FIRE*FLY*GAS*M (fi er fa lie gaz im)1) The scene, moment or 'still' in Firefly that made you involuntarily go WHOOOOO! or Jump Up and Cheer or just plainly GOTCHA in some manner.

MINE
"Train Robbery" - where the bound Niska's "Oddjob" Crow (finally found the name, DOH) give Mal the "I'll hunt you down and shoot you like a duck" () and Mal seems disappointed then BOOTS Crow into the port engine!

BTW: 'Fireflygasm" coined (I believe) by 'SteveD:The Exalted of Tangency' on this site ...

My fav is from the train job when Jane tells Wash; "You know what the chain of command is, its the chain I go get and beat you with untill you know whose in ruting command here."

Me and my dad both nearly fell on the floor laffing!

When Mal walks into the cargo bay at the end of Serenity and shoots Dobson in the face without breaking stride.

Runner-up: When Mal kicks Crow into the engine intake.

RIVER
Purple elephants are flying.
MAL
Good. Thanks for the update.

In "War Stories":

Zoe: "Him. I'll take him. (beat) Oh, sorry to interrupt. You were going to ask me to choose?"

Gotta go with 'Trash'.

Simon (to Jayne): Just know that when you're on this table, I'll always do my job. I'm going to trust you; I hope you'll afford me the same treatment. That's the only way this is going to work.

[exit Simon]
Then River leans in: "Also...I can kill you with my brain."

Man, was that funny...

My favorite moment in the series, though, is the very very end. Er..the end of OiS, not Firefly, heh, heh.

With the marble, and "I can win this", and "I'm hearing a lot of talk there genius..."
Then she drops it, and the camera goes down...and I love the music in the back...and then the ship flies off. If you turn the sound up high enough, it's real cool, because you can hear the engine in the backround when River and Kaylee are together, then it cuts off when the camera hits space. The -Joss Whedon- comes up, and they play that chord again...friggin' awesome. Great way for the show to end. Err...take a breif intermission, before becoming a movie, and then a television series again. Of course.

I have a few, but tops has got to be in War Stories- When Mal gets up off the torture table (after the crew attacks), hits the guard with the torture device, then slaps Niska- When Mal asks Niska if he wants to see the real him now, it's like I want to stand up and go "whoop his ASS!!!!!" -

Second would have to be with Patience, when Mal tells her to have fun running her little world- She stabs him in the back but he's ready for her, and tops it off by getting the last dig in at her expense with her own quote-

He looked bigger when I couldn't see him.

Eek, there's so many!

One of the ones not mentioned was in Serenity when Jayne is interrogating the Fed, Dobbes (i think that's his name).

The first bit, 'Pain is scary...'; then the end, 'Awww, you don't know nothin'... it's all over your face... don't they teach you nothin' about resisting torture in Fed school?'

Was just a great moment for Jayne.

If you can't run, you crawl, and if you can't crawl, well, if you can't do that, you find someone to carry you.

GOTCHA MOMENT-At the start of Bushwacked. When Wash went to check out a loud bang, sat down in his chair on the Bridge, and all the sudden a dead body hits the view port in front of him. He lets out a yell and I jumped in my seat, heart pounding. That's the first time I've ever been "GOTCHA'd" by a tv show.

Woah!: War Stories, River takes out 3 badguys, 3 shots, less than a second. Awesome but really creepy.

Cheering!: Serenity, Blasting off from Whitefall. I think Jayne sums it up best when he said "WOOOOHOOO!!"

Gotcha!: Heart of Gold, Inara telling Mal that she's leaving. That defintely wasn't what you expect her to say at that point.

Ariel: When jane's go'n over the loot, turns around as mal clocks him up side the head with the wrench. Then they went to comercial. Very cool.
