From my girl...
The moment in OiS where River steps into Mal's arms after disposing of Early and his ship.

I think it was Serenity, just before River says, "I didn't think you'd come". Her face contorts so awfully, you would have thought she was being gutted.

Mal's expression at the end of the into to Our Mrs. Reynolds. He's trying to wrap his brain around the concept that he's married and just can't process the idea. Caption should read "he undertands, he doesn't comprehend".
River when she bends over to pick up the stick (gun) sitting on the floor of the cargo bay. IMO just about a perfect personification of her character. That is an incredibly beautiful shot.
When Jayne is drugged up and imobilized on the med table. The look on his face when River leans into the room and says that she can kill him with her brain...priceless. I think he just about $#*! kittens right then and there.

I loved when Simon was going to give River a shot and she stuck her tongue out at the needle....
In Out of Gas when Mal says "Oh, there is kissing then?" The way they grin at each other....
Book trying to lift the weights while Jayne is distracted by the Counselor and Inara...
River's scream when she sees Books hair and as he looks around the corner and Zoe sees him... priceless!
The strange little smile River has when she gets the pages from Book....
The expression on Simon's face as he looks at Jayne's statue and the look Jayne gives everybody as they discuss it....
The look Mal gives Jayne when he sees the getup Jayne is wearing before they leave Serenity to go into Canton...
HEAVENS! There are sooo many!
You're gonna come with us...

The short, annoyed shrug and head nod to the left that Mal gives Jayne, Simon, and River after shooting in the door at the back of the hospital in "Ariel". It's as if he's suggesting they stop goofing off and come on. And he is.

No one's mentioned Simon and Kaylee and Tracey's wake in the end of The Message. Just them holding hands.
But these are all great.
I love River dancing in Safe.

I think Heart of Gold is one of the poorer episodes because of the cheesiness (never the less I still rate it as far better than most of the dross on tv). However, I love the expressions on River's face as she observes the prostitute during labour. Sheer class!
Trouble with the righteous is...their always right!

Oh, I love the look of dread on Simon's face when Jayne tells him to get over to the derelict ship in Bushwacked and he realizes he has to get into his space suit.
His look of anxiety and the sound of his breathing as he makes his way over to the ship.
And, when he gets over to the others and sees them all standing around looking at him and he realizes that Jayne was yanking him.
And then Kaylee comes over and points out how he has the suit on wrong!!
The whole sequence was priceless!

There is a quick moment in Bushwhacked, when the gang is playing Hoopball, Mal and Wash struggle for the ball, Mal ends up on the bottom and he tweaks Wash's nose to get away! It's very quick, and I've never heard anyone else mention it.
When Simon is sewing up Mal at the end of the episode, Mal’s yelp of pain followed by Simon trying to smother his surprised smile.
The end of Ariel. When Simon gives River the new medicine, the look she gives him, a little uncertain, trusting, almost as if she’s looking into him to see how she will turn out.

In the Train Job right after River says, "This isn't home." Her facial expression gets this sad deeply scared look. It's absolutely heart breaking. Seconds later, it's back to neutral, as she takes everything in.
