I havent seen all the TV episodes yet but one of my favorite moments is on the "Our Own Mrs. Reynolds" episode. After the fake bride sets the ship on course to get fried and has successfully tricked Malcom into kissing her, which makes him pass out from the poion on her lips. Inara finds her out and rushes to find Mal who is unconscious in his bunk and she kisses him and gets knocked out too. At the very end of the episode Mal is in Inara's shuttle and confronts her about "tripping" and knocking herself out, since that's what she told everyone that's what had happened. There standing face to face and he asks her if she really triped and knocked herself out, it seems like she is just about to confess what she really did when Mal blurts out, "You kissed her! I knew it", and walks off.
I couldnt stop laughing what a classic moment, and it shows how Mal and Inara's relationship works so well.

When Serenity does a hard burn in atmo,
Jayne gives a rebel yell. It sums what
the whole crew is feeling at that moment.

I love firefly and the touchy feely moments do get me but I love Joss's comedy style and the timing of the cast. That being said I think my favorite moment would be the sequence in OIS about River being a "witch":

Mal: "But she does have an oddness to her.
And I ain't just talking about her proficiency with firearms. Girl knows things. Things she shouldn't. Things she couldn't."

Jayne : "Wha-...are you-are you sayin' she's a witch?"

Wash: "Yes, Jayne. She's a witch. She has had congress with the beast."

Jayne: "She's in Congress?"

Wash: "How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious."

I literally laughed out loud when I saw this exchange, and its rare that I do that watching a TV show alone in my room. But firefly has done that to me on various occasions so all in all I think this moment was my favorite.

They isn't hardly a scene/moment I DON'T love.. but if I HAD to choose one.. It would be the end of Shindig where Inara offers to sacrafice herself to save Mal's life. I don't believe it was a distraction tactic.. I believe she really did mean to sacrafice her future if it would save Mal's life. I am suprised that Mal made no mention of it and question Inara of it later.

But that moment... and Athertan's threat to Inara would have to be my favorite scene, because it's more than JUST what the scene was itself.. but what I can see from it possibly at a future point.. a tragic but beautiful way to eventually bring Mal and Inara together.

Well my favorite part in the show was in "War Stories" when River takes the gun from Kaylee and shoots the bad guys.

My favorite part in the movie is, of course, the "My turn" part. Gets you all misty-eyed. Just awesome.

Mal would kick Han Solo's ass.

Oh how evil to just ask for ONE. Oh man, I really tried to give this some thought and if I can pick ONLY ONE moment (moment being a short span of time) then I'll have to say the My Turn speech. "Yall gonna be here when I wake up" was a close second. And I was tempted to say drunk Simon and Kaylee in Jaynestown but all the emotion packed into the MY TURN moment just pulls my heart right out of my chest.

PS *mutters* can't believe...only one...geez

"See this is another sign of your tragic space dementia, all paranoid and crochety. Breaks the heart." -Mal

No contest. (Surprisingly, perhaps).

Heart Of Gold, the morning after. Inara in tears. There's a moment where she almost, almost, pulls herself together, and then loses it again.

Morena Baccarin can ACT.

Maybe I'll peek back in with an overall favorite moment, but I had to respond to this with a resounding, "Yes she can!"

It's certain that my favorite Inara moment also comes in Heart of Gold. It's just after Nandie is killed and Mal bursts in the room. Inara looks up at him and her face slowly transforms from sadness and mourning to, "Make him pay." Perfection. Sheer perfection.

In the movie, my absolute favourite -look- is when the Op sneaks past Universe's dead body, and Lenore says "Mal."

The look on the Operative's face when he turns around. That gleam in his eyes when she says, "Guy killed me Mal."

Hysterical. Something so subtle about it. Heheh.

It's not my top for the series, nor is my favourite -scene- from the movie.
But as for physical acting, I love it.

my favorite moment in the movie is in jaynestown:

jayne's line:

now let's get away from this eerie-ass statue and continue with our increasingly eerie-ass day

and jayne's clear discomfort being completely and utterly ignored by the rest of the crew, who are still staring at the statue of him
