Every episode is excellent TV, but have to agree with Out of Gas. It showed me what Mal was willing to do for his crew and ship and tied the characters all together for me.

It's a toss up between "Safe" and "Heart of Gold" for me. Now I realize that I can't possibly choose one 'cause they were all amazing!

The seamless changes from flashbacks to present kept me glued to the chair wanting to see what was gonna happen next and just what the gorram hell had already happened!

Ill second that: for me it might be the best 45 minutes in television history. first post by the way :)

Welcome; I just joined like a week ago, so I'm still getting the lay of the land myself.

I have to say, I can't believe only one person's nominated Ariel so far. I think that's the one I'll have to go with... I think... man, is it ever an arduous choice; I love Objects in Space, Serenity 1&2, and Out of Gas too. But Ariel is the one that left me with the most reasons to leave my jaw on the floor.

Firstly, the action and plot is entirely character-driven; how rare and awesome is that? Inara brings them to Ariel, the initial robbery is Simon's idea, and the crisis, of course, is all thanks to Jayne.

Which brings me to the second reason: Jayne's betrayal. Candidate for the most shocking moment in the show, despite the fact that it is still COMPLETELY in character. It's just that you never think he'll actually betray them, because protagonists don't do that on television! Awesome decision to go against the cliché of the reformed mercenary, by showing that he isn't (reformed, that is... he's definitely mercenary). That line "I've got your fugitives" just floored me the first time I saw it.

Lastly... two by two. Ariel had the most nail-biting climax of any of the episodes, in my opinion, thanks to the coolest and creepiest bad guys since... well, since the suspiciously similar Gentlemen on Buffy. Joss likes calm quiet killers in business suits; go figure. But man, are they awesome.

Plus, the episode is just overall fantastic, with a great heist, our first look at a core planet, and the powerful confrontation between Jayne and Mal. Simply superb.

fav firefly episode has to be and is funny everytime you watch!! "trash" its just so shiny and god damn good!!! its Wash that makes the epi just that little bit more, but then i love all firefly and choosing hurts!!!
Wash: I'm confused...
Saffron: You're asking yourself if I've got the security codes, why don't I just go in and grab it for myself -- why cut you in?
Wash: No. Actually... I was wondering... What's she doing on the ship!? Didn't she try to kill us?

Mal: She hitched.
Wash: I don't recall pulling over...

Yeah, it's not easy making this choice, but I'll have to go with Out of Gas, it is so beautifully done, and each character have their moments...

Runner's up; Objects in Space and Serenity.

Does the movie count as like an episode? If so, then it's Serenity.
If you can't pick the movie, I guess I'll have to go with Ariel...

Tough choice Chrisisall

Objects in Space...definately. Really Sad that they killed of the Shepherd in Serenity, I need to know what Early meant by "That's No Shepherd"

"Why didn't you turn on me?" - Mal
"Money wasn't good enough." - Jayne
"What happens when it is?" - Mal
"Well now, that'll be an interestin' day, now won't it?" - Jayne
