Two moments always make me cry...every time...over and over.

Out of Gas - the very end when the salesman is trying to sell Mal the ugly yellow ship and he only has eyes for Serenity.

Serenity - the end of the BDM when Mal explains to River that the first rule of flying is love.

Guess you can tell I love that ship...

wow that's tough...I think I have to go with either

Select to view spoiler:

buffy's death in "the gift", Angel's death in "Becoming"

or most of "Chosen" though there's also "hole in the world" in Angel, that one definitely gets to one, and the end of "not fade away". I can't think of anything really that competes with any of those from firefly. But yea, can't really narrow it down to just one lol.

"Haha, mine is an evil laugh."

The last minute of the Buffy episode immediately preceding "The Body."

The end of OoG, when Mal asks if the others'll all be there when he wakes up.

RIVER: You gave up everything you had to find me. . . and you found me broken.
SIMON: No, mei-mei. Everything I have is right here.

(Big manly tears.)

For Firefly one tearjerker moment for me is the quote in my signature
"Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away."

In Angel

Select to view spoiler:

When Fred is dying/becoming Iliyara(sp?) and Wesley is holding her, that whole scene

There were many many scnes in Firefly that struck me (which is why I became a fan) A lot of them have already been mentioned. Mal moving through the ship in Oog, Kaylee being shot (wow that was something, Jewel gave a really good performance) I just can't watch the torture scene in Warstories, makes me cringe. And many many others.

But what hit me the hardest was Wash's death. I just didn't see it coming. It was so quick, so unexpected, and to me so senseless. Again I KNOW why Joss did it but the rest of the movie was a blur to me, I barely payed any attention to the end. It seemed... meaningless. I didn't care about Mr Universe (frankly that character annoyed me) Seeing Book was bad enough (another waste) but Wash? Got me real bad. So bad I've only watched the DVD 3 times. Nothing hit me this hard since Vader told Luke he was his father. Not even that. So ya, Joss has a knack at playing with the emotions.

Buffy and Angel, don't watch the shows so can't comment.

If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting

Well, there's so many it's hard to choose. If someone came at me and forced me at gunpoint, I coule (MAYBE) narrow it down to two. One is from Firefly. The scene is titled River's Dance or something like that (but I call it River Dance, just because of the stupid pun it makes lol). When River is dancing in Safe and mal and Jayne are elbow-deep in some gunplay, and the music for the dance eventually takes over, and the dance and the fire fight both match up to the music. Pure genius. It's inspirational (especially for someone like me, who wants to someday get into directing). The other is the second scene of Serenity, when the letters of Serenity fade in and you can see them on the side of the ship and there's a soft violin, but it's otherwise dead silent. That was just so unbelivably powerful to me... *in awe*

Never really seen any Buffy or Angel, but Firefly,WOW!! Let me think.

There are many times I've gotten lumps in my throat.I look around,see if anyones watching.

One that gets me pretty choked up is from OIS. When River starts explaining that shes going away because shes not wanted aboard the ship. I really want to kick the crew of Serenitys a$$ for that one. I know shes got ISSUES and all, but just think of what that poor girls been through. Funny the way she saves them all in the end though. Thats a hoot

Too many powerful moments to list. Just got done watching one of my favorites though. In Objects In Space, the scene between Early and Kaylee in the engine room. Intense damn scene. whew...

But, there are many moments in Firefly that really tug hard at the old heart strings. No doubt.
