Not perfect, but here's one I made earlier :) 
My personal favourite subtle moment comes right after the Serenity battle scene at the beginning of the pilot. We get a close up of Mal's face at the end of the battle, watching his world fall apart right in front of him. Then there's a cut to him several years later, and he's upside down. To me this was our first clue that Mal had changed completely from the person he was. His entire existance has been turned upside down.

There is one amazing thing I noticed between Mal and Inara when watching Serenity for the, uh, 10th time. I ended up rewinding that part over and over again. My apologies if everyone already knows about it!
So overall, there's not a lot going on between Mal and Inara in the BDM -- understandable given the limitations of a movie with a cast of nine but still disappointing.
If we focus on the scene after everyone learns that Wash is dead, and the area has been prepped for the Reaver battle and Mal is about to leave at Zoe's insistence: Mal says that great line about holding til he gets back, then leaves. But right before he leaves, he and Inara exchange this LOOK that basically tells the whole story between them. The look is intense, and passionate, and if anyone catches it, you immediately know that something incredible was between them, that both their hearts are breaking at the very good chance one, or both, of them will die.
It's only a second and it's all we get, but I was floored that the two of them could each establish that connection in such a subtle, powerful way.
Did anyone else catch this??

Yes - I so did notice that look - and I agree with you about it telling the whole story - 'no time for goodbye, but just want to know you know' and then it's broken...
There is just such a brilliant depth to Nathan Fillion - and Adam, Jewell, Morena, Gina, Summer, Sean, Alan and Ron... heck - Joss just got it all RIGHT!
*sigh*

One thing I noticed for the first time the last time I watched Objects in Space. When River is psychically listening in on Wash and Zoe necking, all you here is the sound of waves washing up on a beach. Then River listens in on Mal and Zoe -- they do their internal monologues/dialogue ("I'm a big girl. Just tell me." "None of it means a damn thing."), and then there's the sound of the waves again, even though they aren't touching or even looking at each other.
The other thing I noticed is that Kaylee has no internal monologue for River to listen in on. Apparently she hides nothing; it's all worn on her sleeve.
