I just noticed when playing the preview for next weeks episode (ROE) on the SFC site they list it as episode #106.

That's bizarre. It flies against what was said in the press release a few months ago. I'll have to check it out.

Feather was not a stronger episode, it was throwing you into the middle of the series without explaining much of anything. There's a reason Storm Front was going to be the premiere, and two hours. It was the first book in the series, so I imagine it would have done what any good series premiere would, which was to set the stage, explain the basics, and open the world of the show to the viewer. You'd think the network execs would have figured out after Firefly that it doesn't work to pick a "stronger" episode from the middle of the season, and show it first, completely out of context, chronological and otherwise.

It seems Sciffy just didn't learn from the FOX fiasco. I wish they would have! I am enjoying the show though.

Here's what I realized recently. While the first two episodes weren't nearly as strong as the third, they did the heavy lifting necessary for us to understand who the core characters of the series are and what they do.
The third episode, Hair of a Dog, was very strong by comparison -- and that strength was in part because it didn't have to stop to explain itself. It benefitted from those first two episodes, even if those two meant the series didn't open as strong as it could have.
I'm getting pretty happy with the show's order of things when I think about this.
BigMama:
There is also a feeling of escalating tension. The magic seems to be more complex and the characterizations a bit more intense.
