For whatever reason I missed this last time around on UHD, but it seems it's starting back from the beginning again. As I understand it, the 2 hour pilot is called "Serenity." But looking at IMDB, they have "Serenity" as episode 11...so what's the deal?

UHD is airing "Serenity" first, then the next one is "The Train Job." Is that the correct order? (followed by "Bushwhacked," "Our Mrs. Reynolds," etc.)

If I get off my lazy ass someday, I'll just pick up the DVDs, but figured I might as well watch the pilot first so I don't buy it and hate it.

Fox didn't like "Serenity" saying there wasn't enough action, so they made Joss and crew shoot a new pilot, hence why Train Job was the first episode aired. When Fox cancelled it, they aired Serenity last. Also, this is why when you watched episodes on Fox out of order, certin episodes didn't make complete sense. And yeah, thats the right order for episodes.

Fox didn't think much of the feature-length pilot, so they aired it out of sequence. UHD is airing them in the same order as the DVD set.
