being the whorehouse is covered in tinfoil (explain to me again how that makes good solar sheeting??). There's nothing about the basic make-up of the episode that makes it uniquely Firefly, the crew's just been stuck in there because the cowboy was held up in traffic and couldn't make it.

Granted, there are still plenty of Firefly moments in there:
-Zoe and Wash arguing about having children
-River: "me too" and "I wonder who's in there"
-Inara breaking down. (Is it sadistic of me to enjoy that?)
-Mal feeling neither dirty nor girlish
That's because Firefly is a great show, and even its weakest episode has bits you have to adore.

The Message also had its weaknesses, but its basic concept was Firefly, not dinky western with Firefly superimposed, so it comes in a distant second place to HoG in the mediocrimeter.

You know, I'd have to go with Shindig. I just didn't really buy the art direction in that episode, the dancing and costumes all seemed really phony, as compared to other episodes where I feel like they really achieve an authentic, lived in aesthetic feel.

"Bushwacked" was not as good as the rest, the plot seemed too small for a series so great!

I always thought of Bushwacked as an episode of two halves. I really enjoyed the first half, while the second half, in spite of some amusing moments during the interrogation scene, is quite dull and boring in comparison.

I'm surprised at the bashing Heart Of Gold is getting on here. I don't think it's that great, but I wouldn't have thought that so many people would be unhappy with it. Huh.

I don't know if I have a least fave . . . but if I had to pick one I'd say Train Job. It definitely had its moments, but it just wasn't as compelling as the other episodes. Not to me, anyway.

The Message was my least favourite episode but I'd watch again and again for Jayne and his hat!

She understands. She doesn't comprehend.
