I had a friend whose grandmother did so it's not unheard of to me. Though, as I understand if you don't have a healthy diet and drink lots of water it's not good for you to do so (i.e. if your urine is very yellow).

Though, everytime I see that scene I think: "So. very. unsanitary."

But then I didn't think he was peeing on his hands then washing his face. I just thought he was peeing then he didn't wash his hands too well afterwards and put them directly on his face. I have sometimes suggested that perhaps it was hand sanitizer coming out of that faucet. Just to make myself feel better."

Haha, this subject is funny. Right after Book and Inara call him a man of mystery.

-Funniest Scene:
Objects in Space, Jubal Early: "Well, here I am"

-Saddest/most heartbreaking Scene:
The Message, when they're carrying Tracey's coffin to his family. Not because of Tracey, but because it's the end and you can really feel that in the scene.

-Most Romantic Scene
It's late and I'm barely awake, I can't remember which episode it was, but the scenes with Inara and her female client.

-Scene with the best music:
The Message, when they're carrying Tracey's coffin to his family.

-Scene that gave you the most warm fuzzies:
Any of the scenes where they're just sitting around the table, eating together. Except when Jayne was being mean to Kaylee.

-Creepiest Scene:
Objects in Space, Jubal Early threatening to rape Kaylee if she doesn't comply.

-Wierdest Scene:
Objects in Space, River when she first starts talking as Serenity.

-Best fight scene:
War Stories, Cap'n One-Ear giving his torturers (sp?) a little something back, then the gang showing up to help him finish it.

And For each of the characters, the scene you think they were best in (or scene about them you liked best, whatever):

-Best Mal Scene:
Serenity, when he walks onto Serenity and shoots the Alliance guy in the face. That quick decisive action is pure Mal.

-Best Zoe Scene:
War Stories, going into Niska's station to get her man back. Especially when she chooses Wash before Niska can finish asking her to choose.

-Best Wash Scene:
The Message, his fanciful flying through the gulleys while the pursuers are calmly flying overhead.

-Best Inara Scene:
Serenity, the scene with the homely kid client of hers, the way you see her internal reactions to each reckless barb then just what she shows on the outside.

-Best Kaylee Scene:
Serenity, eating the strawberry.

-Best Jayne Scene:
Serenity, the interrogation of the fed.

-Best Simon Scene:
The only character I didn't love instantly, still have a hard time with this selfish wanker. I guess the bit in Ariel where he steps away from the caper to save another doctor's patient.

-Best River Scene:
Objects in Space, the whole bit where she's walking through Serenity, touching the walls, seeing and hearing everyone's thoughts, culminating in the fantastically shot bit where she leans over and picks up the branch/gun.

-Best Book Scene:
War Stories, 'Very specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzy on the subject of kneecaps.' Tied with Objects in Space "I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not!"


t

Jayne: "These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me."

Wierdest scene:
In Serenity, when Inara is with that client.

Most romanitc:
I have to agree with throeau. When Inara is with her female client.

Warm fuzzies:
At the end of Ariel, when River says "It's time to go to sleep" (I think), and Simon replies "No, mei-mei. It's time to wake up."

Fight scene:
In War stories, when Wash is helping out.

Zoe/Wash scene:
In Shindig, when they're both in bed.

Jayne scene:
In Ariel, where he says, "Don't tell 'em what I did." Would also qualify for best Mal scene.

Book scene:
Our Mrs. Renyolds; "Isn't that...special"

Inara scene:
At the end of Shindig, where she's explaining to Atherton that he is black-listed or whatever.

Best Guest scene:
Either the Reaver kid or Tracey (?).

God. Why. Was. This. Show. Cancelled?

It wasn't even a full season, and there's just far too many great scenes in every category to choose from.

Funniest scene: No fair, there´s too many! A few, though:
Simon doping Jayne in "The Train Job"
"They shine like... (flicks his hands in the air)... little angels", "Did he just go crazy and fall asleep?", "I wuz aimin for his head."

From "Our Mrs Reynolds": "Zoe, why do I have a wife?" "You got a wife? All I got was that dumbass stick sounds like its raining." "I´m not a monster!", "How drunk was I last night?"
"I´ve been to forward." "No! Well, yes, but I actually like that in a woman." "Okay! Everybody not talking about sex, in here. Everybody else, elsewhere."

"Jaynestown": "I mean, the pretty fits, soft hands, definetely a moneyed individual. All rich and lily-white, pasty all over..." "All right! Fine. I´ll go. Just stop describing me." "You´re the boss, boss." "He´s the boss now? Day keeps getting better and better."
"Son of a bitch!" "This must be what going mad feels like." "I think they captured him though - you know...captured his essence." "Looks sort of angry, don´t he?" "That´s kinda what I meant."
"Jayne! The man they call Jayneee!" "No, "this" must be what going mad feels like." "We gotta go to the crappy town where I´m the hero!"

