Just bit confused as the production numbers and order on the DVDs are different, so whats the best order to watch them in (trying to watch them in the chronilogical order of the firefly universe.)?
Also anyone know if any of the cast is attenting the Canadian National Expo in Toronto?

Pull the titles from a hat. Viewing in a randomised order will best dispell the illusion that there is a definitive order and save you hours of pointless argument. Unless you're 'Tash, in which case I claim my twenty bucks

I've used the recommendation from other browncoats for the order during recruiting periods. I've been successful twice...which is 100-percent of the time.
Have to begin with Serenity, no option there. How could the peabrains at FOX opt to go with a script that was written in two days for a pilot episode over a script that took weeks, if not months, to develop? Oh, but then again, we've always got The Swan. Christ, the idiocy is unbelieveable.
Second episode is Out of Gas. The majority of browncoats favorite episode.
From there, I ask the potential new browncoat what they would like to learn more about. River and Simon? If so, then Safe or Ariel are good episodes. The Reavers? It's Bushwhacked! For Inara, there's Shindig or Heart of Gold. Maybe it's Wash and Zoe, in which case we go with War Stories. For more on the War against the Alliance itself there's The Message. Or maybe it's our good friend Jayne Cobb...the Hero of Canton. Perhaps they'd like to learn more about the character of our captain, which I'd recommend Our Mrs. Reynolds (has to come before Trash). The Train Job is good for a romp-em-up. Interestingly, there's not really a defining Kaylee or Book episode. The closest we get to learning more about Book is Safe. My preference for the final episode is Objects in Space.
Anyhow, there's my two cents. Take for what ya will, ya gander? Say thankya. Say Discordia.

Yes, but FOX didn't put all the episodes into the hat.

Serenity
Train Job
Bushwacked
Shindig
Safe
Our Mrs. Renyolds
Jaynestown
Out of Gas
Ariel
War Stories
Trash
The Message
Heart of Gold
Objects in Space
Best thing to do is to stay in order, then you can get the growth of the crew as a crew, but if you decide not to make sure Our Mrs. Renyolds is before Trash and Ariel is before both War Stories and Trash. Heart of Gold works best before Objects in space.

Wash: Were I unwed I would take you in a manly fashion
Kaylee: 'Cause I'm pretty?
Wash: 'Cause you're pretty

Well I would say its best to watch all the eps in the order they are on the DVDs with the exception of The Message being moved to the last spot. It makes more sense in some parts and that final seen is ment to be the end of the series.

Shindig before Safe.
Trainjob before War Stories.
