My favourite episode would probably be..
'The Message'

Mainly because it is so emotional. I always cry at the end.
Also because we get a glimpse of Mal and Zoe's past.
And that music at the end!
Plus Kaylee and Simon holding hands!

It is really impossible for me to say what my favorite is in any objective rational manner.

Going by the sheer volume of viewings they following order, but that might be watchability, not preference. I know that some like OiS and Message are lower on the list because they are more difficult to watch.

1. Out of Gas
2. Our Mrs. Reynolds
3. Serenity
4. Trash
5. War Stories
6. Ariel
7. Jaynestown
8. Objects in Space
9. The Message
10. Heart of Gold
11. Shindig
12. Bushwacked
13. The Train Job
14. Safe

Heart of Gold and Shindig have a glaring element which lowers than rating, despite the remainder being quite fun.

Hamilton: Yeah, but we don't care.

Trash - Just a hilarious story and a great premise, plus, EVERYONE gets involved which is great!

Out of Gas - The most well written episode and certainly the most interesting to watch.

Hi, longtime lurker, first time poster here. My fav episode is without doubt Out of Gas. There's so many great moments in it and my favourite line of the whole series, and one that's not mentioned alot, is Simon's "It was my birthday", to Inara. Sean Maher just delivered that line perfectly.
Next in line is probably, Serenity as Joss manages to mix all the elements of what makes Firefly great into two hours. the episode had drama, humour and a great insight into the relationships the characters have with each other. If only we could have had the chance to get many more like it. Here's hoping we will after the BDM.

Well, I'd have to say Ariel, Out Of Gas, Serenity and Objects In Space.

However, there is honestly not one episode I could do without on the DVD. They're all completely superb.

I can't limit myself to 3, but how about 14? No? Just 4 then?

4. Trash: Have to love the return of Saffron (even more than the original, I think). The episodes twists and turns just enough, but keeps a wonderful humor about itself.

3. The Message: This episode is just beautiful. The crew of Serenity find their way out of an impossible situation, but with a touching tribute.

2. Serenity, Parts 1 & 2: Amazing, simply amazing. If the BDM is this good, we all have nothing to worry about.

1. Out of Gas: This is one of the best hours of television ever. Ever.

Out of Gas would probably be my choice for best episode. It's like a mini-epic -- it has everything. And the flashbacks added a lot to the story line moving forward.

Ariel would probably be next on my list of favorites.

But Our Mrs. Reynolds probably has the most humorous watch-ability factor going.

I was thinking about this and wondering 'why do they have to give Joss a year and 50 million dollars to make the movie?' Didn't he shoot Serenity (the pilot) in like two weeks. Then we might not have to wait too long for the trilogy.

Heck if you gave Joss 1 and a half hours in a room with a camera and a light for shadow puppets you could have a damn good movie.

I can't wait this long the suspense is killing me.
