Here's another episode that works so much better after seeing the pilot first. I remember being underwhelmed seeing this the first time, without knowing a thing about the Reavers or Mal's history in the war. Now? It makes a lot more sense!

Here's my review for Firefly 1.3: "Bushwhacked" (DVD version):

Overall, this episode is a strong and subtle look into the forces at work in Malcolm Reynolds. The plot is almost incidental, providing a near-perfect lens by which key interactions are revealed. Without the benefit of seeing the pilot episode, this episode isn’t as effective; having seen the pilot first gives this episode proper scope.

Thanks for this latest review. The URL has a mis-spelling.

Good review, minor typo in the scoring just to let you know.(2/2 listed for all instead of 2/4 for one, I believe Style?)
