Storyline

- TriviaThe red button Wash rigs to call the shuttles back and return the crew to Serenity was removed from the set on one of the last days of filming by Alan Tudyk, as by that time the cast and crew knew they were being canceled. Scenes on the bridge for Out of Gas (2002) were filmed the next day, and the button is noticeably absent. Alan then mailed the button to series creator Joss Whedon, with a note saying "When you get your miracle, just hit this" (quoting Wash's line). Whedon was hoping to revive the series, which he did, in the form of the film Serenity (2005).

- Alternate versionsThe intended order differs from the released order with the 2-hour pilot 'Serenity' and the season finale 'Objects in Space' being released in the middle of the show run. The true order appears on all modern media releases and is as follows - Serenity, The Train Job, Bushwacked, Shindig, Safe, Our Mrs. Reynolds, Jaynestown, Out of Gas, Ariel, War Stories, Trash, The Message, Heart of Gold, and Objects in Space.

Featured review
Nothing equals this, nothing.
I'm right there with Mr Fusion.
It's not just the best episode of Firefly, it's one of the best episodes of anything, anywhere. The depth of the characters created prior to this in the series only sets you up for this truly emotional and bonding episode. Not giving anything away but the ending will probably give you goosebumps.
