out of gas is a brillant episode its actually my favorite beacuse it shows everyones backstory makeing the show more indepth my fav scene is mal and zoe on serenity "ship like this be with ya to the day ya die" "thats beacuse its a death trap sir" "i a you you are lacking very much in imageination cleaner up get her running" "so not running now" "not so much" "whats that" "o that dont worry ill a" "no that" "o something musta been liveing in here" XD i love that scene anyway it also hold the most importent scene in all of firefly mal ignoreing the merchant and stareing at another ship soon to be his home (serenity) this episode also shows mals ambition from when he gets shot and still gets them off the ship fixes it and also when he orders evreyone off the ship while he him self stays on it do you agree that out of gas might just be the most contrivertial episode in firefly? discuss

I agree with you that Out of Gas is an amazing episode. You're right that some of the scenes in that one are important, and they help to understand Mal's character, like that he cares so much about his crew. So much, in fact that he would risk dying in space to keep them from seeing the same fate. And then there's also the way they all come back at the end to that shows their devotion, particularly Zoe's. That's probably one of my favorites too!

Welcome to the site by the way!

I love this episode too. Apart from getting to know more of the back story of the crew I find it so poignant that so much emotion is conveyed by just a look or a word. The look on Jayne’s and Kaylee’s faces when Mal says he’s staying with Serenity. Inara looking down at Mal before finally going in to the shuttle. Wash realising there’s no point in saying anything more when he leaves Mal on the bridge. There’s no long speeches or over dramatic emotion and that makes the episode so much more intense.
The interaction between Mal and Inara is also compelling and I find the bit where Mal says, ‘Everybody dies alone’, so sad. Part of the background of Mal’s character is that he’s lost his faith and that shows it so well. If he was still a Christian he would believe that God was with him when he died and so dying alone is part of his new belief.
Finally there’s the scene between Book and River which I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of. When she tells him that they’re not going to ‘die gasping, that’s not going to happen,’ and there’s just the slightest gleam of hope in his eye before she says, ‘we’ll freeze to death first’. I think that’s an amazing scene.

It's even more amazing when you realize that River's almost certainly wrong about that, and almost certainly knows it. In other words, she was deliberately winding him up.

Yes our River has got a mischievous sense of humour hasn't she

I like it when she tells Simon that the berries are poisonous too.

IMHO...OOG is the embodiment of what Firefly is and means. We're together and we're on this journey....where ever it takes us, we're a family.

Okay sparda, here you go: "You're an idiot!"

Feel better now?

Seriously, though... punctuation is your friend. Your posts would be a lot easier to read if you tried to sentence properly. Just sayin'.
