I'm a movie convert. So I don't know how it was to see them aired in original order, without the knowledge of Serenity.
I do know what a heck of a re-wind it was to see their character progressions from the beginning.
That said, I would NOT do Ariel, Heart of Gold, or Our Mrs. Reynolds.
These have "special character background knowledge" necessary for jokes and true depth of plot. Plus they're all episodes where one or more prominent characters is really unbalanced.
Train Job, maligned as it is, seems to do a pretty good job of setting us up fast with the 'feel'. But it of course can't stop there.
I show people the first half of Serenity (ep.) Usually they can't stop in the middle. :D If they can, it usually means they wouldn't find the rest exciting enough. Y'know, too hokey. Infidels.
Other than that, I agree with Steamboat28: bar fights and spaceships all the way.
I liked The Movie well enough, but it was that scene from the series where Mal gets thrown through a holographic bar window by guys in cowboy boots that I knew I ain't comin' back from the black.
Going for a ride.
