You get a real good perspective on Mal in this ep,Farscapeman.You see Mal as a man of moral substance by taking the bootie back to the townsfolk and then you see what a badass he is when he boots Crow into the engine.One of my favourite moments of the show. And by the way,I suggest you ignore all the confusion about the playing order.Watch them as they are and get to know the show.Once your up to speed ,you can then argue the finer details like the rest of us.By the way,you've got Bushwhacked next.You'll see how dark the show can be aswell.As a side note,watch for Jayne's reaction to questioning.Priceless.!!!!Glad your sticking with it.I'm jealous that you're watching it fresh.Enjoy.

Farscapeman,I think it would be great if you posted something after each episode.It's great to hear thoughts from a fresh perspective. There's a big dusty brown coat waiting for you at the end of the ride,dude.!!!

I guess I didn't finish my post, sorry.
Farscapeman, I'm not telling you what order you need to view them. You can make that decision. I'm only providing the information about one path. Whichever you decide upon, it is likely you will re-watch the eps repeatedly, so you can always watch the future viewings in a different sequence.
Regarding TTJ, you may have noticed that, since it was the "second Pilot" it had many of the same introductory elements. All the verse, Alliance, Rimworlds, Reavers, Firefly and crew had to be explained all over again, and the choices had to be made (Deal with Patience even tho it's known to be an ambush vs take the loot back to Paradiso, and kill the Fed vs FOD Crow), the importance and status of Registered Companions, the place that Jayne should hold - and what he thinks he should, all retold in TTJ.
edit- I haven't conjured the emails here, what you said in your email is correct.

Objects in Space is my favorite, followed by Serenity (pilot) and Out of Gas.

For me,it would have to be War Stories. IMHO it is the one episode where we see the true nature of every single character in the ensemble.A lot of questions are answered and it would have beeen a great set up episode for what,sadly,should have been!!

Actually, I would recommend watching the Serenity movie first and then watching the documentary Done the Impossible afterward. Spoilers abound in Done the Impossible and seeing the movie for the first time is something you definitely don't want to have spoiled.
I read a suggestion that you read the graphic novels between watching the show and the movie. I would second that recommendation -- especially "Those Left Behind". It ties up some loose ends between the show ending and the movie beginning.
You'll find that everyone here has their own favorite episode for reasons that we don't want to share with you just yet. And there are some folks like me who can't even manage to choose a favorite.
