I have seen all but the 3 eposides that have not aired her in the US...

Hmmm Favorite episode.. I think it would have to be the when Serentity was disabled and Mal was injured becuase it gave the back round for how the crew came 'to be'

Welcome! "Out of Gas" was a good episode. My favorite would have to be "Train Job, the one where Mal (my favorite character) kicked the thug into Serenity's turbine? Who's your favorite character?

And a shiny welcome to you. I'd have to say my favorite is Our Mrs. Renolyds, followed only by The Trash. And then there's War Stories & Shindig. Oh Gorammit I love them all!!! So are you aware of the DVD seet coming in Dec?

Sing with me.... I'm dreaming of a "shiny" Christmas..

Freedom is Important because People are Important


My favority ep was War Stories. It was the first complete episode I ever saw, and it hooked me on the series.

I especially liked the "This is something the Cap'n needs to do for himself" / "No it isn't!" cliche breaker.

Greetings to you!
Picking a favorite episode is like picking a favorite character....
I guess Out of Gas... I think.
Also, if I had to pick a crew member to be stranded on a deserted island with it would be Jayne ~` also he's good in a pinch but don't let him try to take over
Or maybe Book for the intellectual stimulation.
Or Kaylle 'cause she can cook.
Aw shucks I duno I give up!

I still think Objects in Space is one of the best episodes. River does a great job of playing with Jubals mind.

I think Jubal was about two steps from becoming a Reaver, he was standing too close to the edge of sanity. If Mal hadn't tossed him, I think Jubal Early would have eventually bit a bullet.

Welome Leah from an Alaskan Firefly Lover!!
My fav. male character is Mal (of course), and then i am not sure who i like more Zoe or Kaylee, both make me laugh. All episodes are my favorite. My favorite quote is from Act Two of the "Dead or Alive" script it goes like this:

"RIVER: Purple elephants are flying.
MAL: Good. Thanks for the update.


Hope you enjoyed it. Welcome again!! Keep Flyin'!

Hi and welcome to our strange but lovable masses, Ro!

And I've just gotta say, The Message is the best damn episode of Firefly out there, closely followed by OiS and I’d really, really, really, like to be stranded with Simon on a desert island. Oh yeah.

Favorite ep? Serenity was excellent, but I'd have to say my fav was Ariel, the one where they break into the hospital.

Reason why? I'd have to say it's cause of a little game called "Shadowrun."

Favorite character? Toss up between Jayne and Mal.

Jayne: "How big a room?"

Jaynestown is my favourite epsiode I think.

Betcha can't guess who my favourite character is?

Oh, all right then - it's Jayne!

Book: “A duel?”
Wash: “With swords?”

Yes, well welcome!
I'd have to say my favorite episode is War Stories because Wash got to play such a big part and it was so funny, so obviously my favorite character is Wash. Though I do think Badger kicks butt as well. I do agree that Out Of Gas is an awesome episode. I swear I was about in tears because the ending was just like he'd died and his perspective on Heaven would to be with all his crew. That's what it was like anyway, ovbiously he didn't actually die.
Glad to have you here.

Ro already knows this, but my favorite is Our Mrs. Reynolds. I start laughing from the moment Mal lifts his head up under that mighty pretty bonnet.

"I'm your wife"

"The special level hell..."

"Preacher - you got a smutty mind!"

"How quaint!"

"When did this get to be not funny?"

"Is it Christmas?"

"What happened about me?"

"I don't need to be examined. I'm comfy."

And I can testify to the fact that when the song started in Janyestown, Ro was utterly and completely sucked in.

whoa...good perspective. I hadn't thought of it that way, but now that you mention it...yeah. I've always thought that Mal wanted to create a family, not just a crew. He certainly gives them that kind of loyalty.

Badger is just the weasley kind of baddie any space drama needs. With better fits, he could have been doing exactly what he does in Down Below on Babylon 5.

My favorite character? don't have one, really. Everyone fit their characters so well, there's just no need to go getting choosy.

Pirates and Westerns and Space Opera. Hmmmm.

One thing that kinda bugs me with any of the Space Western stuff is that science fiction (or space opera) is pretty versatile. I mean look at Dune, or Star Wars, there are a number of different historical settings those stories can be set in. Or rather, recreate the historical melue (?) of those earlier eras in a space faring setting. Or use multiple ones.

Is there piracy in the Firefly universe? We see the seeds of peasant rebellion on several planets, (Jaynestown, as one example) Are their the equivalent of samuri? It has been noted that in a recent census in Australia, a sizable fraction of that continent listed their religion as "Jedi". How would bikers and surfers adapt to the big black.

Its late, and I am insane.

I'd say yes, as evidenced by those lowlifes that were going to snatch Serenity in OoG. Somehow, though, I don't think they'd run around saying "YArrrr"

Haven't seen a lot of open water for surfing, though, have we? The core worlds seem a little too...I dunno, refined for that?
