Hey! Newbie here. I've managed to download The Train Job and Bushwhacked, and am absolutely falling in love with this show! But Im having problems getting any of the other episodes and Im also slightly confused about the ordering of the episodes.

I'd like to watch the rest of the episodes, but cos Im in the UK and don't get the Sci-Fi channel, I cant :( if someone could either send me the episodes on VHS/VCD I'll happily pay them for their troubles. Or otherwise let me know what would be best criteria to search for on kazaa.

Thank you for any help.

How have you determined that this is the order? It is different (in the middle episodes) from the way they were aired. I am curious because I have them all and am trying to get other people interested in the Firefly story. I would like to have the episodes numbered correctly. Thanks!!!

The Fox site, which shows the airing order, puts
Our Mrs. Reynolds
Jaynestown
Out of Gas

. . . just after Bushwhacked.

whereas the order posted by christhecynic is production order, and, I think, the perferred order. Certainly, you'd want to see Serenity first, cuz, dang it, that's the pilot -- despite Fox's insistence on shoving Train Job onto us ignorant hordes.

The order presented by christhecynic is correct as the timeline goes.

Yes, fox aired them out of order, we all know that ;)

I haven't seen a sure confirmation one way or the other about the last 3(heart of gold, trash, message), but I think thats right. I'd have to see the other two eps before I can be sure.(unless someone was a confirmation)

Thank you all for your help!

Kazaa was beggining to irritate me, at least I now have an alternative downloading source. :)

Also thanks for clearing up the episode order, that was confusing me muchly.

How did I determine it? Well I looked at the episode number on the script, and looked at the other numbers. The order presented is that of the episode numbers, which some call production numbers because they think that the episode numbers are the order in which they are first aired. The script distinctly says “Episode #” So I take it as meaning episode number, these numbers look like 1AGE10, which is the one for Heart of Gold.

We have all of the ones for the aired episodes, and you can find the rest in various places (the number for The Message, 1AGE13, you can get right here on this site). Also this is the order they will be aired in the UK, and that has been said to be the right order.

That’s how I got that order. Others have come up with the same other ways.

I'm confused about the episode order. I've been watching Firefly in the UK on the SciFi channel, but the order they're showing them in isn't the same as the order given on this site. They are supposed to be showing them in the proper order, but it's a bit different. I think the first few episodes were shown in the same order (I missed Serenity, first one I saw was The Train Job), but recently they're different. The showing order after Ariel has been...
War Stories
Trash
The Message
Heart of Gold
and I've yet to see Objects in Space. What order should they be in? I'm confused now. I've missed a few along the way, but Objects In Space is the only one I'm sure hasn't been aired here. Is that supposed to be the season finale? Because that's how they're being shown over here.

Well... we don't know for sure, but here are a few threads that might help you out.

There are a few possible orders that fans have put together-- the order that the FF episodes where aired in the US, the order that they aired in the UK, an order that the director said they were supposed to be in, and a few orders that overall make the most sense. Currently, I believe most of us are waiting for the DVD’s before we can really be sure of the proper order.
