What a hard choice, such a shame there are only 14 to choose from.

Hmmm...

Probably the episode with town that worships Jayne as a hero lol.

War Stories, because for whatever reason, seeing River kill those men with her eyes closed is a scene that still gets to me this day.

I can't remember the name of my favorite episode off the top of my head but it is that one where the captain is sitting there naked in desert and he says that went well and you think someone pulled a fast one on him but then you find out later that he actually had the upper hand.

The only firefly episode that I can honestly say I did not like was the one called "Out of Gas." That episode was so bad that I remember being very angry because of it.

That one is "Trash" and it's awesome.

My first exposure to "Firefly" happened when I hosted a marathon of it at my house. it was such an amazing show that I was pissed when we got to the last one and there weren't anymore.

You are correct it is called "Trash." Thank you :drinker: I remember when we got to that episode and it completely made my day we all went out to eat after it and it was all we talked about and then we all got back to my house we actually watched it again before we continued the marathon.

The series was so good I actually paid for the meal of the guy that suggested I watch it.

They were all so damned memorable!!

"Our Mrs. Reynolds" makes me laugh every time and so does Jaynestown

What was that episode where the badass black chick was telling a new recruit "Never let the enemy know where you are." and then immediately after she says that the captain comes bursting in shooting at people behind him yelling "Here I am! Here I am!" then she tells the new guy "There are other schools of thought."

I laughed so hard at that scene I spit up my Pepsi.

That would be The Message

What'd y'all order a dead guy for?

You are wonderful I wish I knew you in real life.

I think my favorite is "Safe". I love all of them though!

My children are called Serenity and Kaylee. If it weren't for firefly they would not have names!

This one hasn't been mentioned yet, but the flashback where it goes back to how the crew all met and where Firefly was bought, etc. One of my favs.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not seen the episode "Out of Gas"

Enough people have posted that they have actually liked the episode "Out of Gas" I feel I should post the rationality that brought me to the conclusion that is a just a terrible episode. I recognize that I am only posting my opinion and no matter how justified my opinion may be I accept that I may not change any minds here. If you still like this episode it does not make you stupid or anything like that. I just happen to hate this episode and I feel "Firefly" is such a great series an explanation is in order.

You see an injured captain dragging himself through the ship. You immediately want to know how things got this way. The cause of their problems is an inexpensive and simple to get part that has malfunctioned and it plays a role in the ships ability to create oxygen and that puts the crew in to a bad spot.

I loved the flashbacks because they didn't just rehash stuff that we already saw. They showed how he ended up picking the ship and we also got to see how people ended up joining the crew. I thought Jayne's joining of the crew was hilarious in fact.

Eventually the captain decides his crew has a better chance if they hop in to shuttles and just fly off without him. They just don't have enough seats for everyone and the captain made the best call that he could. They left a button so that is the captain found a way to fix the ship he could call the shuttles back.

Then another ship found him. I had thought that this episode would be the one that would show that good people do still exist and that sometimes even the captain of the firefly would need a little bit of help. If that was the ending that they went with I would have probably said this episode was among the best.

If I stopped here you would think I loved this episode unfortunately they had some complete idiot take over toward the end.

This other ship shows up with the part and the captain proves to them that they are not walking in to an ambush. He offers them stuff from his cargo hold to pay for the part and it could have been a great ending but no. They tell him that they just want to steal the ship and the shoot the captain. They could just kill the captain now but they don't.

The captain gets to his gun and just tells them all to leave the part and get off the ship. Now even though they have every advantage over the injured captain they literally just leave him the part and fly away. It was like these two dimensional villains were literally just written in to the story to deliver this part to the captain.

The captain gets the part in so the ship can fix the oxygen problem but his gun shot wound is too much for him and he fails to make to the button to call the crew back. But that is alright because the writers decided to have the crew just go ahead and come back to the ship which they believe has no oxygen on it anyways just because.

The primary problem with this episode is that it had such potential. It brings to a very high peak and you can see so much promise and they they just drop you right off the edge. The contrast between the beginning of the episode and the ending is so huge that it makes me wonder if another writer really did take over when it came time to put an ending on this.

There was no reason whatsoever for those villains to fail at taking over that ship. They could have said "Be right Back" and took the part to their own ship and let the captain suffocate. They could have shot him a second time. They could have simple beat the captain down and took him prisoner. The only thing that would not make sense would be for them to non-fatally shoot the captain and then just leave the part and fly away and yet that is what they had these jack holes do.

I refuse to watch the final episode....

The Train Job.... nothing will ever beat this exchange:

Jayne: You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with 'til ya understand who's in ruttin' command here. Now we're finishing this deal, and then maybe, *maybe* we'll come back for those morons who got themselves caught. You can't change that by getting all... bendy.

Wash: All what?

Jayne: You've got the - the light from the console... keep you, lift you up. They shine like... *grabs at air* little angels... *falls on face*

Wash: Did he just go crazy and fall asleep?

Simon: I told him to sit down.


Pee myself laughing EVERY TIME
