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).
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
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.

Art Crawl!!!
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 .

Hey. New board.
I have to vote for Serenity and Objects in Space. If you caught Serenity, then just OiS will probably do you. It's probably the episode most crucial to the main plot of the film. Plus, I really like it (it's my favorite episode).

I look more rad than Lutheranism
So -- Heart of Gold, then?
(Hec, thanks, but I've seen the ones that aired, so I've seen all those.)
t edit (And Gris, thanks, but I *have* seen the ones that aired, so I've seen Serenity, OiS, etc.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is the whitefonted stuff about the movie, or the unaired eps? One I don't mind reading, the other isn't supposed to be here.

Hey. New board.
See, I just don't know which ones aired. =) If the unaired eps are Heart of Gold, Trash, and The Message then, um...
I'd say you don't actually NEED to see any of those. Trash is my favorite of the three. The Message and Heart of Gold are my least favorite eps of the series, which many I think would agree with.
ETA: And if you already don't like the Westerny parts of the show, then you'll HATE HoG. Probably.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The Gris warns well, Tep. HoG is one of the most yee-haw episodes there is. Lots of riding horses and nasty varmints. But it does have important character development that I imagine will have to be touched on in the movie, so.

Hey. New board.
"Yee-haw" is now, officially, my favorite adjective.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ita, it's about the eps.
