Mal, seeing Serenity for the first time across the spaceship lot, and I knew she was his ... and I just got lost in the moment. My DVD kinda gets blurry at that point, since I've watched it so much ...

What was the first moment that had me fall in love with FF?
Well since I didn’t see the series when it first aired and I didn’t see the BDM until it came out on dvd I can’t say that any of this hooked me to the show. I didn’t see the series played out of order and Serenity was good, very good in fact but if it had been all there was I could have been happy and never looked back.
It wasn’t until we rented the dvd series and watched the pilot eps. I believe it was the scene where Kaylee takes the long desiring look at the strawberry then bites it. That had to be the sexiest thing I’d seen on tv in a long time and it lead me to believe that there was truly something intelligent about the writing. My wife looked at me and said “ Must be a MAN thing and laughed. She was right…lol. Here was a show smart enough to know not to take itself to serious. I like that. After that I was becoming hooked even more.
2) When Kaylee was shot by Dobson ( Hell no they can’t kill this pretty girl off, I said)
3) When Mal tells Simon that “Kaylee’s dead” then it turns out that he was only pulling the docs leg.(hilarious)
4) When Jayne tells Mal “Pain is scary.”(classic)
and finally
5) the smooth ending
Yep, after that I could tell that all my coats in the closet were turning a brownish color.

Various moments from the pilot. I remember thinking Wash's dinosaurs were a cute touch and it struck me as typical off-the-wall Whedonesque humour I remembered from years of watching Buffy, but it was probably "Kaylee's dead!" - it was an important moment in making you warm to Mal (that'd he'd have a laugh with his crew in a serious situation, and that he'd mess with Simon's head). Also, the moment where Inara lays her hand on Book's head in sympathy at his grief over his part in Dobson's apparent death - it was a beautifully played (and subtle) character moment. From then on, the complexities of the BDHs really intrigued me and pulled me into the series.

I watched them on television when they first showed. as everyone knows, they were shown out of order and The train Job was shown fist. When Mal kicked Crow through the engine, I lost it. LOL

Pilot episode, shoot out with Patience. When she says, "Don't take another step!" and then Mal shoots the horse and it falls on her... I was just awed by his no-nonsense attitude and his simultaneous devotion to his "family." Not to mention all the funny jokes!
But I didn't really fall in love until a whole day after watching the pilot, when I realized I'd been thinking about it all day, and how believable the setting was, and how well-written and acted the characters were. And how epic it was for a TV show... I think I was sitting in class when I thought, "That show is gonna be my drug from now on..."

You know, it is so true for me as well... Sometimes I'll just watch fanvids on Youtube and cry and cry, thinking about how much I love the show because of what it stands for...
I get especially teared up during scenes where the whole crew is together, laughing. You can imagine the love in the room so vividly.

When Mal kicked crow into the engine, and the response from the next guy. I was hooked. Firefly, long may she fly.

Two moments which made me laugh out loud and think: Hooray, a sci-fi series with a sense of humour!
From the pilot episode:
MAL: I believe that woman's planning to shoot me again.
JAYNE: Here's a little concept I been workin' on. Why don't we shoot her first?
WASH: It is her turn.
And from The Train Job:
INARA: What did I say to you about barging into my shuttle?
MAL: That it was manly and impulsive?
INARA: Except that the exact word I used was "don't".

Hi everyone! I am new here. I watched the show for the first time on DVD a few months ago. Therefore, I got to watch Serenity first as it was meant to be. The part that made be go "This is the best show ever" was when Mal shot Dobson. I've been addicted ever since.

My cartridge fell out of my gun...
Bushwacked. When Serenity gets boarded by the Alliance and Simon & River are forced to suit up and and hide on the ship's hull to evade being captured, there is this scene, when the frame zooms out from the dining area to the outside of the ship. Simon is obviously uncomfortable. At some point he glances at River for some reason, and the camera switches to her, all smiling and fascinated... And then we get to see what she's looking at.
Space
In all it's so very infinite blackness and glory.
The music plays a key role in making this very moment a magic one, as does the low thunder-ish sound they added to it during the «space panorama» shot, which gives it a sheer sense of imensity. Wonder. No to mention beautiful acting and camera work.
Beauty. Vastitude. Magic. Firefly <3
