'Not Fade Away'
Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.
X-posted with Beep Me--I have an extra Serenity ticket for Thursday's screening in Chicago! If anyone is interested, let me know at the profile addy.
Some friends can't make it after all, so I have three extra Charlotte tickets available. Email me at my username @ gmail.com please.
Okay, people. I'm going to see the movie tomorrow. I also have not yet watched the unaired episodes, though I *do* have them on my laptop.
So. People who have seen the movie: of the unaired episodes, is there one in particular you'd recommend that I ought to watch before I see the movie?

Serenity (the pilot) because it sets up all the relationships.
or, Out of Gas because it's so good (and nonWesterny) and also does some backstory.
or, Objects In Space because it's so good (and nonWesterny) and establishes a few things that are useful for getting the movie.
Unaired.
(I'm in the same boat.)
Of the unaireds, Heart of Gold has the most "arc"-y plot. Trash, is, however, quite argueably, the best of the three.
The episode with the terrifying space monkeys, as they play a pivotal role in the movie.
Pay especially close attention to space monkey #3 (the one with the fez).
What tianxiaode said. Heart of Gold is my least favorite ep, but it does have some important character development. Trash is the best one though.
There is some important stuff in the Message too (re: Simon/Kaylee )
I would say that in Heart of Gold the important stuff is Mal/Inara and a bit of Wash/Zoe .
