Out of Gas for the character exposition
Our Mrs Reynolds for the best one liners
then when I've got them hooked I throw in War Stories coz it's my favourite, and I love the commentaries...Why don't Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion have their own comedy show? they kill me they're so funny.

The first episode I saw was "Ariel", which got me intrigued due to the whole Simon's offering a job to the crew. . . that, and the blue-handed dudes and the ebola-inducing gas. . .
I think it's better to begin with something that will grab right away, and I did well with "Ariel." I asked questions and wanted them answered; hence, I got my hands on the first couple of discs. But I do agree that "Out of Gas" is a good starter. "Serenity" is great, but the length might hinder the average person, especially if he/she is skeptical.
Just a thought.

*Sigh*
I read this thread hoping to get ideas on how to convert our 19 year-old housemate, A.
He caught the tail end of me watching an episode (It was my birthday and I was treating myself to a dose of Mal :)). He asked what it was and my stepson, M., (same age as the housemate) rolls his eyes and says "You haven't seen her watching this show, she only watches it ALL the time!" :P
A has never seen Firefly (the series) but he is familiar with Serenity. The movie was not enough to hook him, so which episode should I show?
I was debating between the pilot and Out of Gas and came here for an opinion. Still seems to be split between the two...

I'd go with Jaynestown. No way anyone could not like that episode.

If he likes a good laugh, I'd say Jaynestown. But as I said before, Ariel's a good hook.

The Pilot should be the way to go. If KayLee shot or shooting Dobson doesn't get them, they might be hopeless. Others are engrossing, but either too far out of sequence or needing too much background. WE are all looking from the perspective of already being hooked. After the BDM, I first saw the end of Ariel, and was hooked - but the whole setup at the beginning might throw off the uninitiated.
Out of Gas is probably my fave episode, but doesn't have as much impact if you're not already familiar with the characters - like everything that is said between Inara and Mal.

actually, Joss wanted the train job to be the pilot but the producers wouldn't let him. they said it didn't have enough content to make a pilot.

I agree. Gives some background also.....
Actually Joss wanted to introduce The Train Job as the pilot but evil producers wouldn't let him. They said it didn't have enough content to be a good pilot.

??? Where do you get that from?
I thought the network declined the pilot and Joss and Tim had to create the entirety of Train Job over a weekend.
