Way too many to choose from.

So, i'll go with the one that hooked me to FF in the first place. The beginning of the Train Job, when Cap, Zoe and Jayne are standing on the edge of the ravine and Serenity "whooshes" into the scence, up behind them...I just felt this rush in my stomach telling me I was going to love everything about this show.


Creepy moment: Bushwhacked, When the "survivor" suddenly appears behind Jayne.....aaaah!
"He looked bigger when I couldn't see him"

In "War Stories" when Zoe has just rescued Wash, and tells him that Niska may take days to torture Mal. Wash stands up and says "Bastard's not gonna get days!" I cheer at that line every time!

I always think of OIS, the beginning when River comes across Wash and Zoe on the bridge and their passion rushes over her. Her rapt expression is pure deliciousness.

It's the small moments that really bowl me over in this show.

The exchange between Mal asks Jayne why he didn;t turn on him and Jayne (forgive me if I'm not verbatim here)replies:

"I guess the money just wasn;t good enough" and Mal says "What happens when it is"

Jayne: "That'll be an interesting day"

----

The moment that got me hooked from Train Job when I first watched it on Fox was in the bar fight when Zoe calls for Jayne's help.

His reply "I wasn't in no war, best of luck though..."

I knew the entire tone right from there and was ... As they say suckered in.

Two moments for me:

1. In 'Serenity' when Mal tells Simon that Kayle has died. He finds her and she gives him this really cute wave.

2. This may be a bit lame but the bit in the dogfight at the end of 'Serenity' when the camera zooms in on the Reever ship. Best special effect ever and it feels so real and original.

Rock. That might be my second favorite one, or like Maniac says, when River sees them on the bridge in OiS. But the "bastards" line just makes my heart pound-- really seriously pound.

I think one of mine is the bar scene in The Train Job.

Mal: "Say that to my face."
Ugly Alliance Dude: "I said you're a coward and a piss-pot. What're you gonna do about it?"
Mal (smiling): "Nuthin', I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya."
Ugly dude turns to meet the butt of Zoe's rifle across the face.

Man! That's some great stuff.

YES! That nonchalant, unassuming, split-second shot is forever burned into my brain. Perfect choice.

Oh let me count the ways...Mal shooting the Fed while walking back onto Serenity. No pause, no hesitation. Just---BAM!---let's go people.
Mal & Wash in "War Stories": Wash tells Mal to name one time Zoe disobeyed an order and without missing a beat Mal says "She married YOU!"
Jayne's "Chain of command" line.
There are lots of little moments that shine.

But my favourite, the one that gets me every time I see it, is at the end of "Ariel", when Simon is about to give River some medicine he hopes will help bring her back to her old self. River says, "Time to go to sleep." and Simon tenderly says "No, Mei-mei...it's time to wake up."
That wasn't a "Woooh-hooo!" moment.
It was an "Ah..."
It gives me goose-bumps even typing it.

"Take me, sir. Take me hard."

That gave me goosebumps just reading it. I can't believe the number of great moments this show had... why was it cancelled again? :/
