none of the episodes make me teary, but every time I see the end of serenity (i think you can figure out which scene if you look at my signiture)I cry so bad. Its one of the 4 films that have ever made me cry, heartless ice queen that I am.
I found the Serenity novel in a bookshop the other day, and flicking through I found that scene, and I started to cry! Right in the middle of the Sci-fi section in Borders! And every time I read a fanfic about Wash and Zoe after Serenity, i cant stop myself from filling up!
What does that say about me?

I love Wash! Bring back Wash!

Yep, that is the one that really gets me too. You realise that River does know how she affects the others and how some of them feel about her.

The other one is Rivers "you found me broken". Gets me every time.

Mine are very River-centric, cause I'm in a "River is the best thing since sliced bread" mood.

In Serenity, it's when Kaylee get shot, and Inara rushes over to her, Kaylee says "Everybody's so mad." the Inara says "It's okay, baby."
Then again, when River wakes up in the cryo box, and screams, and then when Simon is telling the crew about River.
Then at the end, with River & Simon, "I didn't think you'd come for me." Even before that, River's "I slept for so long." & Simon's "Then we'll find a place. We'll find a safe place."

In Safe, it's when River says "I took you away from there. I know I did. You don't think I do, but... I get confused." & "You gave up everything you had to find me. You found me broken. It's hard for you. You gave up everything you had." & Simon's "Mei-mei, everything I have is right here."
Then at the end, "Post-holer. For digging holes for posts." "Light it." "Time to go."

In Our Mrs Reynolds, The look on Inara's face when Mal storms out of the cargo bay to find Saffron. So sad.

In Ariel, when Simon's telling River that they're going to be asleep. River says "I don't wanna do it. I don't wanna go to that place. I don't wanna die."
Then in the hospital, Simon's explaining made me weepy, the whole "They did it over and over..."
Then River's "No no no, they come out of the black, they come when you call."
And River's "No no, I can't go back, I don't wanna go back." when the Feds are about to catch them.

In War Stories, the whole scene with Simon & River in her bed. "Going. Going back. Like apple bits coming back up. Chaos. [...] Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I hate the bits, the bits that stay down, and I work, I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?"

In The Message, the funeral (obviously) but also because in the commentary (Alan Tudyk & Jewel Staite) they say that it was the very last scene they shot for the series, and that just made me cry more. Stupid Fox. Idiots.

In Heart of Gold, the scene when Mal comes out of Nandi's room, and Inara sees him made me a little weepy, just how uncomfortable they were. But then what really got me was Inara's breakdown. It's so heartbreaking.

In Objects in Space, towards the end, River's "It's okay, Early, I'm going with you. [...] Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled, can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be waht they wanted to be, could be with the people they wanted. Could live simple. No secrets. [...] I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll jsut fade away. [...] Simon?!?!?" And then her scream, so sad.

That's all my sad River moments, I'll probably come back with some of the other characters, too. But that's all I have for now...

Oh lordy... I'd say the most tearful moment for me, the bit that always makes my throat hurt and my eyes well up, is the first shot of Serenity in the BDM... oh god, just thinking of it and remembering that AMAZING music is making me get all weepy now. It was just so perfect, and I wish I'd been a fan of the series back then and actually gone to opening night (I was converted through DVDs).

Other bits that make me wibble:

- the way Simon is so tender with River after she comes out of the box in the pilot. He's so protective and nurturing, and then you find out she's his sister... I don't know why, but that makes it even more powerful. If Joss had made River his lover or cousin or friend, it would have been one thing, but for some reason the brother/sister thing just gets me right here (and I'm an only child!)

- on a related note, and these make me smile as well as sniffle: I love the scenes where Simon teases River like an older brother. He doesn't do it often as he is usually trying to take care of her... but oh god, when he responds to River saying, "I didn't think you'd come for me," with, "Well, you're a dummy!" it was just... SO perfect. Ditto on the, "I threw up in your bed. / Yep. Definitely my sister" scene.

- Almost all of Out of Gas, mostly the bits where Mal is so totally alone on his ship, dying, with no one to help him... and conversely, the scene where he asks if everyone will be there when he wakes up. The bit where he sees Serenity is also nice, mainly for the beautiful music to set it off.

- "No, mei mei. It's time to wake up."

- I admit to wibbling over poor tortured Wash in War Stories. He was trying but just was not strong enough; I wanted to cry every time his head slipped out of the headrest before Mal snapped him out of it. I also wanted to cry when Zoe is comforting him after his release, being gentle without any sign of their previous disagreement. And then Wash became an awesome badass, and I cheered. ^_^

- Inara crying in Heart of Gold. I really was not expecting that at all, so it hit like a punch to the gut. Conversely, I think I am the only person in the verse who was actually expecting Inara to leave at the end, once she started talking about "depending on strength" and stuff, so that didn't hit me so hard.

- As many people have said, the speech where River agrees to be Early's bounty is just heartwrenching and sad. It unfortunately is not so gripping a second time as I know she's laying it on thick, but at the time, I honestly thought that this was sincere, plus the fact that it was the end of the series made me wonder if she WAS going to be captured. I also wibble at the scene in OiS where the crew is talking about River and she's listening from below, with a slightly sad expression on her face.

"This must be what going mad feels like."

I know it's not an "episode," but the BDM makes me cry every damn time I watch it, no matter what.

- Serenity (the pilot). I get teary very easily so it's not exactly like it's a difficult thing, but I was getting teary after Kaylee was shot and Mal refused to turn the ship around until Kaylee cries out - damn I love their relationship. And when Jayne is watching the operation on the catwalk through the window. What a great character moment, seriously. Then Simon and River, after she first comes out of the cryo and then again at the end with "I didn't think you'd come for me." I love them a lot - sibling relationships are my favorite things to explore - reading, writing, role-playing, it's all so wonderful.

- Safe. "Mei mei, everything I have is right here." Oh god. ;_;

- The end of Out of Gas.

- The end of The Message - I think this is the only one I actually cried at. It was sad, sort of in a "All Quiet on the Western Front" sort of way.

- BDM. Um. Okay. I teared up when River begged Simon to kill her ("Bullet to the brain. Squish!"). Also when Book protests that he's not part of Mal's crew and Mal says, "Yes, you are." (Nathan, how do I love thee, let me count the ways...) And... basically from Wash kicking it to the end of the movie I was in one stage of tears or another. I was a sobbing mess, but especially at Simon and River with "You take care of me." I can definitely see why that was hard to film. (Getting teary thinking about it, oops.) It was even worse when I was watching it slightly inebriated because I'm also a very emotional tipsy/drunk, apparently.

Oh yeah, I also laughed until I cried at the "TRAAAP!" in the deleted scenes, does that count?

Three big ones for me are:

River's speech in Safe after she found the Hodgeberries, The Funneral in The Message, and Early's "Well, here I am." in Objects in Space.

The big ones for me

Serenity (pilot) - River: "I didn't think you'd come for me", Simon: "Well you're a dummy". Priceless acting by both of them.

Out of Gas - Mals long walk, but mostly the "Y'all will be here when I wake up?" scene. Swallowing hard and blinking heavily here!

Objects in Space - "I'll be your bounty Jubal Eary" My god if they hadn't cancelled this show Summer Glau would've had me wallowing in a puddle by season two,...

Oh wait she just saved that for the "You always take care of me Simon. My Turn!" scene in Serenity the BDM.
Damn you Summer ;-) , stop messing with my brain!

Keep Flyin' and have good sex (preferably not at the same time)
