(Recorded on August 11, 2024) This week we’re digging into episode eight of Firefly, “Out of Gas.” This is the episode that we have been waiting for—the episode that makes us go, “okay, we can see why people would like this show.” The title is misleading, because it’s not gas they’re running out of, it’s oxygen. And the clock is ticking! The cataly…