Saddest/Most heartbreaking scene: River and Simon at the end of "Serenity". "I didn´t think you´d come for me." "(welling up) Well, you´re a dummy."

Most Romantic scene: Zoe and Wash in bed together in "Shindig". So relaxed and comfortable with eachother, and yet still very loving and sexy at the same time. Plus, poetry!

Scene with the best music: Gotta go with the theme song. "You can´t take the sky from me." Damn straight!

Scene that gave you the most warm fuzzies:
In "Out of Gas" when they all sit down together, eating and laughing, and then surprising Simon with his birthday cake. They seem like a real family in that scene.

Creepiest scene: That whole atmosphere aboard the ship hit by Reavers in "Bushwacked".

Best fight scene: Going to rescue Mal in "War Stories".

Best Mal scene: "You turn on any on my crew you turn on me"

Best Zoe scene: "Jayne, you´ll scare the women" in "Bushwacked.

Best Inara scene: Tricking Saffron at the end of "Trash".


I just adore this show.

-Funniest Scene: Jaynestown, when they discover the statue. They all have great things to say. "This here's a spectacle might warrant a moment's consideration." "This must be what going mad feels like." "How's about we move away from this eerie ass piece of work and get on with our increasin'ly eerie ass day?"

-Saddest/most heartbreaking Scene: The scene at the end of Heart of Gold when Mal declares he is feeling truthsome and Inara responds by telling him about getting too close to the strength of someone like Nandi and, ergo, she's decided to leave. Tore me up.

-Most Romantic Scene: Wash and Zoe, making out on the bridge when River is wandering about being psychic at the beginning of Objects in Space.

-Scene with the best music: Last scene of The Message.

-Scene that gave you the most warm fuzzies: Near the end of Serenity, Wash and Kaylee with the help of Jayne and Book have just gotten them out of the Reavers' grasp. Kaylee looks affectionately at the bulkhead and pats her saying "That's my girl, my good girl."

-Creepiest Scene: Niska talking to his victim about Shan Yu at the beginning of War Stories when he's informed that "there's a read, the other side of the world, could be Serenity". He's the creepiest thing in the series when he goes back to torturing that poor fellow and gleefully thinks about getting his hands on our Captain.

-Wierdest Scene: Objects in Space, when we are shown that Early is listening to the others discuss River from the outside while River listens from her perch in the cargo bay.

-Best fight scene: War Stories, Jayne and Zoe and Wash going after the Captain, with Book taking out kneecaps and covering their backs.

-Best Mal Scene: Can I pick the whole episode of Out of Gas? No? Go se! Oh, well, then my favorite Mal scene is in Out of Gas when he proves that he is what a Captain should be. The scene where he's got everyone in the common room and he goes into his "time to start thinkin' about what we do got" speech. "Four per shuttle," he says, "I'm staying with Serenity; when they answer that beacon, someone's got to be here."

-Best Zoe Scene: When she goes to buy back her men in War Stories. Very serious, very watchful, very professional. All the way from the point where she's gathering money from the others to the point where Wash tells her "Bastard's not gonna get days." She is just great. ("I've come to buy back my men." "Him. I'm sorry, you were gonna make me choose, right? D'you wanna finish?" That cold stare for Niska over Mal's ear.)

-Best Wash Scene: His interrogation in Bushwhacked.

-Best Inara Scene: The duel at the end of Shindig.

-Best Kaylee Scene: Her interaction with Book at the Eavesdown Docks in Serenity when she's got her hair up, her blue jacket on, her parasol with her coveralls that have the bear applique, and her flip-flop shoes. "You're gonna come with us," she says. "You like ships and mine's the nicest."

-Best Jayne Scene: The end of Ariel, when he's in the airlock and knows Mal intends to kill him and he shows that he can grow a conscience. "Make somethin' up. Don't tell 'em what I did," he says.

-Best Simon Scene: Near the end of Safe when the townsfolk are about to burn River for being a witch. He climbs right up there beside her and says "Light it." Gives me chills every time.

-Best River Scene: Objects in Space, the combination of "She's not on the ship. She's in the ship. She is the ship...You're talking to Serenity," and then her exchange with the Captain that ends with "Don't make faces." This is what she's capable of.

-Best Book Scene: In Serenity when he disarms and knocks out the lawman and then proceeds to stand up to Jayne, "You're not killing this man." That look, that tone of certainty. (Why did they not air this first?!?)

-Best Saffron Scene: Digging in the garbage bin at the end of Trash. Right where she deserved to be. (I'd choose the moment when Zoe punched her, except she should have been on the floor on her butt with a broken jaw. She should not
