I have got to say that big one-er at the end of Objects in Space, where everybody gets a part and each person is so TOTALLY themself. Starting with Wash assisting Zoe with his bit of humor, Zoe being strong and funny, Simon being gentle and funny. Then Mal and Inara, both caring, obviously alot, for each other and being unable to handle it, then the exchange between Book and Jayne, where they are just so funny, and then Kaylee being Kaylee and playing with little River, who is quiet and strange. Oh, such a great "last" scene.

I forgot a couple of scenes that I like: It's the flashback scene in Out of Gas when Mal shows Zoe Serenity for the first time. I love the conversation and the interaction of those 2 characters.

Another scene that I like is when Mal, Zoe, and Jayne are in the bar on Unification Day and the fight breaks out. Then Wash shows up with Serenity.

One of the most defining scenes of the series I think is at the end of Out of Gas when we see Mal's face after he first sees the Firefly class vessel in the sale yard and is hearing the voices of the current time's crew. This is such a beautifully put together scene and it never loses its tone.

Sets the tone for several things, which is especially nice given that it took place in the pilot (yeah, I know, I know, but this was the pilot episode to the world): We see a lot about Jayne's character and how the crew perceives him, and we see for the first time that Simon has some tricks up his sleeve, too. Plus, Adam Baldwin nails it.

The part I like best about this scene is after Jayne falls down, Wash rests his foot on Jayne's back!! Someone else pointed this out many moons ago and now I can't NOT see it. It is hi-larious, the fact that Wash is so comfortable doing that---knowing Jayne can't do anything about it.

Mal-licious

Tough call; I can't decide between three.
1) Your favourite, final scene of the Message, & the series, for all the same reasons you mention.
2) KayleeFrye's favourite, tracking shot @end of Objects In Space, for almost all of her reasons (though I don't think of it as the last scene of the series) plus, as Inara goes from the infirmary to the cargo hold, everything is in focus, from her (couple of feet from camera) to the end of the hold (sixty or seventy feet away). I hope the BDM's cinematographer can do as well as David Boyd.
3) The scene @the beginning of the pilot, wherein Serenity moves away from the freighter they were salvaging & blasts off, in utter silence & ideal motion. This show was going to act as if it was actually happening in space, rather than just saying "space" but looking & sounding as if it was happening in an atmosphere.
