Sadly, we’ve reached the last episode of Firefly, and sadly, it’s quite terrible. “Objects in Space” is little more than excuse for Joss Whedon to share his thoughts on existentialism with us, and well, that’s about as edifying as it sounds. iTunes RSS
We’re nearing the end of Firefly, which means it’s time for something dramatic to happen, and boy does it in “Heart of Gold”. Also there’s a gunfight, but that’s old hat by now. iTunes RSS
After a string of great episodes, Firefly gives us “The Message”, which apparently is: don’t let Joss Whedon write episodes of the show. iTunes RSS

Marital trouble spills over into actual trouble in “War Stories”, as Mal and Wash are captured by an old adversary. Meanwhile, Inara shocks everyone by taking a female client. Oh, 2002. Were we ever that naive? iTunes RSS
In “Ariel”, Mal decides that enough is enough after River stabs Jayne and demands that Simon do something about her. So the good doctor comes up with crime. About time he pulled his weight, don’t you think? iTunes RSS

Jayne has been a bit of a condundrum so far on Firefly, but in “Jaynestown”, we learn a bit more about his illustrious past and what makes him tick. Turns out, it’s money. Okay, that wasn’t that much of a surprise. iTunes RSS
The Serenity gets a surprise visitor in “Our Mrs. Reynolds”, and she’s not as friendly as she first appears. But never fret, because Inara saves the day. Sort of. Plus! Is Christina Hendricks just the best, or what? iTunes RSS
