It was the first aired episode because it was re-designed to draw in initial viewers. You can use the Pilot and "Out of Gas" as explanatory episodes for looking back at the origins. And Camilla is right about "Out of Gas", it's funnier when you already know the characters as they are now.
Which episode of Firefly would you use to hook someone?

See, I think "Out of Gas" works much better as an introduction to the characters.

Train Job. The pilot is longer and slower to develop, from what I recall.

the pilot is pretty great, agree that shindig or train job or out of gas could also be used

"Out of Gas" may be the best episode of any TV show ever.
