I too love the scene when River comes out of the box, and his hugging Simon. There is just something so artisticly beautiful about that scene. Also almost all of River's lines in Objects in space, More specificly, when she says "I'll be your bounty Juble Early, and I'll just fade away", But in the Movie Just before River Goes out to fight all the Reavers, she talks to Simon. I don't remember exactly what she says but I love it. Well I guess who you can see is one of my favourite characters lol. Another touching thing, is Kaylee as a whole. When ever she has those really hurt looks, like in shindig when the girls say her dress is ugly, I fell so bad. Now there is alot more but I don't want to go on forever

The Message Episode is quite sad and always makes me cry.

Also in OiS WHen River is saying how she isn't wanted and offers to do with Juble.

BUt also there is one poingant moment that I can remember clearly from the movie Serenity. It's when River says to Simon "You took care of me, now it's my turn". How Sweet is that?

Yes, it's the turning point of the movie for me. To be a bit more exact...

Simon: River, I'm sorry. I hate to leave...
River: No. No. You won't. You take care of me, Simon. You've always taken care of me.
...My turn.

Ain't about you, Jayne. It's about what they need.

The really "dramatic" stuff is very good (and don't ya know I fall for it and that's OK...anyone got a problem, see Jayne), but at the end of "Safe" when Simon is escorting River to the dining room. Dishes of food are being passed around...Simon pulls out Kaylee's chair for her...River stealing a roll off Jayne's plate...everyone's Home...they all know they belong here and it's that rare peace that they know they all care about each other and hold a sort of truce over a simple meal....
Reminds me of meals with my own friends (thought we're not armed or as antagonistic)...feels like a family.
What do you folks think?

I agree I like that scene, Yeah I like when River takes Jaynes roll, and then he tries to get another from Zoe, Yeah that really does make it feel like a family, which is possibly one of the main attractions about this show

Still new to the series so I'm I will come up with more however you guys have touched on many of the ones I could think of. :)


"War Stories:" As Zoe and Wash are walking away from the tourture room and and Mal screams as Niska's guys close the door...*chills* you feel for Mal cause he left behind and then for Zoe for haveing to choose and leave him there. I loved in the commentary too how Alan said that that scene was really hard to do for that reason.

Also, his "real me" line from that ep. ...woooo Oh and his look in Serenity: The Pilot when the Alliance ships are landing, but I think thats been said already :)

All of these... and the bit in Heart of Gold when Inara is saying something along the lines of 'this something I should of done a long time ago,' and you think it will be some romantic gesture to Mal, and she says, "I'm leaving." The look on Mal's face...

And maybe its because I'm new to the series (seen all episodes once except Objecst in Space - I'm watching it tonight), but the theme song really chokes me up right now. At first my country music phobia didn't allow me to pay attention to it, but after a while... I love it.

oh boy, this thread is just making me so sad. anyway, these have all been mentioned already but...
-Practically anything River says as Serenity in OiS: "I'll just fade away" and "So she melted...melted away"
-"Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did"
-"Everybody's so mad"
-Rivers monologue in War Stories: "I work... i function like I'm a girl... I hate it because i know it'll go away"
-The scene in BDM whn they have to lock up River: "I don't know what I'm saying... I never know what I'm saying."
and i know there's more, but i just can't quite

How about in the BDM when we pull back from Serenity's name on the ship and swing around as its entering atmo?...and with that music. :)

Even though I'm new to the 'verse that is such a triumphant sequence to me. They are still flyin, you know. It pulls at the heart strings in a good sort of way. I sort of see it as pheonix imagery...I could be digging way to deep on that one though.

The part that always tugs at me is in the pilot. When Mal looks over the rock and sees the Alliance ships coming in. You know at that moment that his whole world just fell apart and he will never be the same. We see glimpses sometimes, but it makes you wonder what he was like before that moment.
