Firefly, “Objects In Space” (December 13, 2002)
In spite of producing many series that would best be described as cult hits, TV super-producer Joss Whedon has produced only one that was canceled unceremoniously, before he could come up with a finale designed to close off the story: Firefly. (Vampire detective series Angel was canceled with plenty of time for Whedon to craft a finale. He just chose to end on a seeming cliffhanger.) The never-ending outcry over the series’ cancellation drowns out the fact that “Objects In Space” was a pretty great way for the show to go out. Bounty hunter Jubal Early’s (Richard Brooks) invasion of the spaceship Serenity, his specific methods for dealing with each member of the crew, and the crew’s eventual fight back and victory give every cast member a moment in the sun, and the episode is audacious enough (among other things, it’s Joss Whedon giving a treatise on existentialism) that it’s easy to wish there could have been a future for the increasingly ambitious show. It’s still great to see it go out on top.

ZEEK

haha I didn't even realize the last real episode aired on a Friday the 13th. Though you can't really call it the finale. Since the pilot turned into the finale.

The article did save lucky number 13 for Firefly though. Gotta love the luck our series has.

I think OIS really was a good finale for many of the reasons that the article mentioned. It ended on a happy note, we've been through something really scary, but we're all a family together, we are all needed here on Serenity and we'll keep flying together, no matter what else comes our way, we'll keep flying and facing the verse bravely. And that is enough, that is substantial.
