They didn't reinvent the wheel. I don't think this is any better than a SG1 episode.
Nothing wrong with that statement. The show DOES use almost the SAME formula. Plus I said I LIKED SG1 as do most of the sci-fi crowd on here. 
And if you don't like that comparison, you are going to love this one....
Firefly is nothing more than the A-Team in space.

I just finished episode 10. Only 4 more to go. I'm really getting sad that it will soon end. I can already tell some things will be left unanswered like the preacher's backstory and the girl. Who right now seems completely pointless besides being a plot device.
Anyway, four more episodes and the movie then it's all over.

I felt like they kind of give a nod to his unexplained back story in the movie. Maybe it's just my interpretation, and I don't want to spoil anything for you.
My opinion is that he fought for the Alliance in the war.

Wait, what?
OK, I googled it.

The Science Channel’s Browncoats Unite special airs Nov. 11 at 10 p.m. The one-hour program taped this summer in a hotel in San Diego when the cast was on hand for SDCC (and you remember how Firefly-gasmic that panel was, right?). The roundtable special, like the SDCC panel, is moderated by EW’s Jeff Jensen.

the only episode I tend to skip when I pop my DVD set in is the one where they help the brothel. I think its called Heart of Gold. Easily the worst episode IMO.
