ok, for those of you who have seen 'Firefly' I wanna know which is your favorite ep?
My fave has got to be 'Out of Gas' I just think it's such a great story. i love the bit at the end, when Mal decides to sleep, then looks at them all and asks if they're all still gonna be there when he wakes up. it's so sweet!
Oh, and the last scene, where Mal is gazing at Serenity in the junkyard...that is such an emotional scene for me!!
so come on, guys!! what's your favorite ep?
 
Well, I'm boring, I would say Serenity or Objects in Space. But I'm not sure actually. I'd have to see the show again to really be able to choose. All I know is that I love the show even more now when I've seen the movie...
 
I chose Jaynestown, not because it's the quality of the series (personally I'd say Objects in Space for that title), but just because Jaynestown is the one I'll watch over and over again.
 
Ugh, I can't pic just one!! If I have to, I have to go with Our Mrs. Reynolds, but I also love Objects in Space, Ariel, Jaynestown and Serenity.
 
I don't think I can really pick a favorite episode but I do have a couple of favorite scenes. One that immediately comes to me is the beginning scene from Our Mrs. Reynolds. Where Mal and Jayne are dressed up as man and wife in a covered wagon and the conversation that goes a little like this:

BANDIT 1
Pardon me for intruding, but I
believe y'all are carrying something of mine.

The Farmer doesn't lift his head, barely whispers:

FARMER
T'ain't your'n.

BANDIT 1
(pissed)
You talking words to me? You
< steaming crap pile >, you gonna mouth
off after what you done? Did you
think we wouldn't find out you
changed your route? You're gonna
give us what due us and every damn
thing else on that boat, and I think
maybe you're gonna give me a little
one-on-one time with the Mrs.

The Farmer lifts his head - it's JAYNE, smiling.

JAYNE
You might wanna reconsider that last
part. I married me a powerful ugly
creature.

MAL looks up from under his bonnet, shocked.

MAL
How can you say that? How can you
shame me in front of new people?

JAYNE
If I could make you prettier, I would.

MAL
You're not the man I met a year ago.

Over this is the extreme confusion of BANDIT 1, who finally gets pissed enough to go for his gun -

- and Mal and Jayne, in mid-spat, raise theirs first, targeting 1 and 2.


MAL
Think very hard. You been
birddoggin' this township a while
now, and they wouldn't mind a corpse
of you. Now you could luxuriate in
a nice jail cell but if your hand
touches metal, I swear by my pretty
floral bonnet I will end you.

That cracks me up everytime...LOL.
 
I think my absolute favorite is Heart of Gold (Mal's love scene does it for me....that's what puts HOG over the top!) but I love Our Mrs. Reynolds, Ariel, Trash and Serenity, too. They all have something in them I like!
 
Anita, i LOVE that scene! it's one of my faves of the show!!
i also love the one between River and Mal at the end of Objest in Space...in fact, i love any scene with Mal and River...especially the last scene of the movie!
 
I'm going to say War Stories - that was the one where I really started liking Zoe. And Mal and Wash getting tortured and bantering. Just a cool cool ep I thought.

I liked that one, too. The end was so funny, when Mal says to Zoe that Wash insists they go have sex now.......LOL! The look on Wash's face was priceless! I also liked when Zoe had to pick one of them and with no hesitation at all (Niska didn't even have time to get the whole sentence out!) she picks Wash......Awwwww, so sweet!
 
i love Janye's line in that scene as he walks in on Mal and Zoe

'Something about that's just downright unsettling' (i think that's right!)
 
I love Jaynestown. I think I've seen that well over 20 times and yet I can watch it more. The song is priceless. Everything about that episode is great. Jayne is one of the best characters in the series, the one you don't know what he's going to do next, minus River. It's great.
 
I'm a new comer to Firefly, I just watched the entire season yesterday for the first time, and WOW it was amazing I love River's character she is so brilliant and fascinating so for that reason I choose Objects in Space, I loved it! My next would be Ariel, I think thats right thats the one where they robbed the hospital right? I though that ep was so cool.

I know. Its not only the lines, its all the looks on their faces. Has anyone else noticed how whenever Mal says something 'smart' he always has the "Who me?" look on his face. He tries to look so innocent. And I also love that they all sound as if they could be from Texas or the South. That's great. Its sort of a Sci-fi western. LOL.

Another quote I like is Wash's quote from Serenity:
"Nobody's saying that. Nobody but Jayne is saying that."
LOL. That cracked me up.
 
I'm not a big fan of Jayne, but Janynestown was HILLARIOUS. I thought Simon was sooo funny in this one too, if it weren't for that ep, I would still hate Simon
 
How can you not love Jaynestown.

"The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!" :bbounce:
 
For me it's a tie between out of gas and Serenity but I voted for serenity cause it came first. Also the dinosaur scene was hilarious
 
I loved all FF episodes, but my favourite would be Out Of Gas! It just has everything ... suspense, action, fun and heartbreaking moments. I love how the flashbacks of how the crew found together were alternated with Mals desperate fight to fix Serenity and that both of the shuttle crews decided to come back on their own, no matter what.

When Mal asks them at the end if they all will still be there when he wakes up again .. it gets me every time 🙂
