No argument there. I was just trying to point out that there are could be a number of reasons for his attitude on this particular issue.

Out of Gas was so good, I watched it again immediately after it was over. Wow. The way the flashbacks were interwoven with the present-time was so beautifully done, I hardly realized that there were two sets of flashbacks going on. That's damn hard to pull off. Kudos to Tim Minear.
I have to agree! I've been watching this show since it started, and this is the epi that brought me out of hiding to post here! :D
This is my favorite one yet! After watching that one, I know it'll only get better from here!

Sorry, but it isn't. The real pilot will be shown to non Internet people in December.

Who else here thought that the musical score behind the episode was really engaging and very influencial to the episode's storyline? I enjoyed it so much.

The music was wonderful. It was the first thing that struck me. Sometimes there's no music at all, sometimes it's there, but it's extremely good, as are the color differences. The main storyline in normal color, Mal's solo scenes in blue light, the flashbacks in sort of a greeny yellow. Great work by everyone.
The effects were good, too. The whole twisty look when the fire is being sucked out, and the contrast between the fire and noise inside the ship and no sound outside.
I had to watch it a few times before I appreciated some of the subtle stuff, because I was so engaged by the story the first time.
Anybody else compulsively rewatching Firefly episodes?

^Yep. I have to admit to re-watching epi's. I'm hooked! LOL! 
And I love how they had the background music and then sometimes nothing. I think "the nothing" got the point across better then the music. I thought those moments were very moving.

HAH!!!!!!!!!!
I was right!
Inara likes Mal because he respects her, not her job!

No it wasn't. So glad that was addressed last night too. It scarily paralelled the points we made in here, if that show hadn't already been taped I'd swear they were reading this thread.
