Well, all the obvious ones. Obviously. But recently two Simon moments have made me sniffly.

The first is in the pilot, during Simon's "I am very smart" speech. He gets to the part where he talks about the academy and he says "She wanted to go. She wanted to learn." The his voice starts to break with emotion and he says. "She was fourteen." The way he says it just breaks my heart.

The second is during 'Objects in Space', when the crew argue over River's fate. The argument gets pretty heated and Simon says, in a quiet, bewildered voice, "She's just a kid." I love the way the mood changes at that moment. And it does tear me up a bit.

Apologies if I've posted this already!

The commentary on the pilot when the theme music comes on, Joss and Nathan are singing away and when they hit the "You can't take the sky from me" line you hear Joss say something like "Well I guess they could"

Not so much a teary moment as a punch an exec moment though.

In War Stories when River is saying that she hates being well, because she knows it will go away and it'll be even worse then, that gets me every time. Then also in Out of Gas when Mal says "Everybody dies alone" I also tear up in Objects in Space when River says "And I'll just fade away"...that combined with the music there is just too much. And one more is in Safe with the "You gave up everything you had to find me, you found me broken" "mei-mei everything I have is right here"
And I also sometime get sad at the end of Heart of Gold with Inara's whole speech, just because I wish those crazy kids could just work things out...
....Yeah, okay I get emotional sometimes.

Hmmm, I guess the part that choked me up the most is the end of The Message. The music there really is killer, especially because the composer meant for the music in that scene to say "Farewell, Firefly". Cuz that was one of the last scenes they shot.

Always havin' a good time!

Heart of Gold, and the last 20 minutes of Serenity. And the last couple of seconds of Jaynestown with the slow quiet few notes of Hero of Canton always gets me a little.

I can't even think of the end of OoG when Mal sees Serenity for the first time without welling up. Hell, trying to get through this thread without getting teary-eyed was impossible.

After I saw OoG I just sat in the dark for a while (I saw it very late at night, I was trying like hell to get through the series before seeing the BDM on the big screen. I'm a nut, I must see EVERYTHING in order...), and just thought to myself, "crimeny, I think this is the best show ever. EVER."

"Well, you were busy trying to get yourself lit on fire, it happens."

The last scene of "Out of Gas". It, IMO, is the defining moment of the series and makes me shed a tear no many how many times I see it. And then when the episode goes off, I think: DAMN YOU FUX! DAMN YOU TO HADES FOR CANCELLING SUCH A MASTERPIECE!

SAFE "you found me, broken".....................ARIEL"no mei mei, time to wake up"...................BDM when we first see the ship (oh, that music!) and after Simon is shot, the interaction between him and River

Life is short, brutal, and unpredictable. EAT DESSERT FIRST.

None of the episode brought me to tears,The Message being the closes, but Serenity is a different story all together. I consider myself a pretty tuff character, but I took Books and Washs death pretty hard. That being said, Three words from Zoe, had me crying like my 7 year old after scraping her knee.

After Kaylee says, "Wait, What about Wash?

Zoe says "He's ain't comin"

It brings tears to my eyes every time.
