One of my favorite scenes is where Lawrence was holding a gun up to River's head "If sombody makes so much as a mo-"And then Mal walks in and shoots him in the head.

Another is when River slashes Jayne in the chest with a butcher knife and says,"He looks better in red."

It's okay. I'm a leaf on the wind.-Wash

Mal discovers Saffron and looks to sensible, loyal Zoe for help in sorting this out...discreetly, y'know?

It might be but I am pretty sure it was in the Pilot.

Are you thinking of the bit after the fight in front of the bar? If you are that's from the opening scene of "The Train Job." If not I don't know what scene your thinking of.

Basically all of Objects in Space - the storyline where River becomes Serenity ("...she's very unhappy") is one of the good ideas in that episode. In the commentary Whedon talks about the tactile relationship River has with the ship - all those shots of her feet and hands touching the ship as she walks through it. And in the BDM, the first shot of River is her lying casually on the catwalk.

I liked Book's relations with Inara. He confided in her a lot and they talked and shared.

In Our Mrs Reynolds, Mal's look of baffled incredulity when Saffron tells him she's his wife, a moment before the title sequence cuts in.

I loved the part in 'Out Mrs Reynolds' where Jayne tries to barter for Mal's 'wife'

I also loved the opening of the BDM when it cuts to Serenity. A great way to establish an initial impression of the crew.

Overall though theres so many to choose from.

The scene that hooked me is actually kinda silly in retrospect but it just struck me so funny when I saw it for the first time.

At the end of the train job after Mal tried to give the money back and the first thug refuses, gets tossed into the jet wash and then Mal turns to the number 2 guy and starts into his speech again... The guy cuts him off right away, "I got it. no problem." just the look on his face...

dumb, but I loved it.

My favorite scene has got to be Wash playing with the dinosaurs on the radar screen.

"We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... this land."
"I think we should call it YOUR GRAVE!"
"Oh, no, sudden yet inevitable betrayal."
-Wash
