I think I liked firefly when I saw the firefly and all the pretty colours and they were flying into a planet at high speed. I think this was one of the first episodes.
I also like the part where the doctor asks Kaylee what she is doing and she says "Crime".

This post isn't anything new (in fact, there's a few people that I share the EXACT same moments with here on this list...)
There were all these little moments that got me hooked on the show....
But when Mal first sees Serenity in the end of OoG, I just sat there in the dark after the episode ended, fully in love with the show and the characters thinking, "This is the best show ever. EVER."

and
'faster, faster, faster would be better!'
....isn't it funny that this line wasn't scripted? Joss said in the commentary that he told Nathan to just make up some line that would sound "Mal-ish" and that's what Nathan came up with. Then Joss had the thought, "I should have just let the actors write it for me." lol

I actually saw the movie first. But it was only a few minutes in which made fall in love with it. When the Operative says "Stop. Backtrack. Stop", followed by the whole scene introducing him, which was just brilliant. And then it was that good the whole way through. So immediately after seeing the film (about 5 times) I had to go and watch the whole of the series.

Hi and welcome, Brys. I don't think we've crossed trails on the board yet, so, glad to meet you!
You know, I've never heard anybody mention that scene of the movie as their "hook" before. I'm a long-timer (saw Firefly's first run on TV) so to me it was an introduction to the movie's "bad guy", not to the whole 'verse. It was, of course, powerful since Joss uses that scene to show us very clearly just how ruthless the Operative is going to be.
You know, I sometimes worry that the "fall on the sword" scene is just too shocking an introduction for those who've never seen Firefly. Your comments make me feel a bit less worried about that.

I first watched the BDM and had to check out the series.
I loved the part when Mal told Jayne he couldn't take grenades with them. While being chased, Jayne looked at Mal and said, "It'd be nice if we had some grenades right about now!"
After that I was hooked for life.

i saw the movie first... so, the part i LOVED was when the operative says "stop" and walks through the hologram.

I gotta say as well, the moment that Mal walks on to the ship, shoots Dobson, and just is that quick about it, I was hooked!

The Train Job when the Sheriff says
"When someone learns about a situation like ours, then he has a choice to make" (or something like that)
Mal: "I don't believe he does."
It was over after that.

I was a very very late convert to Firefly, wanting to watch the series before I watched the movie, and honeslty, the movie intrigued me opnly becuase Gina and Morena are just so damn gorgeous!
I got a copy of the pilot episode in a hollywood video and withing 15 minutes, I was wearing a brown coat! it hooked me that fast! And now there is just no looking back!
