Many of you have said that turning on 'Firefly' or 'Serenity' feels like coming home...

Makes me cry every time. I've seen it about 4 times now, which considering I don't have a DVD player, and only watched it for the first time about a month or so ago...

All those scenes mentioned and any scene around that table. It's the family gathering place.

Yeah, even though they might bicker and fight they always manage to come together

It is, something I feel somewhat jealous about. Probably why I love the show, it's what I've always wanted.

I second many of the above for the Homey-Feeling of FF, but would add this:
In "Safe", when Simon looks up at his River tied to the fire-wood, she's saying some River-babble like "Posts to make holes".....and he knows exactly what he is to do, he willingly walks up into the fire-wood, puts his arms around his sister, and says "light it". And the look on his face when River says "....time to go...."
Either that, or anytime the Reavers Feast

Oooh, good question. On a bad day, I default to OMR. It's the episode where I really fell in love with the show, especally Mal. There is also the Mal Greatest Hits List. I'm gonna look nuts, but here goes.
"None of it means a damn thing." from OIS
The end of Ariel when he's talkin' to Jayne.
Dancing with Inara in Shindig.
Heart of Gold, the bit from doin' the deed with Nandi onward to the end. My heart breaks for him every time Inara says shes leaving.
The Mean Old Man thing in the pilot.
As much as I love the 'Verse all over, I am a Mal fan in the end.
I do have issues, but I enjoy them!

That's a great description of what watching FF is like.
I can't put my finger on it, but it's true.
I love it all.

May I suggest something not from Firefly or even Serenity actually it's not even a scene.The thing which makes me feel like I've just come home is coming to this forum & talking with all my fellow Browncoats cause we get on so well with each other,we are in fact like one big family sharing our thoughts,questions,answers,ect.

WOW Darkfly - that is so awesome! And so true! As soon as I read what you say about the FFFfamily as I refer to them... I mean...US!! I thought - now that is so true! We bond over the show but we are so much a part of one another's lives that we share much much more than just Firefly observations - check out the imponderables thread any time!!
For me, regarding the show, there are so many little moments that create the whole feel. I loved the show the moment Kaylee kissed Mal and said "I love my captain" and the look he throws to Jayne! I was home from that moment on...
When River returns to Serenity at the end of Objects in Space I think of a father holding out his arms so his toddler can take her first steps to him. It's kind of symbolic of River's growth in the show and I am sure we'd have noted that had we been allowed to see the next 6-&-a-half-years of Firefly...
Dinner at the start of Out of Gas - the warmth, laughter, family-ness
Zoe laughing at Shepherd Book when he is bewildered at why River hides from his hair (well her tone of voice says she's laughing on the inside)
Jayne picking up Kaylee & carrying her to the engine room in Serenity
Almost any moment with Simon & River including when she says "I threw up on your bed..." & he smiles wryly and says "That's my sister"
Moments between Wash and Zoe - the chemistry of those two is palpable - I want a relationship that good!
Mal's face when he knows what he has to do is going against his & Wash's instict and love for Zoe - but he steps forward, pins Wash to the wall and orders him to go to the bridge even though Zoe might be dying...
Jayne's awkwardness when he doesn't know what to say - that always betrays the fact that he cares what the other person thinks of him. His look after Simon saves the patient in recovery's life, and knows that he is already on the path to betrayal of him... (tears me up that one!)
The fact that Mal looks like he could cry when he says to Inara "you spin me around.... I wish you was any place else but here..." in the BDM
I could go on - but I have life to live...
Love you all though my shiney-Firefly-family-people! - Magdalena x x x
"I love my Captain!"

Wash's dinos on the pilot console in "Serenity."
Simon and Kaylee in the crew lounge in "OiS."
The whole lounge area, actually. It just reminds me of a family living room. Coupla mis-matched carpets, a tattered sofa, a coffee-table, some easy-chairs, a metal chair from somewhere, the bookshelves built into the bulkhead, the kitchy pole-lamp. . .
