Ok, I will try to do a top ten list:
10)Jayne looking through the infirmary window after Kaylee has been shot
9) Mal picking River up in the BDM after Simon sent her to sleep
8)Tracey's death in The Message, when he says "Searge" and Mal answers "I am right here"
7) Inara telling Mal that she did not trip and knock her head in OMR and Mal misunderstanding.
6) The "We're still flying" scene from the pilot
5) Inara telling Mal that she is leaving in HoG
4) Mal covering himself with a blanket after the others have left in OoG
3) Kaylee asking about Wash in the BDM and Zoe's answer "He is not coming"
2) Inara crying in HoG
1) The "Will you all still be here?" scene from OoG
There are many other great emotional moments in both the series and the movie, though. I think, that is one of the reasons it is so good. You just care for the people so much after a while. I really tend to forget that they are just fictional characters. Thay go right under my skin.
Keep flying,
Capella

We will hold...we hold till Mal gets back.
My top three in descending order:
3.Simon's speech ( with the loveliest music!) after River is out of cryo
2. The dining table scene at the end of "Safe"
1.Mal asking if everyone will still be there when he wakes up in OoG.
And.... off topic a little, GrimJack, but I'm having one of those days where I'm wishin' so hard for more of our crew, that I'm a little blue, and your kind words above made me cry a little. So it qualifies as heart tuggin'. Thanks.
" You hold. Hold til I get back." Mal

Whenever I feel the cold hand of despair reaching out from the black, I warm myself with the company of my fellow Browncoats.
FollowMal, you are one of the most active contributors to this board, and you help keep the signal alive everyday. I'm with you my friend...on the line...until Mal comes back.
And FM...he will come back. Our friends will return to us, and we will be here when they wake up.
We are all crew...and sometimes we need to carry each other.
Your comrade in arms,
GrimJack
We will hold...we hold till Mal gets back.

When you're out of the blue and into the black"

Two scenes without words in Serenity are great, one is when Simon is patching up Kaylee and Jayne is watching through the window.
The other is used in the opening credits, Simon holding River's hand.
Kind of odd listing these here but they fit in my mind, the moment Inara looks at Mal after Nandi dies, and when Jayne says, "Make something up," at the end of Ariel.
Beyond that there are so many, with Simon and River especially, "Found me broken," "I didn't think you'd come/Well you're a dummy,"
Inara and Mal sitting above cattle got me for some reason.
When Kaylee was standing over Book, "He did this for me once."
Between Mal and Simon: "But you don't even like me./You're part of my crew, why are we still talking about this." Tone of voice wouldn't make you think it's an "aww" moment but it really is.
The moment Mal saw Serenity.
Kaylee's, "It's nobody's fault," in Serenity is so great but it isn't really between anyone, Mal isn't a part of it, he's an observer, it's just a momment where you go, "Kaylee is just so ... Kaylee."
Jayne with the kid, when he's over his body, "Didn't you hear a word?" Even before he had time to think about it you just see right there, he probably wouldn't care about it if he killed him, but there he is and you can tell that he'd rather be the one to die. This is Jayne we're talking about.

God that was great.
The guy in charge thought he was trying to stop it by saying, "You lose your doctor," but it was so much more. He'd be there for River no matter what, die for her even if it wouldn't save her.

Ok so what I'm learning here is that there are too many for me to think of at once but if I just read other people's posts I'll be reminded.
Those two were so powerful. And in Objects in Space when Kaylee confesses to River and River just shushes her.

Rex's betrayal. That bastard.
Rest in peace, Steggy. Rest in peace.
"The people who made the show, and the people who saw the show, which is roughly the same number of people, fell in love with it, a little bit too much to let it go, too much to lay down arms when when the battle looked pretty much lost. In Hollywood, people like that are called unrealistic, quixotic, obsessive... In my world, they're called Browncoats."

I know I shouldn't respond to so many posts, I'll probably double the length of the thread, but I just keep on seeing things where I want to say, "Same here, I almost cry reading it.

I can't believe I didn't say this, I can't believe no one in the part of the thread I've read so far said this:
Mal. Guy killed me, Mal. He killed me with a sword. How weird is that?
I got a short span here.
They destroyed my equipment... but I have a backup unit. Bottom of the complex,
right over the generator. Hard to get to. I know they missed it.
They can't stop the signal, Mal. They can never stop the signal.

My mother just said:
I don't know if it pulls at your heartstrings, but when she says they weren't cows inside.
I think that's a good one, because it just rings as so true and it's a moment when River, Mal, and the cows are all linked together in an understanding of freedom and such.

The writer and director both said they didn't think it would work, too overly dramatic, but that's part of what's so great about the cast, on paper it looks like cheap melodrama, but when he says it ... it's just real.
