I LOVE that! I also love Jayne's grabbing the air(or sparkly dots in his view) and then fallling and all their expressions.

I love Kaylee's expression in The Message when she and Tracy are in her bunk and then he leaves.

I love Inara's expessions in Our Mrs Reynolds!in plarticular, when she discoveres Mal unconcious and then faints and realises that he kissed her...
Her expression when she is propped up on Mal's bunk and she tells Simon she doesn't need to be examined.
and the one at the end, when Mal says she let Saffron kiss her.

"Yes sir..Captain Tightpants"

"Also, I can kill you with my brain"

I forget if it has been mentioned or not, but I love River's faces and Inara and Simon's reaction expressions to whatever she says, is the scene in Heart of Gold when they are helping the pregnant girl.
I also love Zoe's face after Mal gets all worked up and starts freaking out cause Pedaline goes into labor...so funny

I also love Simon's faces in Objects in Space when he is on the bridge with Early.

I don't know if this has been mentioned...

After many sittings, I found a gem moment in Trash. When Yosafbridge was explaining the plan to the crew at the kitchen table.

The expressions on both Wash and Kaylee as they listen, especially Kaylee's. Then Wash burst out saying "...What is she doing here???". Watching Kaylee's face changing from attentive/childlike, to laughing her head off at Wash's question, is just priceless. I don't have the words for it, just so 'real', and so funny.

yeah I LOVE that bit in Trash. I love their expressions. I also LOVE when Zoe punches her...even if I saw it coming.:P

YES! I was hoping this thread would show up again after it was mentioned in the Screen Gems podcast! I had seen it several times before but I failed to read it...

Here's some, character for character:

Mal- Anytime he cows Jayne with just a look. The look of annoyance and disbelief when he gets winged in Serenity, as well the utter look of annoyance just before he shoots Patience's horse. One more...In Safe, after Simon makes the crack about cunningly concealed cows, the way Mal smiles just before the "too much time on your hands" line

River- After she says "They're here" in Ariel, the way her mouth opens...conveys just how scary the blue hands are. In Safe, the way she's running around the store, touching everything, just like any child would do after they've been let out after being cooped up too long. All of her slow walk through the two ships in Bushwhacked.

Simon- Though his expression almost doesn't change, the little pause and shift in body language when River says "I threw up on your bed." The first time we even see Simon in his suit and sunglasses...everything about him screams danger. The look of concern and importance in his little jog towards the unconcious Book in Objects in Space.

Jayne- Of course, his reaction to the interegator in Bushwhacked. The look of shock when he figures out why he's a hero in Jaynestown. His look of disgust at having to holster his pistol in Badger's office in Serenity.

Kaylee- Her look of shock at seeing the fireball coming in Out of Gas. Her look of mock annoyance just before she says "I'm pointin' right at it" in the same episode. Any time Jewel Staite conveys hurt...as she did twice in Shindig.

Inara- The open look of longing she gives Mal at the end of Our Mrs. Reynolds. Her look of confusion and almost disappointment right after Mal's "I knew you let her kiss you" line in the same sequence. Her look of satisfaction as she closes the dumpster lid in Trash.

Zoe- How she looks utterly exhausted during the battle of Serenity Valley sequence in Serenity. How she looks unconcious in Out of Gas (Its disturbing to see Zoe in such a state.) The very subtle tension the builds up in her right before she says "I'm going to bed" in Our Mrs. Reynolds.

Book- His doubletake when River says shes fixing his bible in Jaynestown(and the fact that he calls River "Sweetheart" just before it was especially endearing.) The way he suddenly appears in the hallway preceding the Special Hell speech in Our Mrs. Reynolds. The way he zips around the corner at the end of said speech.

Wash- His gestures and body language when he's trying to get suggestions for what to do with Zoe on Ariel. The utter look of calm while escaping the Reavers in Serenity. Anytime he slaps Zoe on the butt! (So funny to me for some reason, but a very good illustration of their marriage working.)

I'll come back when I have some more!

Kaylee: "What's so damn important about being proper? It don't mean nothing out here in the black."
Simon: "It means more out here. It's all I have..."

I thought Zoe's look of "now you've done it" after Mal shoots Dobson in "Serenity", I thought was especially telling.

Kaylee: "What's so damn important about being proper? It don't mean nothing out here in the black."
Simon: "It means more out here. It's all I have..."

I changed my mind. My favourite moment is in War Stories, where Kaylee backs up the ramp into Serenity as three of Niska's men approach. @first she's unable to fire the gun she's holding, then unable to hold onto it, unable to stop them. Her face shows she is utterly broken because she can't overcome her fear even though she knows that, if they lose Serenity, they are all lost.

oh man! now you've made me all sad. Kaylee's face in that scene makes me bawl and want to go and give her a big hug!

Here's one I haven't seen mentioned yet, And it really just hit me the other day as I watched again. In the Pilot ep. Serenity when Inara returns and speaks with Kaylee. Kaylee asks about how many of them feel madly in love with her and wanted to take her away from all of this. Inara:"Just the one, I must be losing my touch."
she then turns and walks up the stairs.
Here there is a very brief shot of Mal, and the look tells it all. A very clear, "well it still works on me, if only you could tell."
