Ok but keep in mind I'm speaking to the televised order of release.
Firefly.
They released the series out of order so the very first episode already had you deep into the story without establishing anything or anyone. Once you streamed it or watched it on dvd it made more sense. Plus the choose not to air some episodes at all which also introduced plot points and by not airing those you ruin consistency.
And I'll add, the series is fantastic and serenity was a very nice bow to the short lived series. Highly recommend if you haven't seen it.
"They", here, is fox, and not the show's creators.
I could say the same for Babylon 5. The original airing of the show was entirely out of order. One of the common things you'd notice is how every othet episode, the crew had different uniforms. They were only supposed to change uniforms once per season.
