The Message was the 14th and final episode to be scripted and filmed, and was in production when Fox cancelled Firefly. Thus some of the tones and hues of the show and characters may have been affected. It was never aired in the original broadcast season.

This is the episode that Alan did away with the character he had built as Wash, which does irritate me, as it apparently did Joss as well.

It guest stars Richard Burgi, who had previously portrayed a Psychic abled lead character in the Sentinel series - interesting that the final episode with River includes him.
Johnathon M. Woodward also guest stars as Tracey, after playing characters in other Joss creations.

This episode also is one featuring many flashback scenes, mostly to the War of Alliance Domination.

I think my favorite scene may have been the funeral scene, as a fitting wrap for the series. But for only this episode, I can't keep a dry eye with Jayne's Hat scene - maybe I did the first time or two, before it sank in so much.

What are your favorites?

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.


Not my favorite scene or quote, but one that's real HI-larious, and only those who have the original DVDs will be able to confirm. When Tracey backs out of the bridge and grabs Kaylee, he yells, "Gorramit, Mal!" yet the caption reads, "You're a rabbit, Mal!"

IIRC, someone even had a run of "You're a rabbit, Mal!" t-shirts made.

Don't all of the DVDs have that? Did it get corrected at some point?
