Firefly: "The Outage", the episode where Mal faces solitude
A drifting ship, a few hours of oxygen and a captain who refuses to give up.
Firefly aired 24 years ago the episode The Outage, where Malcolm Reynolds finds himself alone fighting to survive aboard Serenity. A mechanical failure triggers an explosion, the engine shuts down and vital systems stop. Mal evacuates his companions into the two shuttles, then stays in the corridors, wounded, hoping a ship will pick up the distress signal. The episode, written by Tim Minear and directed by David Solomon, shows the fragility of the usually bickering and meal-sharing vessel. Broadcast on 25 October 2002 in the United States, it now holds the eighth place in the narrative order offered on Disney+ - according to AlloCiné - despite its original placement in fifth position on Fox.
