the pilot is pretty great, agree that shindig or train job or out of gas could also be used temeraire Send a noteboard - 11/03/2010 05:03:38 PM
however, out of gas has a lot of dead time. train job has a lot of unanswered questions which could be good for a curious watcher... shindig is neat for the exploration of culture in their planets, and is a pretty comprehensive introduction to everyone... the pilot of course is designed to be that introductory one, but, my bf thought it was stupid and it did not work at all to hook him! so you have to have someone who can accept cowboys in space and typical whedonverse stuff without much sarcasm :P

good luck! :)

Train Job. The pilot is longer and slower to develop, from what I recall. Zalis - 10/03/2010 02:39:08 PM 624 Views
Train Job, for sure. TaskmasterJack - 10/03/2010 04:58:41 PM 554 Views
I think you need to start with the pilot and skip the Train Job Mark - 10/03/2010 04:59:50 PM 682 Views
