What's your favourite Firefly episode?
SF Signal asks that difficult question in their latest poll.
I went with Objects in Space and found that I cast the first vote.

I went for OOG myself. Our Mrs Reynolds would have been next. I loves me some funnies.

Ah, hell, I like 'em all.
And yeah, b!x, in Bizarro World or Alternate Universe Earth Line 24, Firefly Season Three is prolly my favourite season...

I went with OiS, with my other top two being Serenity and OoG.

But then I love Serenity (the movie) most of all and it just makes me want to cry. Because it was a taste of what we should have been able to enjoy for several seasons.

Not "The Message".

And I think I'm most definetely going against the majority, but I cant be alone in not thinking "Our Mrs Reynolds" was as good as everyone said can I? I didnt think it was a bad episode at all, but its probably one of the ones I hardly ever rewatch?

But really all of Firefly's episodes were great.

(I just think everything works so perfectly in OoG, the score, the acting, the script - especially its structure, the lighting, everything just comes together to make something truly greater than the sum of its parts)

Story-wise, I would not be able to choose. Why isn't there an option for "All of them!"

I love "Serenity", I love "Out of Gas", I love "Our Mrs. Reynolds". I love them all, truth be told, but OIS just seems to shine a bit more brightly for me.

I was really surprised by the lack of love for "The Train Job," which I think is one of the best caper episodes ever! I also love "Objects in Space," "Our Mrs. Reynolds" and "Jaynestown." It was hard to pick just one!

I think it's kind of ironic that Minear's other solo episode, Bushwacked, is unique in its non-popularity.
EDIT - oh and I presume that the five people who voted for The Train Job are are the same members of the Fox executive committee who insisted it be shown first :)

OoG is simply the most beautifully filmed piece I've ever seen, the scene at the table where they're all laughing tugs at my heartstrings every time. When they laugh, I laugh.
OMR is the most watched episode in my house. Over and over it gets played to this day by various members of my family and we laugh at the same lines and exult in the cleverness of it.

My second choice would be one that I'm almost afraid to post...it's so often overlooked/put down/ranked second to last (hem, hem, The Dark Shape).
I adore Heart of Gold. I didn't always, but the more times I've seen it the more I think that I am in love with it. It's funny, and ragingly feminist in a "sex still rocks" kind of way and nothing, NOTHING hits you in the gut like watching Inara bawl, all by herself.
In fact, I think I'll go watch it when I get off of work.

In Bushwacked's defense, the scenes where the crew are being interrogated ("Her legs!") are some of the funniest in the series.
Sabbrielle | May 22, 00:01 CET
I'm thinking I need to add Heart of Gold and The Train Job to my list.
