You know, I’m thinkin’ you one of them independence. Crow, engine…you know what I’m talking about.At least Fox aired it before “War Stories.” Otherwise, the Niska story line would’ve been a tad confusing for those who watched on television. Of course, there are no bad episodes of Firefly. Incidentally, it aired as the shows pilot and fortunately, it’s an episode good enough to be seen first and maintain a fan base. This, of course, is not the case for Firefly. “The Train Job” isn’t Firefly at its best, but it’s still gorram entertaining. Reasonably, the goal is to attract enough attention with a strong pilot so the audience won’t mind sitting through the following throwaways. I suppose it’s done to space out the big guns. Many shows I’ve seen bear “meh” second episodes. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir. Appears we got here just in the nick of time. Today, we were kidnapped by hill folk never to be seen again. Jayne: Dear Diary, today I was pompous and my sister was crazy.Mal: See, morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like. River: The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems. Although, I’d take it as a kindness if she didn’t. Mal: Soon as we unload, she can holler until her ears bleed.Simon and River’s conversation while eating the hodgeberries.River dancing at the Jiangyin Festival mixed with the firefight at the corral.Plus, we get to see some of Book’s influence within the Alliance. Not only does Simon worry more for River than their parents during River’s time at The Academy, Simon puts himself up to burned at the stake so that River wouldn’t die alone. Sure, he’s a bit whiny, but when you look at all the poor guy has thrown away for his sister, it’s hard not to have a little respect for him. I always felt that Simon is under appreciated. It also gives us the best showcasing of Simon’s character. I felt even more sorry for River after seeing her as a sound-minded child. The audience gets some great insight into their lives, though. Not so much for them, since they get kidnapped and almost burned at the stake. Nandi: You okay with this? Mal: I’m just waiting to see if I pass out…long story.Wash: Three-point, four-hour, should do it.Don’t know these folks, don’t much care to. As has been stated, this job is strictly speculative. Zoe: No one’s gonna force you to go, Jayne.Book uncomfortably trying to make a sandwich while the prostitutes seek guidance from him.Inara’s reaction to Mal sleeping with Nandi.My judgement on that could be swayed from being a Supernatural fan, though. Fredric Lehne makes a good villain with his portrayal of Rance Burgess. Mal sleeping with Nandi leads to Inara decided to leave Serenity, but it shows us the depth of Inara’s feelings for Mal. There’s some good development between Mal and Inara (sort of).
I don’t think it pops quite as well as most of the others, but there are plenty of memorable moments throughout. “Heart of Gold” is a decent enough episode in Firefly‘s repertoire. Wash: Man walks down the street in that hat, people know he’s not afraid of anything.The Battle of Du-Khang (especially Mal’s entrance).

That aside, the rest of the episode is full of classic Whedon wit. Things could’ve gone smoother if they simply informed Tracy of their plan. I am referring to the twist where Tracy thinks that the crew is turning him in to the Alliance, but they really weren’t. What docks a couple points off of “The Message” is some of the writing, the type of writing you don’t commonly see on Firefly. The ending mixed with the inclusion of Jayne’s infamous hat give this episode some major points, so it pains me to put it at the bottom of my list. That said, this list will most likely feel like me gushing over each episode while arranging them in random order.Īlthough Tracy ended being a bit of a tool, the ending of this episode was still enough to pack an emotional punch. Ranking the episodes is no easy feat, and even episodes that don’t rank in my top 10 still give us 45 minutes of pure entertainment. Each tells a great story and gives insight into the lives of a wonderful arrangement of characters.

Shows like that stay strong for good reason.įirefly’s 14 episodes have enough great moments and quotes to fill a series of 100 episodes. Fans have kept the series alive over the past ten years since it’s cancellation. Fox’s apparent goal to destroy Joss Whedon’s prized creation is most likely in direct correlation with Firefly‘s huge, dedicated fan base, A.K.A. Fox might’ve won the battle, putting us on the losing side, but that in no way puts us on the wrong side.
From that point forward, Fox was nothing to me but the “Alliance”. Firefly’s cancellation is one of television’s greatest crimes.
