You start referencing FF/Serenity scenes as analogies for real-life moments.
Example:
I was explaining to my wife how I felt about a potential employer contacting me about wanting to move forward in the interview process because I was basically their only candidate.
First thing that popped into my head during this explanation was the Simon/Kaylee scene from "The Message", where Simon is trying to give Kaylee a compliment, but as usual, flubs it by saying he likes her because she's basically the only available female on the ship.
S'plained to the wife that I suddenly felt like Kaylee in said scene...got a big laugh.

-- you're driving in heavy commuter traffic, trying to decide whether to change lanes, and say to yourself, "No, I'm all right." And that's instantly followed by, "I'm all right."

I don't disagree on any particular point.

When running errands, this song by Grand Funk Railroad:
http://www.lyricsfreak.com/g/grand-funk-railroad/62096.html
comes on the radio and you are amazed that it seems as though the lyrics were written specifically about Mal for the Firefly/Serenity video that is playing in your head.
MAL: We're still flying.
SIMON: That's not much.
MAL: It's enough.

....while you're driving on the highway, and a big rock gets kicked up and plants a BIG crack on your windshield, and instead of cursing or screaming you quietly say "What was that...?"

... you dream that Mal brings you pancakes in bed - and when you wake up you can't help but look around for them. When you don't find them, or him, you proceed to cry hysterically for ten minutes - before your mother runs into the room and, instead of asking you what's wrong - she just puts "Shindig" on.
... the proudest moment of your life was when your six year old cousin replies to your wish that the rain would stop - "Well, I'd like to be king of all Londinum and wear a shiny hat."

You giggle when seeing Serenity adult diapers.

you named your Pitbull Zoe(y)
Honestly, she got that name before I knew about firefly, but it's very existential don't you think? (grin)

...you squeal loudly when you see that one of your IGCSE English Mock exam questions tells you to 'write a story set in the future.' And write a story which has characters named Mal and Summer, and a spaceship named 'Serenity.' And then you get an A + for it...

On a down-day at school you give your students (and yourself) a treat by showing them the first episode.
. . . Now I have a list of students wanting to borrow my DVDs!
Soon, the whole high school will be using words like "shiny"
(does "Gorram" count as swearing in class and do I have to send them to the office?)

Yep. My daily driver is an 1985 Crown Victoria, it IS a boat (land yacht)

or after realizing the vehicle is operating without containment and you yell "Reavers!" and put the petal to the floor dodging traffic recklessly to avoid the "Reavers".
When I'm in my Riviera, I'm the one they're avioding.

How many Jaynes does it take to change a light bulb?
Two. One to try to put it in and another to find a bigger hammer.
