There are so many great scenes, ones that can stand on their own, I wonder which ones everyone likes the best?

My pick, to start things, is the opening of "Our Mrs. Reynolds." The back and forth between mal and jayne is great, and then the whole tone turns. I really love that scene.

Simon: "Were there any Feds?"
mal: "No, no Feds, just an honest brawl between folk."

My favorite sad scene is in "Safe" when Simon stands on the wood with River and says "light it". I always cry then.

As for favorite all-around scene though, it's just too hard to choose.

I've got a lot of favs, but one that sticks out right now is gotta be the scene in Train Job where Mal and Zoe just got off the train after Serenity has robbed it...

Mal: Come on. We stick to the plan. We get the goods, we're back on Serenity before the train even reaches Paradiso, only now we do it under the noses of twenty trained Alliance Feds. And that makes 'em look all manner of stupid. Hell, this job I would pull for free.
Zoe: Can I have your share?
Mal: No.
Zoe: If you die, can I have your share?
Mal: Yes.

I like Mal and Zoe banted. They are like a couple of old college roomies.

Too many to choose from...but at the moment?

When Saffron flies the shuttle away, leaving Mal in the desert screaming.

Two that stick out in my mind immediately.

The first bar scene in "Jaynestown". Specifically when after the guitar player sings "Jayne!!!", Jayne perks up like a prairie dog. Just the reaction was priceless. And then the end when the bartender goes "No hero of Canton's gonna be drinking that shong mao niao. He get's the best whiskey in the house!!!"

That's one of my fave comedy scenes. Fave dramatic scenes is in "Ariel" when they're in the hospital and Simon is looking at the holographic scan of River's brain. It's that scene when not only Jayne and Simon, but the audience realizes the severity of what the Academy did to River. I know the holograph was a CG image, and it must have been a bitch for Sean to react to nothing in front of him, but they manage to pull that off so well that you think what you're seeing is real.

"We would destroy the Cybermen with ONE Dalek. You are superior in only one respect."
"What is that?"
"You are better at dying."

Trash talk between a Cyberman and a Dalek. It doesn't get any better than that.

Actually, now i think of the scene in Jaynestown where he realizes he has to peel all that tape off of himself, and the childish look he gets is just so priceless.

Simon: "Were there any Feds?"
mal: "No, no Feds, just an honest brawl between folk."

I prefer it a few seconds later when he rios the first piece of tape off, the barely audiable whimper he makes is hi larious.

My overall fav scene is from The Message, the whole cow feotus scene always has me laffing.

Zoe: If you die, can I have your share?
Mal: Yes.

I also like right before that in that same scene:

Mal: (about the Alliance troops on the train) Makes it more fun!
Zoe: Sir, I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

And then another good one is in The Message with Jayne getting his "pretty cunning" hat, and also with River's "My food is problematic."
But then there are so many good scenes that it is kinda hard to choose a favorite...

Okay, for comedic scene it's gotta be in Serenity. With Wash and the inevitable betrayal. That's like the funniest scene to me. Of course there are like twenty other ones, many involving Wash and otherwise, and of course, every single one mentioned before this post.

For most dramatic part it's almost all of OiS. From when Zoe saves Kaylee then on when Wash refuses to leave his wife's side. I get teary eyed just thinking about it. It's moments like that, that make for great television.
