Actually, SciFi's going to air them soon, right?
I think the unaired episodes fell under the two-weeks-following-DVD-release policy.

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.

Oh, right! I'd forgotten! Yay!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Trash -- makes no sense, clunky plotting, but reasonably fun.
Message -- makes less than no sense, uneven plotting, "fun" in the dramatic tragedy while being witty sense.
HOG -- makes no sense, clunky plotting, no fun at all, and that's before you get to the parts that inspire dark plans of kidnapping and forced re-education.
For some reason, the making no sense thing is standing out, here. Still and all, catch me in the right mood and sense-making isn't always the priority.

I forget how many weeks the following-DVD-release policy is, but however many weeks it is has long since passed. So, yeah, they're fair game.

You know what it was, was ita's "one is okay the other not" post, which once I went back and looked at it clearly meant unaired eps is okay, movie is not, but because of the setup of the sentence I thought...
Yeah, you can just ignore me.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Of the unaireds, Trash is my favorite, though I do like HoG, despite the main villain being obnoxious. I've already discussed how much I dislike The Message.

The only thing I disliked about The Message was them not letting Tracey in on the plan, which would've saved him. Felt a little deus ex for the sake of revealing his treacherousness ("treachery" sounds too highflown here) and keeping him from becoming a cast member, which was just about where it was headed. Otherwise, I got no beef. I liked Womack scene-chewy. Good counterpoint to Tracey's very deliberate ingratiating smarm.

I suspect it was intended as a "explaining later, running away now" type of situation, but it didn't quite work properly. Also, we might take it as proof that Tracy is too dumb to live, since who bothers to perform a stealthy escape if the plan all along is to surrender? But that didn't occur to him.
Just like, he had his visceral organs cut out, on a crook's shoddy promise that he would get them back some day.
Like I said, too dumb to live. I only hope they didn't transplant his brain into anybody.

I'm more surprised that no one had a bone to pick about "The Message" being the third occurrence of "Simon pisses off Kaylee by saying something without thinking first but everything's more or less okay by the end of the episode." I mean, I kind of like it as a recurring theme because it emphasizes that Simon, while smart and pretty and civilized, lacks useful social skills, but I was expecting someone to be annoyed by the repetition.
