Hey browncoats, i know that last message and heart of gold was never aired. but for arguments sake, what episode was supposed to be the last episode? i first thought it was last message, but i'm starting to think it was hearts of gold, since inara is talking about leaving at the end.
also, in the beginning of the last message, crew and mal are talking about how difficult it is to unload the lassiter/laser gun, which alludes to previous episode of trash. i know episodes weren't chronologically aired, but to make sense of story line, i can't imagine hearts of gold being before trash. and the mood of the episode in last message does not jibe with the ending of hearts of gold. also, this website is hard to get on sometimes. too many browncoats..

The Message was the last episode filmed but Objects in Space is the final episode. Trash imdeiately preceeds The Message and Heart of Gold goes right before Objects in Space.

That does make sense. Now, i'm gonna have to watch objects in space again. not one of my favorite episodes, but i may have to revisit that issue. it would have been neat to see nischka and early in future episodes. i'm hopeful.

If you're a purist like me, you'll have to watch them in their 'Verse-chronological order, with The Message last. In 'Verse time, it takes place after OiS (hence the "mind reading genius who can't eat an ice planet" remark). Plus, I think The Message has more punch as a last episode.

now you gone and done it. i forgot about that comment jayne makes in the last message. so does that mean hearts of gold takes place much earlier, even before trash? i guess i'm taking inara's comments/behavior pretty seriously about her leaving. i can't wait for the new serenity dvd coming out with some more commentary. boy, wouldn't it be great if this is some grand presentation to tell everyone that firefly series is going to be continued on another cable channel, SciFi, G1, Spike, or even the hallmark channel....

As far as I know (and I hope other, more knowledgeable Firefly fans are about) the rest of the episodes are in 'Verse-chronological order (other than OiS and The Message, obviously).

Hmmm...how to ask...

Just curious about your calling it "Last Message" or "The Last Message." On my set, it's "The Message." Perhaps you're one of our international Browncoats? I know that the episode titles come out slightly differently when translated out of--and then back into--English.

IMO Heart of Gold is the last episode.

I really don't get how OiS could have ever been intended to be last. Unless Fox really really really messed with things. I mean they even changed the episode for the dvds to put in the part about Inara leaving instead of the way that conversation went when the episode aired.

Besides when I got my hands on the unaired episodes they were listed in order of trash, the message then heart of gold.

Though I accept the order of the dvds because it doesn't really change much either way.

ooops, my bad. just a lapsis de lingua.
it is the message. maybe that's just how i remember that episode.
also, query: only mal and zoe are browncoats. the rest are not. why do firefly fans call themselves browncoats?

now im' rethinking the whole order of events.
by the time serenity movie takes place, its 6 months after the last episode. which i really imagined was heart of gold. but i do get the issue re: mind reader comment that jayne makes in the message. its hard to wrap the mind around small inconsistencies with chronological order.also, what does verse mean? universe or the poetic semblance of spoken language?

money was too good

Do any of you have the Box Set of DVDs? Joss has them arranged in the order that HE says is the proper chronological order, with OiS Last. It does make sense, because River overhears Mal and Inara's conversation about her leaving, and hears Inara ask if Mal has "told anyone yet". Yes, Jayne made the "Mind readin' genius" crack in The Message, but in OiS he says, "Do you mean she Really reads minds?", and acts surprised.
