On the second episode of Tuning In, we continue our 15-podcast look at Firefly by talking about “The Train Job”. This second pilot is both less successful and more successful than “Serenity”. Find out how by listening now!
Tuning In Episode 2: Firefly, The Train Job
Lev
-I actually did see this episode when it first aired. It was on in the background while I was doing stuff, and my reaction at the time was, that was kind of funny, and I never tuned in again. Then a few years later I bought the DVDs and lo and behold, there it was again. Interesting that it was written in two days–it does seem a little middle of the road in the way that the show generally isn’t, and that does explain it.

-Agreed! I mean it’s possible that the episode existed in some form and the two days was to shape it into a second pilot, of course.
