There are other threads around which discuss favorite episode, character, scene, quote, etc etc. You can visit those when you've finished the series. I don't want to spoil them for you.
However, I can say that every episode has a fan who listed it as their favorite. Also every episode has at least one scene which some fan listed as their favorite in the whole series. Some episodes and scenes you might not rank as high the first time, but appreciate more on future repeat viewings.
The thing is, for many of us fans, the worst episode of Firefly is just so far above the fray of all the other shows on TV, that it is very hard to rank them for fear of omitting one which is really just such a gem among many in this show.
Have you invited some friends to gather round and watch the upcoming episodes?

It's never my intention to tell anyone what to do, however I was referring to the DVD release. My guess is that Joss wanted us to see it that way.
So if it sounded like I was trying to confuse or order anyone around - then no, that was not my meaning. I wanted to share the experience that I had when I first bought my set.
My reasons for were perhaps not clear and probably somewhat confusing. Ok, if that's the case - I apologize.

I just stumbled back into this thread, and there's been a lot of posting since I did last read of it. Hell, dude (said WnW presumptuously), I thought you made a good, tight, and even entertaining case. I felt neither confused or as if I was being lectured to. (The 4th or 5th post I read after yours did give me the feeling that God's Own Hall Monitor was in a smiting mood, but oh well. Had it in mind to type this even before reading said post.
)ETA: Hail and well met, Farscapeman! (Or "peace and a bottle of hair grease" - whichever you prefer.)

We enjoy talking with the newbs. But we do not want to spoil your enjoyment with spoilers. You also said you would not watch more than one episode per week. Which episode were you up to?

Agree, completely. Let us know what show you just watched and give your take so we can reply. Some of us have have read about a lot of the backstory and know where the plotlines are leading and don't want to ruin anything for you (some issues are still up in the air).
I was kind of excited when you first started posting this as seeing a fresh perspective on the episodes brings back some of the feelings I had when I first saw them. Please, don't be affraid to post your ideas or opinions (we actually want to get your 'take' on the show).

Farscapeman,have you watched Bushwhacked yet?.Let us know your views when you have.And don't feel pushed out coz your a newbie.I am a relative newcomer myself and you will notice that a lot of Browncoats on here have been with the forum from the very start.So it stands to reason that a lot of discussions will tend to flow between the established people.Having said that,when I have ever posted I have never been ignored.Sometimes the conversations may have a tendency to wander off track a little,but that's the nature of conversation.Basically,the more you post the more your views will be heard.They are a fine bunch of peeps on this site,all with wide ranging and diverse opinions.You get the odd sledger who likes a good poke at people,but if you give as good as you get,nobody will knock you for it.Please keep returning with your views(and they are allowed to be negative ones aswell.Don't be afraid to express them).We're all adults and every view is valid.

Well three responses. Maybe I was a bit hastey.
I just watched bushwacked. Some grreat Jane in this one. We got a little more insight into the reavers. Mal saves the day. And walsh had me rolling with laughter. Very Dark compared to the last two and had a somber melencholy feel. But was broken up well with the nice bits of humor.
Kaylee upset when they called the ship junk then that's all she could talk about when questioned was a riot. They all seemed to have accepted the doc, but jane. He doesn't seem to ba a fan. PLaying pranks and everything.
So how do you guys like this episode?

Don't wanta spoil your fun or give away much, but Bushwacked and The Train Job are the 2 episodes I never watch, sadly. I know there's good stuff in them, but over all, I think they're TOO dark. I look upon them as sorta teething pains, where everybody was figuring out what did and didn't work. IMHO, things got better, quickly, with Shindig, Our Mrs. Reynolds, JaynesTown, and Safe, as the team hit its stride. A little bit lighter touch, a little more relief from the dark stuff.

I love that ep.As I pointed out before F-man,the reaction of Jayne when he was being questioned by the Alliance Commander was classic.This is where you see some of Jayne's conflicting qualities.He comes across as mercenary and entirely self-absorbed most of the time.But in that instance you realise that he does have some strong loyalties.Or maybe he just despises the Alliance authority more than he has loyalty to the crew.It's ambiguous and that's what is interesting about him.Jayne is mine and you will find a lot of peoples' favourite character in not just this show,but in any show.Glad you're still with us dude.I'm swatting the mothballs off your coat as we speak.!!You've got Shindig next,and this is where you will fall head over heels in love with Kaylee.The line that I'd like you to watch out for is where the old gentleman in the episode comes to her rescue.(any more than that I cannot say.)
