Well, what did everyone think? Personally, I thought it made a great pilot episode. I don't know why the Fox executives "bumped" it further down the season. (I had heard they didn't think it had enough explosions or something.) Of course, by not showing the episodes in order, it kind of ruined the whole "one of the crew members is a mole for the Alliance" plotline for any viewer who's seen at least one other episode of the show.
One thing that finally "clicked into place" for me was why Serenity is a "firefly" class ship: this episode showed the whole back of the ship lighting up when it first thrust away from the derelict vessel. I either must never have noticed that before in other episodes, or it wasn't really shown before/since.
Opinions?
