 Whedonesque : Comments on 7585 : Tonight's Firefly episode on SciFi - 'Shindig'. (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
I was not fond of this episode the first time I watched it, but now that I've seen it 15 times or so (that goes for all the eps'), it has grown on me. I love Kaylee talking shop with the rich guys, River's little talk with Badger and of course Mal...
OOG and OIS are also my favorites, but it was Shindig that hooked me on the series as I watched the episodes sequentially on the DVDs for the first time (never saw the show on broadcast TV).
Shindig is definitely one of my favourites - but then I love everything JE wrote for Joss.

Trivia: In the episode "Shindig", as the crew begin to wander through the streets of Persephone, a ship with an oval front section followed by two square sections lands in the background.
Shindig is a great episode because it's upbeat and amusing, without getting dark or "series-plot" heavy.
As any Firefly fan I'm sure I could rant on for hours about my love of the series, but I figure 2 minutes is long enough.

'“Shindig” is the Gone With the Wind of Firefly episodes.
It is actually a refreshing change in scenery after the poverty we have seen in other episodes.
River's accent is usually very neutral, so this may well be an audible cue in future episodes as to when she's skimming someone's mind - just keep an ear out for her switching accents and using words she normally wouldn't use...

The episode is peppered with flashbacks from Simon and River’s history (shown from Simon’s point of view), and it’s nice to see some of the history of these characters.
“Shindig” is the episode that I tend to use to introduce people to Firefly; because there’s some focus on Kaylee, it is one of my favorite episodes.
In the pilot episode, “Serenity”;, after the woman to whom he’s trying to sell salvaged goods tries to kill him rather than parting with money she doesn’t have to, Malcolm takes her money but leaves her alive (and, apparently, with the salvaged foodstuffs).

Firefly has become my favourite TV series, and that's saying a lot because I could count on one hand the number of series I like.
Firefly was so hard to just pin down to one genre, that it is almost impossible to describe to somebody who hasn't watched it.
I had only seen bits of episodes when the show was originally aired and had to wait for this DVD release to see the whole thing.

 Firefly - The Firefly and Serenity Database
Firefly was promoted as an action-comedy rather than the more serious character study it was intended to be; episodes were occasionally preempted for sporting events, and the episodes were not aired in the order that the creators had intended.
Most notably, the two-hour episode "Serenity" was intended to be the pilot episode, as it contains most of the character introductions and back-story.
However, FOX decided that Serenity was not a suitable pilot, and so the second episode, "The Train Job", was rushed into production to become the pilot episode.

As Whedon points out on the episode's DVD commentary, Early, having secretly assessed the crew from their conversations, takes down Shepherd Book the same way he handles ex-soldier Mal — quickly and brutally — providing another tantalizing hint of the preacher's hidden nature.
According to Joss Whedon on this episode's DVD commentary, the inspiration for the episode was drawn from the existential novel Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre and much of the dialogue between River and Jubal is a tribute to Whedon's admiration for this book.
As Joss Whedon explains in the DVD commentary, the inspiration for this episode came from Tim Minear, who gave Whedon the idea by merely mentioning Boba Fett (albeit mispronounced).

 SF Signal: REVIEW: Finding Serenity edited by Jane Espenson
Espenson provides brief intros to each essay and would have done well to include a conspicuously missing brief episode guide to summarize the episodes since they are referenced in every essay.
Author Lawrence Watt-Evans' essay title, "The Heirs of Sawney Beane", is a reference to the Reavers in the Firefly universe, a band of human-descended cannibals who, much like the legend of Sawney Beane, relied on cannibalism as a way to survive.
While DeCandido is a bit harsh on the episode, he cites Fox naiveté as the reason.
