MAL
"Nice shot."

"I was aiming for his head"

That part always chokes me up too! how is it that other people cant see this show for what it is? i dont get them. its like people who dont get buffy, i mean i was one of those people they dont watch yet feel free to express an opinion which it totally flawed. a show that had a run of 15 episodes yet could bring so many people to tears, laughter and sheer exault and joy has to be something special right? yet the cretins would rather watch trash like american idol and shows like tru calling drag on forever (no offense to eliza or doug whom i love with a passion) when a show thats a pure slice of t.v heaven is dumped... thats the sort of injustice that brings me to tears.end rant.

Concerning River and Simon, you just nailed it for me as well. Lots of things I like about this show... LOTS. But the devotion and bond that extists between Simon and River is , to me, the most endearing qaulity of the show.

For me the biggest tear jerker moment is either in War Stories when River says "No power in the 'verse can stop me." Or in Serenity when Kaylee is lying on the table after being shot and Mal is holding her hand. And Kaylee says "Your a nice guy Captain." Then Mal says "No I'm not. I'm a mean old man." Looking like he's ready to cry. Basically that whole conversation gets me.

One of my favorite moments is when Mal wakes up at the end of Out Of Gas. His concern for Wash and when he is about to go back to sleep and asks: "Will you all be here when I wake up?"
Gets me every time.

Another of my favorites is at the end of Heart of Gold. The conversation where is seems as though Mal is about to tell Inaura his feelings for her and she tells him she is leaving. Tears. There is so many poignant moments in the series....the more I watch my DVD's, the more emotional I get when I watch.

Welcome to the board UCLAMathGuy! Great to have another fan w/ us.

I know exactly what you mean about the way this show grabs you. It is like that for me. From the opening theme until the credits roll, I am enthralled. This show will make you laugh, make you get choked up, and will make you want to cheer.

Now, with the movie in the works, and the potential for a springboard into a series return, we Browncoats have a lot to celebrate.

another very emotional moment is in War Stories, when Wash breaks down back in the shuttle and tells Zoe about how Mal kept him alive. she tells him Niska's gonna torture Mal for days and he struggles back up and declares "Bastard's not gonna get days!"
makes the hair on the back of my neck stand every time.

and I also love the River-Simon applebits scene but that one was already mentioned above.

"Will you all be here when I wake up?" I forgot about that one! That's a huge moment for me!

And every time Simon calls River mei-mei. Does he do it more than once or have I just seen the episode so many times...
