My favorite romantic moment was in OIS, when River comes in on Simon and Kaylee talking on the couch. You get a sense that all the awkwardness between them and the formality is stripped away, and they're acting like they're on a first date. And that one shot where Kaylee touches him with her bare foot, and Simon says "There were no Feds....not until I started singing." That look on his face as he says that shows that under the right circumstances, our Dr. Tam can indeed be a smooth operator.

It's a nice romantic moment, which is only interrupted when River sees what's he's thinking and the happy couple is stone faced.

And wow! Hey! What's this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like ... ow ... ound ... round ... ground! That's it! That's a good name - ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me?

At the beginning of OiS, when River is walking through the ship; as she approaches the cockpit where Wash and Zoe are kissing, she is overwhelmed by the deep emotions they're giving off and has to back away...

Also, Wash and Zoe in bed when Wash gives the "...all corpsified and gross..." speech. Unike the other "couples" on board, they are so comfortable and at ease with each other. I just thought they were such a perfect married couple right then.

Apathy on the Rise. No One Cares.

Maybe this doesn't quite qualify as "romantic," but in "Heart of Gold," I think there's something rather touching to the scene when Jayne is sitting with that prostitute and braiding her hair. Like, the life he leads, when does he get the chance to braid a girl's hair?

There's something sweet and sad to that, I think.

Also, in "Our Mrs. Reynolds," when Inara thinks Mal has figured out that she kissed him...damn Mal for screwing THAT up!

Kaylee and the strawberry.

For some reason I had a new appreciation (and craving) for the red berrys.

Thank god she didn't prefer cherries, I'm allergic to 'em.

There's a moment in 'bushwhacked' when Inara is kind of complimenting Mal after he decides that those bodies can get a proper funeral. It's so beautifully done - his eyes soften just a little as she begins speaking, then when she's done they're empty again. It's like that exchange reminds him of the huge gulf between them.



Yeah, I *loved* that moment. Most serious moments between those two are really strong. Major nonverbals. I also always liked the two ones Shewhohathapen mentioned, like with Simon staring at Kayley in the "alien" booth. That was so sweet and he was just adorable. Then the next scene has Mal telling Inara he just "doesn't want her in the way of trouble".

When Jayne looks down at his gun and says admiringly, "SO DOES THIS! I call it Vera!"

That was pure love!

My husband is quite fond of Saffron's little piece about furrows and plows and such.
Men!

I think my favorite is in Shindig: (paraphrasing)

ZOE: I like a dress with some slink.
WASH: You want a slinky dress? I'll buy you a slinky dress! Cap'n, can I have money for a slinky dress?

or in Bushwacked : (again, paraphrasing)

WASH: Have you ever been with a warrior woman?

I love it when couples are still that into each other! :)

Why limit this to romance between a man and a woman. How about a woman and her engines?

Kaylee caressing the ship: "That's my girl..."

Very touching!

You must have missed the three people above you who didn't.

Keep the Shiny Side Up . . . (wutzon) Stones, "Love In Vain", from "Let It Bleed"
