For me, it's really hard to pick just one favorite episode of Firefly. I can pick out a couple that aren't my favorites, but to narrow it down to my absolute favorite episode is difficult!
But I suppose this wouldn't be a very good article if I didn't say which one I like the best. So most of the time, my favorite episode is "Shindig." I love how cute Kaylee is, with her fluffy pink dress, and wanting to interrogate the buffet table. I love how elegant Inara is, and how gallant Mal is. And I love River imitating Badger's accent, while back on the ship.
So I want to know what your favorite episode is. Only I'm not going to limit anyone else to just choosing one. Just put one episode per comment, and explain what it is about that episode that you like so much! :)

Jayne: "I could get nekkid."
Everyone: "NO!"
Out of Gas, Jaynestown, Serenity (the pilot), Ariel, Objects in Space... they're all good in their own ways, which is why it was such a good show. Even the ones that aren't as popular (like Safe, The Train Job, Bushwhacked) have excellent qualities and writing.
The Train Job ~ "You do not like I kill this man?" "Oh, I'm sure he was a bad man." "My wife's nephew.... at dinner I am getting earful, but there is no getting out of that." And the best scene from a TV show EVER at the end... AWESOME. Completely sold me on the show forever!
Shindig, Out of Gas, Jaynestown, Serenity, Ariel, War Stories, Objects in Space, Trash, Our Mrs. Reynolds.... The music, the casting, the writing, the cinematography, the Mandarin Chinese! What's not to LOVE!?
I've bought 4 or 5 copies of the series and 2 or 3 of the movie, Serenity. One for me, one for my daughter, one for a friend, one for a birthday present.... Gotta reward great work like this! Maybe if we're really lucky, they'll make some more. :-D
