Trash
- Serenity hovering underneath the island estate. You'd think security would notice something like that.
Heart of Gold
- Most people all ready have voiced/written what was wrong with this ep. I'll just add that one of my friends called the show, "The A-Team" after watching this ep.
The Message
- it seemed a bit odd how after Mal cuts off Womack from the comm, everybody sits in the lounge and have a nice long talk. I mean, it's not like Womack's ship just left and I doubt Wash could keep Womack distracted that long.

I expected Mal to light up a cigar and say "I love it when a plan comes together".
Just thought - hats. I just don't like some of the hats. Its a failing in my character I suppose.

In the Train Job, when Mal says
Quote:about Simon. I hate that! I just want to reach into the tv and slap Mal!
he's my hero
It just really irks me, and so does not read with the rest of Mal's character. And that ridiculous little voice! I know that Joss and company and been handed the dictate to make Mal funnier, but really - this particular line just doesn't do it. So that's my absolutely most hated moment in all of Firefly.

I see your point per your comments on 'The Message'. However, as mentioned by others, Mal is the Capt,( or in Tracy's case, Sarge ) and when he says jump.... Also, having Mal not reveal the plan gave Tracy an opportunity to show his true colors....calling Mal and Zoe 'chumps' or what ever..that he had played them for being so gullible. In the end, however, it was Mal and Zoe who showed THEIR true colors by carrying Tracy home.
And how ironic that it was Mal who was carrying that bullet w/ Tracy's name on it..so long after the war had ended.

My least favorite moment has to be when the Feds arrive in "Bushwhacked". That created some plot problems. Most notably, I have a hard time believing they would really let Mal go free after he kills the hostile.
If the Feds had not stumbled in that situation, the rest of the episode would have been about our heroes trying to get away from the Reavers that are coming back for them. I seriously think "Bushwhacked" would have been something truly great had that been the case.

I just had to reply because I just rewatched that episode and put down the "He's my hero" moment as my favorite fireflygasm. I love that in tv land such a thing is totally "out of character," (can you imagine William Riker using a funny voice--would you want to?), but people in the real world do that all, all, all the time. I thought it encapsulated Mal's feelings about Simon beautifully and was very consistant with Mal's infamous practical joke about Kaylee's death. Simon just brings out the prankster in Mal. We can all appreciate how decent and noble Mal is, but I like that he is also juvanile and every now and then goofy.

The moment that sticks in my brain as irksome is in "Trash" when WhatsHisFace catches Mal and Saffron/Yolanda, is overjoyed, and offers Mal a reward. Had I been him, I would have taken the reward and left the two of them in peace. The pay-off would have been less, but so would the risk.
Now, I may come back later and curse aloud another moment, as my dvd player has yet to allow me to watch "Heart of Gold" and it seems to have raised some ire.

Oh sure, haven't you ever seen Junkyard Wars?

It would not be civilized to punish a man for just saving your life.
"Wash, where is my damn spaceship?"

Exactly. They let Mal go because he had saved the life of the Alliance commander.
Of course, the Alliance commander took the cargo that Mal and our heroes liberated from the derelict ship.
