Definitely "The Message"
Even more so after watching the Special Features and finding out what the music in the last scene really meant :(

Heart of Gold when Inara tells Mal she's leaving.

Out of Gas when Mal sees Serenity for the first time

Movie when Wash and Book die

Course whenever I get to Objects In Space I have to stop because I know it's the last episode and I get melancholy. It usually takes me 1-2 weeks before I actually watch it.

One day.
One plan.
One army of Browncoats.

On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

The end of Jaynestown, where Jayne's trying to make sense of what just happened but seems to fall just short of figuring out, but still feels "something".

The end of The Message, after the kid dies, and they're presenting his body to the family. I know this one was supposed in envoke those types of emotions, being the last aired episode and all, but that scene was gretuitously emotional. It almost made me become a gawth.

Almost all of Out of Gas, but specificially when it shows Mal seeing Serenity for the first time. He had a greater initial attraction to the ship than he did to Inara.

Objects in Space was one of the few with a happy ending (Except for Jubal... poor Jubal) that was a lot more wistful early on when River's experiencing everyone's thoughts/emotions. I'm not usually empathetic towards other people's plights, but... I guess it makes sense that when I finally am, it's for a fictional character.

The BDM has to be the epitomy for me, though. At the end, the little exchange between River and Mal. "Storm's getting worse", "We'll rise above it soon enough". Something like that. Almost invokes thoughts of suicide just to escape the sinking feeling in my chest.

Course, this is all taking away from the inheirent ability of even the funniest episode to make me cry. Maybe it woulda been different watching them without KNOWING that they were going to come to an end, but I only saw the series after it got cancelled. I often accuse friends who see the show and don't immediately fall in love with it of not having souls.

The part where Simon tells the others about River after she's come out of the box... that long monologue and the music behind it makes me cry everytime. The end of "Out of Gas", when Mal sees Serenity, I am transfixed by his face and already crying. "The Message", by the end, I'm in rolling down my cheeks tears. The end of "Objects in Space", just cuz it's the end.
My heart does the same thing it did the very first time... every single time. It breaks.

Ok, now you all have gone and done it, I don't even have to watch them and I'm crying.


And the scene at the end of "Safe", oh, my.

*goes to watch*







"You hold. Hold 'til I get back." Mal

Definitely Jaynestown towards the end where we have Jayne conflicted on the whole hero status and the responsabilities that come with it. The Message is still my least and most favorite episode. That one definately triggered some memories a few people I could not help.

During the initial run on Fox I teared up during Safe, Out of Gas, and Objects in Space. When I got the DVDs Heart of Gold and The Message got me. What really made me cry was the first time I saw the ship on the big screen. The combination of music and the "majestic" way it appears was too much. Just hearing the music makes me sniffle now.
