The Train Job

The Dvd box set of this show and wiki, indicates that this is episode 2, not 1 as stated. While this may have been aired first, it was not intended to be the first episode. If you wish to watch the series in order, imdb episode 11 (Serenity) is the first episode. Would be nice if imdb could update the series order to the correct listing.

The show is great and its a shame it didn't get another few seasons. The film Serenity at least brings some closure. The show makes more sense when viewed in the correct order.

The Pilot was confusing and without explanations AT all. In " the train job " everything is explain in the 30 seconds intro, and the first 12-13 minutes are there to introduce the characters , something the Pilot Never did.

This episode was decent enough, a good 8/10 , but people need to seriously calm down, nothing in it is great or masterpiece level, it is just an average TV episode, like an episode of criminals minds or an episode of Buffy, good TV but not like Legendary shows quality ( breaking Bad.. x files , sopranos) So when i read all the 10/10 reviews its weird and funny at the same time... I dont really understand, the acting is fine but not at all brillant, plot is basic like in a good cop show you watch on sunday with your dad. Directing is basic. A show like this is 7/10 on IMDb usualy, i Hope im wrong with the next episodes but I dont think so. Its a good show to watch in the afternoon.

OK, this show Firefly was a great show that got screwed over by fox. Premiting show times, moving show times, and most important not showing the pilot first. Train job was the first aired. This is out of sequence. Serenity pilot should have been the first aired. So fox who didn't like the pilot wanted a more A team approach so this was written in literally in a weekend. Its still a quality job done by the firefly boys. A western railroad train heist in the spirit of Ole Jesse James Gang except ya have a space ship coming down on a hyper train riding on air in arid type planet of the future. The crew of Serenity on the wrong side of the law perform a heist on a train in military fashion. With a sheriff who is fair and extremely upset that what is stolen is medicine for his small mining town. The crew of the firefly transport working for a gangster are remorseful and give it back. But now the motley crew has to deal with the gangster's hench men.

I can't imagine these two genres coming together, in fact the western soundtrack is already hacking me off.

Mal and his crew are hired by the dangerous criminal Adelai Niska to heist two packages from a train for him. He goes with Zoe and they find an Alliance troop in the train, but they succeed and Jayne takes the cargo to Serenity. However Mal and Zoe have to stay in the train and Sheriff Bourne investigates the robbery. Soon they learn that the stolen cargoes are medical supplies for the mining settlers that need them; otherwise they will die. Mal and Zoe reevaluate the heist and come up to a decision.

"The Train Job" is a full of action episode of "Firefly". The cynical Mal proves that has heart with his final decision. The funniest moment of the show is when Crow tells that will hunt Mal down to hell. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): Not Available.
