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

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
good luck!

good luck!

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.

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

Agreed... one of the greatest TV episodes that I've ever witnessed if not the best.
