i don't have a least favortie episode i mean some are better than others, but they are all great. if i have to say anything negative i would have to say that i found wash and zoe's marriage a bit unnatural not because of the racial issue because i would love to see mal and zoe get it on, but just no chemistry there for me. not the kind of man i see zoe with

Heart of Gold.
The thinly veiled "Women have more right to children than men" social programming was insulting.
The story didn't make sense. If the man had a barren wife and wanted a child, wouldn't he have just paid the whore to have the child? Naddie said the girl slept with many clients. So we're supposed to buy that these whores just have sex until they get pregnant and then have the baby and raise them in the whorehouse while they return to whoring? Why weren't there more kids? Was this girl special in that she didn't use birth control? None of the other girls had babies. The whole thing seemed like she was a surrogate mother who backed out on the deal, not someone who was treated badly.
The only good parts were Jayne and his woman and Inara finally stepping into the trap she'd laid for herself regarding Mal.

Shindig, Jaynestown and War Stories are probably my three favorites.
My least favorites are prolly The Message, Bushwhacked or the Heart of Gold. I dunno exactly why, nothing i can put my finger on, just ones i enjoyed least than others.
no... thats not true.
When I'm watching them I enjoy them just as much, they are the ones that for some reason, when I'm selecting which episode to watch, I wonder if I should skip.
thats wierd.
lol.

Hard to pick a "least", but if I had to, it would probably be Shindig.
I guess, for me, it was just the "hokey" nature of Inara interfering with the fight, yet no one crying foul when Mal took the advantage to win.
Though, it was probably the fact that I knew it was coming all along.
In actuality, I was hoping that the night before the duel, Inara was going to show Mal some ancient swordplay trick, with a defense that was unlikely to be in Wing's repertoire and that Mal, though ungainly and otherwise supremely over-matched, would suddenly surprise Wing with, having practiced it singularly all night.
To me, it would have been more interesting than the "sudden" and "unexpected" (yeah right) bid by Inara to save Mal's ass and Wing's undisciplined, "Oh really? Let me stare at you for five minutes not realizing that I'm about to be beaten," response.
The only thing that saved the exchange for me, was Mal's treatment of Wing at the last. Funny that.
Having torn it to shreds, let me say that while my "least favorite" episode, it yet contains the saving grace of my favorite River moment when she confronts Badger. Priceless.
Which just goes to show what happens when you try to pick your "least favorite" million dollar diamond.

My least favourites would by Jaynestown - I don't know what it is, but I just don't see Jayne the way everyone else does - and The Train Job, but only because it felt so rushed.

I gotta say Heart of Gold for one very simple reason: The love scene with Mal and Nandi; it just always felt tacked-on and unnecessary, plus IMHO it didn't fit with the rest of the series the scene with Inara and the unnamed guy was necessary because it established her profession; but this one wasn't and it didn't serve to establish anything that couldn't have been by just leaving the sex implied.
woo, I finnaly got my one and only Firefly rant out, YAY ME! (runs and hides from thw women who loved that scene and are after his blood)
Why is the rum always gone?

Actually for me it was Heart of Gold too. I agree with Guy that that scene really wasn't neccesary...
Also, the story wasn't as good as the rest, the "bad guy" person seemed too shallow and one-sided, which wasn't like most of the other villains.

Love keeps her in the air when she outta fall down, tells you she's hurting before she keels. Makes her a home.

Our Mrs. Reynolds is actually one of my favorites because it's so interesting ti see the crew get played. I always feel uncomfortable with what Jayne did on Ariel, and I have to agree about The Message. The ship chase scene was pretty cool, though. Heart of Gold was a bit sappy, and I had always liked Firefly because they never overdid the love stories. Out of Gas was not so much bad, as hard for me to watch because it was tough seeing that proud ship and its proud crew stranded like that.
