What is your favorite Episode of Firefly and Why? I think OUT OF GAS is definately my favorite. I just love the way it was written and filmed, how its kind of tells the story inside out and backwards, and i just feel so fulfilled every time i get to the end and it shows the look on Mal's face when he first sees Serenity and you can just see the instant love he has for that wonderful wonderful ship.

...sigh

Well isn't that...special

I would have to say that my favorite episode was Objects in Space. I like that one the most because Early was such an intereting character that brings out differnt things from the characters.

If nothing that we do matters the nthe only thing that matters is what we do.

Lord, this is like trying to pick a favorite child (not that I have children, but I've heard that's tough).

Ummmm, I guess Out of Gas, because I liked all the flashbacks, and I loved the birthday party scene at the beginning. Though when the series first aired it was probably Our Mrs. Reynolds, which has my all time favorite Firefly line, about going to hell for talking in the theatre. My roommate thought I she was going to have to call 911 I was laughing so hard.

Well, I've said it before, but I don't mind saying it again in a new thread.

Serenity, the pilot, is my favourite. There is just so much to it. Ariel is a close second with all of the action and the development of Jayne from a total @$$ to less of an @$$.

Picking which child you like best is a good analogy!

It's a close call between Out of Gas and Serenity, but OoG wins out. I think if they had left the deleted scenes in Serenity it would win out, but such is life.

OoG is such a good episode because it lets us see that side of Mal that refuses to quite, the side of him that wants to survive. We see how much Serenity and the crew mean to him and what he will do to insure their safety.

"May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."

My favorite episode is War Stories. It's got action, drama, and comedy, although most Firefly episodes do. But in War Stories the crew gets to show how loyal they are to their Captain. Mostly it's Mal that won't leave a man behind, but this time the crew gets to return the favor. The best part of it is when Mal is beating up Niska and he says "You want to me the real me?". We've seen Mal angry before, but nothing like he is in War Stories. I want to find out who the real Malcolm Reynolds is.

Wow. Tough call.

Objects in Space was amazing, so was Out of Gas.

Shindig might have been in the running (for me), but that whole duel was just too ... unlikely. Mal had to win, but the guy was a cold-blooded killer, and the ending was contrived. The crew has always outwitted their opponents in the other episodes, but not in that one. If Shindig had more Kaylee and less swordplay, it had a shot at #1.

I love YoSaffBridge; she brings so much energy to an episode. The plotlines in her episodes just weren't epic enough, though.

I'd have to go with Objects in Space as my first choice, with an honorable mention to The Message.

My favorite episode would have to be "Serenity" (the two hour pilot) with "Out of Gas" and "Our Mrs. Reynolds" coming in 2nd and 3rd respectively.

... how do you choose ONE or even TWO favorites? That's like asking, "What's your favorite finger?"--how do you choose something like that??

That being said, I'm kinda partial to Out of Gas, also... althoug, I must say, the ending of The Message was absolutely amazing... not that the rest of the episode wasn't great, too, but that end scene is really powerful.
