The end of Heart of Gold...(well actully the whole ep. just for all the Inara and Mal not getting it! and the whole Zoe/Wash talk about a baby....but the end, between Mal and Inara when she says shes leaveing...Mal's face. I love the subtle shift in his expression...after you pick your jaw off the floor, you yell at the TV and want them to just make out right there on the catwalk...C'mon, I know I'm not the only one...

I'm not the type that get teary-eyed at the sad moments. I'm most vulnerable to the moments where everything is finally right, and all of the trials and tension are gone. Like when George Bailey's friends and neighbours rally to give hime the money he needs in "It's a Wonderful Life".
I have one of those momentes towards the end of OiS with the exchange as River returns to Serenity.

MAL
You know, you ain't quite right.

RIVER
It's the popular theory.

MAL
Go on. Get in there. Give your brother
a thrashing for messing up your plan.

RIVER
He takes so much looking after.

Humour as a relief gets me everytime. Plus it's with that exchange that I think the relationship between Mal and River is solidified for good.

Laugh while you can, monkey-boy.

hello folks, this will be my first post here so be gentle haha.
all of these moments are just great but one moment that got me and i haven't seen on here is in "trash" when Saffron breaks down in the shuttle with Mal.
even though i knew she was bad i always hoped that maybe Mal would get through to her and maybe she would change but then she reverts back into the old Saffron.

I love that Jayne keeps vigil while Kaylee is being operated on in the pilot. That big lug actually cares about someone other than himself.

I'm not sure what exactly you are referring to. When does Mal talk at the end of the show? IIRC, the ending consists of the recording playing again.

I just love the "light it" scene between Simon and River.

It's a real burden being right so often.

Bearing in mind that I saw the BDM before the series so wasn't nearly as emotionally involved with the characters then as I am now (and as I'm British I've not got the DVD yet; one month today, guys!), here goes:

Inara crying in Heart of Gold - I actually cried with her at that point - and the scene between her and Mal at the end, on Serenity, when she's so afraid of or unwilling to hear what he's trying to tell her.

River's speech in Objects in Space about how much easier everyone's lives would be if she wasn't around. Again, I got weepy at that one, but only on the second viewing. It's everyone else's reactions at that point that are so crucial.

Inara frantically kissing Mal in Our Mrs Reynolds (though I knew it would have taken a large twist of logic to kill him at that point).

Simon trying to sacrifice himself alongside River in Safe, and Mal and Zoe walking out of the smoke. The rescue gets me as much as the sibling devotion.

Five successive moments in War Stories - Wash trying to tell Zoe to run from Niska, Zoe instantly picking him to rescue over Mal, Mal making faces at the pair of them to let them know he thinks she's made the right choice and should just get out, Wash hiding away in tears when Mal's ear gets cut off, and Zoe comforting him in the shuttle just before his Big Damn Hero moment.

Mal throughout Out of Gas. Everything from not needing Jayne's proffered space suit to resolutely not kissing Inara. In an episode that was based on flashbacks and, the direction suggests, hallucinations produced by blood loss, I think that in the last scene Mal wasn't even sure if he was dreaming again - that he'd conjured up the memory of these people who meant as much to him as Serenity. Very touching...

You just named everyone of my heart string moments...especially Inara crying in HoG.

Keep the fire alive on your side of the pond...and we'll do the same. We WILL see more heartfelt moments with the BDHs.

We will hold...we hold till Mal gets back.

Well, all of you have quite hit the top spots, so I won't be really adding anything new.

Anyway, one scene that gives me goosebumps, which I'm not sure anyone has pointed out specifically, is Jubal Early threatening Kaylee (The whole episode was fertile in pulling my heart strings, but that particular scene touched me more than the others). Geez, I just get this feeling to go and beat the s**t out of that bounty hunter. The desperate look on Kaylee's face just gives me chills, especially when the tears come down on her face.

Yeah, I know I'll probably be outed as the Ice Queen I am for this, but one of the parts that really gets me is in "Ariel" when Jayne tells Mal to make something up about why he was dead.

I mean, here's this guy who showed -- through several little facial tics and awkward body language -- how guilty he felt about the whole mess throughout the episode. But up until that moment, he hadn't shown that he actually cared what the rest of the crew thought about him. Their OPINION of him.

He'd shown guilt because he knew he wasn't quite righteous, sure...but I think he hadn't really realized the consequences until then. He hadn't realized that maybe getting pinched by the Feds wasn't the worst thing that could happen as a result. Even DYING wasn't the worst case scenario.

The idea of the others thinking of him as a traitor, though...that he just couldn't live with. Or die with, if you prefer.

And that crucial forethought is the only thing that saved him, I have no doubt. Mal's face clears that right up.

THAT gets my heartstrings. That and they exchange between Mal and Jayne in the BDM when Mal goes, "Tell me you brought 'em this time" and Jayne just grins and pulls out a grenade.

*chokes, gasps* It just GETS me, man. *wipes a tear*
