Storyline

- TriviaThe red button Wash rigs to call the shuttles back and return the crew to Serenity was removed from the set on one of the last days of filming by Alan Tudyk, as by that time the cast and crew knew they were being canceled. Scenes on the bridge for Out of Gas (2002) were filmed the next day, and the button is noticeably absent. Alan then mailed the button to series creator Joss Whedon, with a note saying "When you get your miracle, just hit this" (quoting Wash's line). Whedon was hoping to revive the series, which he did, in the form of the film Serenity (2005).

Featured review
Speaks volumes about the series itself
It'd be an understatement to call "Out of Gas" just a great "Firefly" episode; it's one of my favorite pieces of television, period. Superbly structured, it weaves together how-they-all-met scenes with harsh images of a dying Mal, dragging through Serenity and trying to get her back up and running. These are rough as hell to watch (don't give this episode a shot after a bad day at work), but they make the sentimental segments all the more touching. This episode is brimming with character, and beautifully shows the bond between a captain and his vessel.
