While this was the 11th, and final episode aired in the initial run of the show on Fox in 2002, it was intended to be the 1st and pilot episode. It introduces all of the core characters, and it does so quite well.
As we may have people who have never watched the series joining us, please keep conversations limited to this episode.
For anyone who doesn't speak Mandarin here is a site I used to use to figure out what the hell they were saying:

Thank you for sharing, that website’s very interesting!
I suspect it could also be useful to Mandarin speakers. I’m no expert — studied it for a year in high school — but from what I remember, I wouldn’t be surprised if, one time out of two, the line is mostly unintelligible to a native speaker.
Hey that's cool, I had always wondered!
