Ever. Having recently seen all the episodes *in order* on dvd, I may just have to agree that dramatically, yes, 'OOG' was excellent. For grins and giggles though, a first timer should watch "Our Mrs. Reynolds" and then the follow up "Trash" where one gets to see Nathan Fillion naked (no pixelation on the dvd!) several times. :-) Very funny episodes. Another good episode is the "Objects in Space" episode. And another one is "The Message". And another one is "War Stories", with the most incredibly funny torture scene I have ever witnessed. And another good one is...oh, heck, go get the dvd and just watch the whole big darn series (only 15 episodes). You won't be sorry. :-) Oh, and go see "Serenity" too!! You'll be glad you did!
