    Yeah, I'd have to agree that Out of Gas is the best episode. There are so many story threads told in such an interesting way. Best of all, the back stories of the core crew, and most importantly how they came upon Serenity. She's such an important character, but gets overlooked so easily because most people see her as just a ship. I get a little choked up every time I see the end of the episode where you realize the entire time the salesman is talking, he's going on about some other ship, and all Mal can focus on is the little Firefly off in the distance that has been left to rust in the sun.

      Yes, you hit it! Out of Gas is my favorite because it makes it so clear that Serenity herself is a character just as flawed and complex and lovable as the rest of the cast.

        Do you have a favourite episode?
        Yes, all of them 🙂
        Honestly though, it is very difficult to pick out just one.. it feels so exceedingly unfair to the others, hehe.

          Yeah out of gas. But also objects in space. Because I think it was a significant episode for River. And the whole Lion thing.

            On the episode Jaynestown
            The end conversation between Nathan Fillion & Adam baldwinwhen Nathan says..
            Every man ever got a statue made of him was one kind of a son of a bitch or another

              Yeah, I think we can all agree that Out of gas is an absolute masterpiece. The way every story is intertwined and the way the main conflict of the episode is shown sort of backwards, in two different timelines; it just keeps your attention for the whole run of the episode. It's very emotional but also technically accomplished.

                I agree that
                Out of Gas
                is probably the best episode. My favourites are probably
                Ariel
                and
                Trash
                . If I'm just pulling one out to watch, however,
                Serenity
                (the pilot) usually wins.

                  Objects in Space b/c I like the Jubal Bounty Hunter character. He had an interesting and strange outlook on life. I wish he lived I could see a series built around him.
                  I liked 'Our Mrs. Reynolds' mainly b/c I thought Christina Hendricks was extra sexy in that role, moreso than other roles she's had.

                    Hmm, I don't think I have an absolute favourite episode, but I really like Out of Gas. That episode was awesome, with a great soundtrack, and cinematography. Ariel was also a really good episode, the Hands of Blue were great villains. Objects in space was also great. So was war stories, the message, and serenity part one and two. Better add in trash, heart of gold, our ms reynolds, safe, and defiantly jaynestown. Oh, and also bushwhacked and the train job! They were great. And I can't forget shindig. That was pretty great.
                    These are pretty much my favourite episodes of the entire show. They were really the highlights for me.
                    Wait a minute.

                      I see you even mentioned "Shindig". That should be the yardstick with which hardcore fans of the show should be measured.

                          Out of Gas
                          is my favorite dramatic episode.
                          Our Mrs. Reynolds
                          is probably my favorite comedic-leaning episode. I really can't choose between the two, because they both represent such a great effort.
                          And FURTHERMORE, this is my signature! SERIOUSLY! Did you think I was still talking about my point?

                            It's either Out of Gas or Objects in Space. I love both of them to death.

                              Out of Gas, for the back stories.
                              And, Objects in Space, probably my favorite. Early's last line makes for a fitting series conclusion that will have to do. I still get teary-eyed when he says it.

                                I just finished my annual Firefly + Serenity marathon. My favorite three Firefly episodes are:
                                Out of Gas
                                Objects in Space
                                Trash
                                I actually really like all of Firefly's episodes but I like those three the most.
                                How do you know it's love if you've never been in love before?

                                  Definitely "Our Mrs. Reynolds" the chemistry was amazing between Fillion and Hendricks. Love when women outsmart men in TV shows which is not so often in this patriarchal society.

                                    Mrs. Reynolds, Hearts of Gold and Trash (just Mal sitting on the ground naked saying "Yeah, that went well.").


                                    If you don't like the show, stop watching it!

                                      I really like
                                      Ariel
                                      , from the planning of the heist, to the heist itself ("We applied the cortical electrodes, but couldn't get a neural response!"), to Simon saving a dying patient, to Jayne's betrayal and ultimate redemption at the end of the episode ("Don't tell 'em what I did!") Plus, we get to learn a little more about River's condition and what the Academy did to her. Great episode all around.
                                      I also love
                                      Shindig
                                      , mainly the scenes on the ship with Badger. ("That there was exactly the type of diversion we could have used.")
                                      My least favorite is
                                      The Message
                                      or
                                      Objects in Space
                                      . The Message is kind of pointless, although I love the opening scene with Jayne's hat. Objects in Space was a bit existential, which made it a great River episode, but I never really could get into it. I found it quite boring. Plus, Jubal Early just annoyed the hell out of me.

                                      Arya: Lots of people name their swords.
                                      The Hound: Lots of c_nts.

                                        It hard to name a favorite, they were all so good! I would have to agree about "The Message" being the weak link in the whole series, though. Even saying that, there is a bit of poignancy, if you have read the back stories about the show. The scene when they were all standing around the coffin listening to the recording, was shot JUST a few moments after they all got word that the show was cancelled. If you go back and watch that part, it is very touching, the oh so real camaraderie between the cast members just shines. They are all truly upset.
                                        And I would agree, Objects in Space was probably the next least favorite of mine. I still have never heard anyone explain the scene with River grabbing the branch, and it turning into a gun Anyone have comments about that?

                                          Today I was in the mood to watch something very funny, but didnt really know what to pickin a collection of thousands of movies and series that easily can get difficult
                                          .
                                          I watched Slither just the other day and then thought wtf just stick with Fillion and watched "Our Mrs. Reynolds"!
                                          This one cracks me up every time, the first mins after the Intro alone are so god d*mn hilarious, my stomach always hurts! I've always thought this is the best fun ep
                                          of the showand how's the name of the best drama one? Stuck in Space? No. Lets check imdbYeah of course "Out of Gas", fool.
                                          I came across this thread where many ppl just think the same, and reading all the praise here I got really in the mood to also watch "Out of Gas"then I rememberd oh yeah I didn't watched "Serenity" on my last marathon(4-5 months ago), because the HDD with the copy of it was broken, so watched "Object in Space" and "Serenity" -> Just finished and I just wanted go to sleep after "Our. Mrs Reynolds"
                                          And now it feels kind of incomplete in my headso I'll start with my third (full) marathon this year tomorrow
                                          It's always like that, if I remember correct three times I just wanted to watch Mrs. Reynolds, I did and it lead to a marathonI might have serious issues
                                          But in my humble defense, I have to state, I watched Firefly for the first time in 2012, so ten years later than the Op her/his(?)annual marathons, so its clear I have to binge like three/four-monthly!
                                          So and whats the point of my lengthy story regarding the Op's question:
                                          Just all of it!
