Which disc holds your favourite episodes? Which do you find yourself putting in the most?

Here's the handy chart:

Disc 1 - Serenity 1 & 2 (with commentary), The Train Job (with commentary), Bushwhacked
Disc 2 - Shindig (with commentary), Safe, Our Mrs. Reynolds, Jaynestown
Disc 3 - Out of Gas (with commentary), Ariel, War Stories (with commentary), Trash
Disc 4 - The Message (with commentary), Heart of Gold, Objects in Space (with commentary), all the extras

My ratings:

Disc 3 (I consider "Out of Gas" the best of the best, and Disc 3 the only one without a sub-par episode on it.)
Disc 4
Disc 2
Disc 1

Oh, and the first ten posters to maintain that they adore each DVD equally and can't be forced to choose win a one-way trip to the Special Hell.

Since disc #3 has my two favorite episodes, Ariel and Out of Gas (in that order), disc 3 is the best!

I have a feeling there will be many to join me in that Special Hell.

So far, I have only watched the episodes in order every time, do not skip around with the discs. At least not yet, and I am on my eighth viewing of the series at this time, with Heart of Gold up for viewing this evening, and more than likely Objects in Space as well if I have the time. Then I'll probably take a break for a bit since disc 1 is out on loan.

Yes, disc 3 probably has the strongest lineup of eps, although OIS is my favorite by a slight margin. But most of the time it is a lot like trying to determine which is my favorite Heinlein book or my favorite Phil Ochs song, usually think it is the one I'm re-reading or listening to at the time.

Disc 3 is also my most watched, because it has Out Of Gas and War Stories.
Then it would be disc 1 (Serenity), disc 4 (Objects In Space), and disc 2 (Jaynestown).

Definitely Disc 3. OoG is my favorite episode. Of my converts, two of them like OoG the best too.

Its all pretty close for me but it will be interesting to see if anyone choses a different disc to number 3 as their favorite.

I had been thinking about posting this same question!

For me, it's disk 3 as well. I loved Out of Gas, Ariel, and War Stories. That's what made this show so amazing, after I watched another ep, I thought: "Ok, that has to be the best one.", and then I'd watch another and change my mind! It started with Out of Gas, but then the more I watched War Stories, I thought it was best. But now, I'm convinced The Message is best. And Objects in Space was better than I remember on TV. 3, 2, 4, 1

So, besides the best DVD what's everyone's favorite single episode?

#1 - Disc 3
#2 - Three way tie between the rest.

(I'm going to be the democratic response here, as several people have placed Disc 2 as their least favorite)

My order:

Disc 2
Disc 3
Disc 4
Disc 1

Reasoning: primarily, Shindig, Jaynestown, and Our Mrs. Reynolds were the episodes that stuck in my head long after the series went off the air, before the DVD's arrived. To me, this means they spoke to me in a way that other episodes did not, probably just the writing.

I will admit, however, that Out of Gas is probably my single favorite episode.
