Ahh, the Pilot Episode that Got Played Last by Fox... Wherein we meet Malcolm Reynolds and Zoe in Serenity Valley, discover how Simon Tam, River Tam, and Shepherd Book joined the crew, deal with a rogue lawman, a tricksy old lady who'd sooner shoot Mal than deal straight, cargo that don't wanna get delivered, and a persistent pack of hungry Reavers. The introduction to the 'verse. Nominated for a Hugo Award in 2003 for Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form); lost to the Buffy episode "Conversations with Dead People". Original air date: 12/20/02 Highlights
Quotes MAL: Ready? WASH: This is a Fertile land and we will thrive... WASH: I'd say worth a little risk. WASH: I can always say I was flying the ship by accident. JAYNE: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? ZOE: I know something ain't right. WASH: Just a couple of days lying around, you with the bathing. Me with the watching you bathe. MAL: And I'd like to be king of all Londinum and wear a shiny hat. KAYLEE: Compression coil busts, we're drifting... MAL: Well, maybe I'm not a fancy gentleman like you with your... very fine hat. JAYNE: I don't understand why we didn't leave that sumbitch in a pool of his own blood.

You might wanna look to that. MAL: Been a long time since Patience shot me and that was due to a perfectly legitimate conflict of interest. I got no grudge. MAL: If anyone gets nosy, just, you know... shoot 'em. JAYNE: Little Kaylee here just wishes you was a gynecologist. BOOK: brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers. MAL: This is not my best day ever. SIMON: Can you move your feet? Kaylee. Stay with me. Can you move your feet? MAL: This is over, you and me are gonna have a personal chat. MAL: Huh. SIMON: I need to check her vitals. WASH: Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue? MAL: Now you only gotta scare him. JAYNE: Was gonna get me an ear, too.

MAL: Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. MAL: I believe that woman's planning to shoot me again. JAYNE: Here's a little concept I been workin' on. Why don't we shoot her first? ZOE: Nice place for an ambush. JAYNE: Testing. Testing, Captain, can you hear me? ZOE: She still has the advantage over us. MAL: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. WASH: If everybody could just be quiet a moment... WASH: I don't mean to alarm anybody... but I think... we're being followed. ZOE: Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off. RIVER: I didn't think you'd come for me. MAL: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? MAL: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed. MAL: We're still flying.
