Firefly 1x08♡Uncut Reaction &Review ♡

As always Sofie, I LOVE your reaction! Okay Browncoats, call me a nitpicky Purple-belly for this lol... I'm not tho -- my coat is as far brown as brown goes - and I'll hear no jokes about my nose. ;P Wash navigated a new course that would take "the better part of a week" instead of "18 hours" to go where they were going, as Mal had asked him to. But when Serenity stops "dead in the water", they had been on that course for AT MOST a few hours! I think it's actually less than ONE hour... Even if it was up to six hours I don't think that would put them "out of range of anyone or anything". It's just a piddly little thing that maybe Tim didn't think through, nor did Joss catch it. I still love this episode of course; it's in my top 3 faves in fact. And Firefly has been my favorite show since I first saw it in 2011 or '12. Better late than never! You can't take the sky from me!

Loved watching you see this amazing and emotional episode. There is another beautiful story associated with Out-Of-Gas. Firefly was a labor of love, and its cancellation was devastating to many, especially Joss Whedon. I am sure by now you understand why. Alan Tudyk told a story of Joss in his office calling anybody he could to save the precious show, hoping for the impossible. Alan Tudyk walked into Joss's office with the red button from this episode, and told Joss, "When your miracle gets here, just press this button and we will all come back." And they did for the movie Serenity.

This is my favourite episode too. I love everything about it. I’m glad you loved it too. On a rewatch you will notice Kaylee mentions wanting to buy a new compression coil several times throughout the series leading up to this. Beautiful writing.

ugh love the Out of gas + Sofie combo!! best everything 💖

In the pilot episode, "Serenity", when they are looking for passengers, Mal and Kaylee have the following conversation: Kaylee: I'd sure love to find a brand new compression coil for the steamer Mal: And I'd like to be the king of all Londinum and wear a shiny hat. Just get us some passengers. Them as can pay, alright? Kaylee: Compression coil busts, we're drifting Mal: Best not bust, then. The catalyzer that broke in this episode is part of the compression coil.

This episode is amazing and is it any surprise because it was written by Angel writer Tim Minear. He left Angel in 2002 to be executive producer of Firefly. He wrote some of my favourite Angel episodes; Hero from season 1 with Doyle, Are you now or have you ever been (with all the flashbacks of the Hyperion Hotel), Darla, Reprise, Epiphany, and Home the season 4 finale, among others. He also wrote for Dollhouse which I will continue my campaign to get Sofie to react to because it is amazing.

Still tear up. This was the episode that made me a fan.

Without a doubt, this is my favorite episode. The backstory's of everyone is so good.

This episode is an incredible whirlwind of emotions. I think we've learned by now that someone celebrating a birthday in a Joss Whedon show means trouble is right around the corner. Is it just me, or did this episode feel like a season finale? Luckily we still have 6 more episodes and a movie left, but I always felt like this could have made for a perfect final episode to go out on if the circumstances were different.
