To be fair, Fox decided that they didn't want to run the pilot as the
pilot.  They wanted something action-packed.  The original pilot,
"Serenity" (not the same as the movie) became a 2-part episode where
everyone got introduced.  The Fox-style pilot, The Train Job, was
written in a weekend.  It's not the most shining episode in the lot.

Some of the other episodes are better than others, and some are far
better once you're familiar with the preceeding episodes.

Of course, if you don't like Westerns in Space (tm), you're not going to
like it anyway.  :-)
