I did'nt get a chance to watch it on Fux. I had a friend lend me a VHS that had a mix-match number of episodes. So for me the first episode I saw was Out of Gas. I knew I found something unlike anything I've ever seen, when Mal see's Serenity off in the distance. I dont know exactly why I so connected with that moment. I somehow feel like I'm also searching,but havent found the perfect thing yet?
Wierd huh?

The pilot, Mal says to Bendis, "We've done the impossible and that makes us mighty." I thought, who is this guy? and that was it...

Mal:We're still flying.
Simon: That's not much.
Mal: It's enough.

For me, it was in the original pilot, when they're shutting the ship down to avoid being detected by the alliance and Kaylee climbs up a ladder to turn the lights off and then "...and now I can't get down." I thought it was beyond hilarious - I don't know why - it's not a particularly spectacular moment in the show, but I think it sort of encapsulates the way the crew operates - they get things done, but never without amusing screw ups.

I first caught the show when it aired on SciFi as a run up to Serenity. The first episode I saw was Shindig. I came upstairs and turned on the Tele, and I caught Jayne and the crew plotting to save Cap'n Tightpants. And then Enter River. Her little monologue about Badger was amazing, her accent was spot on, and the switch from playing with her big brother to psychoanylyzing the "Sad little king of a sad little hill" was what got me hooked.
Then when I got the DVD last Christmas, so I watched it all the way back home from California. So I guess the other thing what got me was Nathan/Mal's pep talk to Bendis. "We're not gonna die, you know why Bendis? Because we're too pretty for God to let us die." Totally unlike any other war "We'll be fine" line ever.
"I'm not gonna say that Serenity is the greatest SciFi movie I've ever seen - Oh wait, Yes I am."

My 7 year old son and I were watching the pilot yesterday (he was home sick) and he laughed outloud at that line! We were watching it b/c he wanted to see the scene with Wash (his favorite character) and the dinos - that's the scene that hooked him!

Train Job, first time around, about 3 minutes in:
Zoe lookin' for help against the U-Day supporters: "Jayne?"
Jayne: "Hey, I never fought in no war! Best o'luck though!"
For some reason this just ticked my funny bone.

In 'Our Mrs. Reynolds' when Wash said, "Okay! Everyone not talking about Sex, in here! Everyone else, Elsewhere!"
I laughed pretty hard at that one and that's what kept me in...

Browncoats are the coolest fans I've ever seen.

looking back now, id wana say the first line of the pilot, but if im honest it had to be the sword fight scene in shindig, (or more over the inara and mal practising scene right before it.) thats when i knew it was special.
What totaly clinched me howevere was the
"You guys gunna still be here when i get back?" Mal's line from out gas, still chokes me up, as it did the first time.
heard that line- had lump in my throat, and went whoa, i care about these characters this much!

I really enjoyed it right from the 'serenity' pilot, but Ariel really got me addicted... why?...
"Two by two, hands of blue, two by two hands of blue", those guys are well scary and it really highlighted River's powers and I found myself so utterly intrigued by the show and where it was going, the episode also gave Jayne a chance to shine and show a lot of depth to his character which I really liked.
This thread is just evil, you can't limit yourself to just one fantastic moment, they all joined together to form the biggest people magnet EVER!!
