The event that kicked the series' plot into gear was Simon (Sean Maher) and River Tam (Summer Glau) joining the crew of the Serenity after Simon rescued his genius sister from the Alliance, whose inhumane experiments had scrambled her brain. Mal's reason for allowing the fugitives to remain on board was always a mystery, with the two being liabilit...
Unaired during the original broadcast, this episode sees Mal (Nathan Fillion) and the crew agreeing to protect Inara's (Morena Baccarin) friend Nandi (Melinda Clarke) and her brothel from the wrath of a local landowner. It leans into the show's Western aesthetic with an old-fashioned story, with the crew being more clearly defined as good guys than...
It was always intriguing when we got glimpses into the crew's past, especially Mal and Zoe's (Gina Torres) time in the Unification War. This (originally unaired) episode sheds some light on that time, as the former soldiers are entrusted with the corpse of an old army buddy. It's a great story with a strong emotional core for Mal and Zoe, highlight...
Originally aired as the second episode, this story does a lot to establish the threat of both the Alliance and the Reavers, as well as marking the first appearance (in either viewing order) of the Hands of Blue. You've got to admire how the show played catch-up after the original pilot went unaired. This is definitely one of the show's darker episo...
Serving as the pilot for the original run, this is a great episode that cuts to the essence of what motivates the crew and shows what kind of man Mal really is. The train heist is a thrilling action caper, but of course, the moral quandary faced by the crew is the real meat of the story. As soon as Mal and Zoe realize that the cargo they've been hi...
One of the most notable guest stars in Firefly's short lifetime was Christina Hendricks' con artist, Saffron. In this, her second and final appearance, she convinces Mal to help her steal an antique laser weapon from a wealthy collector. That's right; it's a good, old-fashioned heist story, complete with all the fun that the concept entails. Saffro...
This tense and high-stakes episode sees Simon hire the crew to help him sneak River into a state-of-the-art hospital so he can run some tests on her. The dramatic core of the episode comes with Jayne's (Adam Baldwin) betrayal, as he attempts to turn the Tam siblings over in exchange for a reward. It also sees the return of the Hands of Blue, who de...
As rough and untrustworthy as Jayne can be, he can also be endearing, and this episode gives him a chance to shine. The premise of a town praising Jayne as a folk hero is comedy gold, but it also gets pretty deep. It poses questions about the role of heroes in society, the importance of giving hope to the downtrodden, and how myths take on a life o...
Despite being the feature-length pilot for the series, this episode was notoriously aired as the series finale during the original Fox broadcast, which is more than a little backward. The episode is stunning and does a fantastic job of setting up the key plot points for the series and establishing the characters and the universe they inhabit. By th...
This episode is intense on many levels and really gets to the heart of some underlying issues present among the crew while demonstrating that this series has consequences. It sees the return of "The Train Job's" Adelai Niska (Michael Fairman), who captures Mal and Wash and tortures them in retribution for their earlier betrayal. RELATED:5 Iconic Ch...
