Top the whole scene off with River's coda ... "I can kill you with my mind."

I like this bit, cuckoo!!! as Nathan and Alan call her on the commentaries....I see dead people!!!

Another one for me, kind of a sweet moment, it looks so natural and comfortable, when Simon and Kaylee are talking about him becoming a doctor and singing on a statue after graduating, and she is sat with her feet across him. I like that very much.

And of course, I mentioned it previously, but, right at the start, that very bleak moment when Mal stares right out the window in the bunker and sees all his hopes dying and we see his whole world change. Gets me every single time, cos of the acting and the fantastic music, that and the end of the Message are probably my two very favourite moments from the show.

It's his little sister and she's... "Still sick with the dop-long (sp)".

"Damplung." Don't sound like the funnest of sicknesses, does it?

I nominate Book's laugh as he chops away with his knife. In the context of the vicious taunting ("Now where does that put you?") immediately prior, it seems downright maniacal... and our awareness that it's actually innocent may be part of what makes it so creepy.

My Fireflygasms come from

a) War Stories
When Wash says "Bastards not gonna get days"
The look in his eyes is intense.

b)Ariel
When Jayne says "Don't tell em what I did. Make something up"

Although "Is it Christmas?" is a close third :)

Yeah, family. My all time favorite Firefly moment comes at the end of Safe. After everything, after the "big damn heroes" rescue, after Mal explains the facts to Simon, the final shot is everyone around the dinner table. They could have held that shot for 5 minutes as far as I'm concerned. It's one of j's big themes, strangers coming together to form a family (that functions better than most I've seen).

You ever notice during that scene around the table (at the end of Safe) when they're passing a bowl of buns around, Jayne takes one then passes the bowl, and River, sitting beside him, calmly reaches over and takes it off his plate and starts eating it. So "family".

Too many to recount:
Bushwacked -
Alliance officer: you fought with Captain Reynolds in the war?
Zoe: I fought with a lot of people in the war.
Alliance officer: and your husband?
Zoe: Fought with him sometimes, too.

Out of Gas -
Jayne: Tell us where the stuff is so I can shoot you.
Mal: Point of Interest: offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Safe -
Zoe: The Captain'll come up with a plan.
Kaylee: That's good, right?
Zoe: Apparently you're not recalling some of his previous plans.

War Stories -
River: What am I?
Simon: You are my beautiful sister.
River: I threw up (pause) on your bed.
Simon: Yep, definitely my sister!

And Heart of Gold - the whole double entendra of the scene culminating with my signature -
Mal: Not altogether wise sneakin' up on a fellow when he's handling his weapon.
Inara: I'm sure I've heard that said, but perhaps the dining area isn't the place for that sort of thing.
Mal: What do you mean? It's the only place with a big enough table.
Inara: of course. In that case ...

"Every well bred, petty crook knows that the small, concealable weapons always go to the far left of the place setting."

Hey, Serena, thanks! I totally missed that, I thought Jayne was just being obnoxious taking another one.

Just watched 'Jaynestown' again and watched Wash when he and Mal come back to Serenity...Wash is drunk and just watch his face, all smeared with Mudder's milk, when Mal's explaining to Zoe about Jaynestown...He's a crack up

There are just SO MANY moments to this show...Gorram Fox mother humpers !!!

I'm not positive, but I think the line was "This must be what GOING MAD feels like.

If I HAD to pick my very favorite moment in the whole series (but there are so many!!) it would be the scene between Mal and Kaylee in "Serenity" when Kaylee's waking up after being shot. Their whole conversation is so touching, and it's great when she says, "You just have to have faith in people." I love that scene.
