Best Firefly Episode....
 

What is the best episode of Firefly? Which episode has the best character moment, most witty Whedonisque one liner and most intriguing turning point in the story arch?

My personel favourite episodes are "The Train Job", "Our Mrs. Reynolds", "Ariel" and "Heart of Gold". Although the rest of Firefly's season is consistently brilliant as well.

It's funny that you posted this question today because I just finished watching Firefly for the 2nd time.

My favorite episode is "Out of Gas" followed closely by "Objects in Space".

"Our Mrs. Reynolds" has the best writing and "Whedonesque" lines/moments. "Objects in Space" is second.

I loved the end of it:
"You did let her kiss you, didn't you? I KNEW it!"

"Our Mrs. Reynolds" is the best.

"She has a name!"
"So does this. I call it Vera."



The best scene in Firefly hands down though is in "Jaynestown". I think you can figure out which scene I'm referring to.

I voted for 'Objects' but the pilot was a close second.

Dr. Simon Tam: "No, this is what going mad feels like..."

My favorite is "Our Mrs. Reynolds." The first time through, I wasn't quite sold on the series until I watched that one. It marks the point I fell in love.

I watched them all over a period of a few days, and don't think there is one I would call my favorite. I don't think any were particularly bad.

My vote is for "Out of Gas."

I voted Ariel. The last scene of that episode made Jayne my favorite character

I had to vote for "objects in space," though the decision was not an easy one. I just loved Early's dialog. It also really worked to set up the distance and the love between River and the rest of the crew. I would really have loved to see where the story line was going (I don't think Serenity quite capture it).

It's hard to pick but there are three that I consider the absolute best that Firefly (and TV for the most part) has to offer.

Our Ms. Reynolds
Out of Gas
Objects In Space

Out of Gas and Objects in Space are the episodes I think of the most when I remember the series so I'm going to have to put them as my top 2.

Objects In Space

So dark, but so great.

Our Mrs. Reynolds.

What's up with the "and" use here?

My top 3 are:

Objects in Space
Jaynestown
Out of Gas

I just watched the series for the first time last week, and I would have to go with Jaynestown.

I hate Fox.

I voted for "Ariel" since it's such a good caper story. But still this is a hard choice.

Best lines, though, are from "War Stories" -

Zoë: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing?
Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Zoë: No, Jayne - this is something the Captain has to do for himself.
Mal: No! No, it's not!

Out of Gas.

no contest.

didn't even have to think about it. shame it didn't have it's own spot in the poll.

The top 3 episodes for me are:
Our Mrs. Reynolds
Out of Gas
Heart of Gold

I watched the season several back in early fall, but seem to remember liking "The Message" best.

I really get a kick out of Jaynestown.

Same here, but reversed ;)

I am suprised to see Heart of Gold be mentioned twice. I thought that Heart of Gold, along with Safe were the weakest episodes of the series. I still enjoyed the alot though.
