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.
