Sophie's Choice was harsh.
Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum.
Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.

I have to say that I have never ever cried in any film the way I did in Serenity
I was shocked by Wash's death
(er.... spoiler alert? LOL)
And when Zoe said 'he's not coming' the tears started to flow...
when I laughed at Jayne thinking he might be the only one to survived I mentally shook my fist at Joss for making me laugh while I was crying...
But then when Zoe stepped in front of the line, in a suicidal attack directly into the Reavers I started to sob aloud (I shoved my coat in my mouth so I wouldn't make noise and annoy my neighbors...).
I've never cried so hard in a movie before.

Okay, guess who's never cried at a movie!
Or at Firefly. Or Serenity, which is so much more than a movie.
So my first one was so TOTALLY about bad timing. I was listening to the audio recording of the movie adaptation of a Star Trek TNG movie -- (Think it was... gah. Be right back with the right one.) Nemesis. Don't ask. So, lovely scene, which I shall put in spoilers for those who care about strange movies in the sci-fi genre of the Trek fandom...
Select to view spoiler:
So, lying in bed, listening to the scene where Data's floating through space. I pause it JUST AFTER he misses the first bit of the space ship. I thought Data was dead. I don't even really like Data on a level enough to cry. Silly, stupid me thought that was the end. I don't know how, I don't know why. If I hadn't paused the farking tape, I would have gone on to him actually getting on the ship!
Stupid me. YEah.
So, second time I cried for 'fiction' was Doctor Who. Don't look at me like that. We'll go lovely spoilers here again, just in case.
Select to view spoiler:
The season two finale of Doctor Who is a two-parter. Army of Ghosts, part 1; Doomsday, part 2. So, lovely episode, Rose is standing on a beach at the beginning. "This is the story of how I died." Blah. She does this BOTH beginnings of the episode. I watched this on Skiffy (Before I knew the intarwebs held episodes the day after they aired in Britain. Now I know, and something tells me this is how I'm going to watch season 4. *grin*), when, premier night, they show both together. Yay for Skiffy. I didn't cry at anything in Army of Ghosts. Actually, I was fine until Doomsday. Fine until we get to the scene were Rose has come back, we've attached the funny handle weightless things to the wall, and we've opened the breach.
Damned Murray Gold is good at his job: the score. The song in the background, once Rose is sucked through... GAH. Sadness. Insert tears here. It's all: "Damn. Now we're separate. Separate universes. Fun. Let's have angst and tear-jerk conversation on a beach. And it'll be named after a plot point from last season: Bad Wolf Bay (IN Norwegian!) Oh, and I'm going to try to tell you something Rose, but I'm not going to finish, 'cos I'm a git. Or Russel T. Davies is. I'm not certain which." So, tears there too. And if that wasn't enough, my mother asked me what was wrong, and immediately after the end, I go to my room. Still crying, and go to sleep. Crying.
Wake in the morning. Eat breakfast, realize, ZOMG, my brother's watching it on TiVo. Stop eating breakfast, 'cos I'm crying into my cereal, just HEARING it from a room away.
See, it was that that convinced me I had emotions. At all. Well, emotions at television. I've watched it since, still get sad. Don't cry. However, not telling when I'm going to cry again... mainly I just get scared, down in the pit of my stomach for a character. Like, um... yeah.
Nice ramble there. Hope you guys care enough... and that my post makes any sense without the spoilers.

May not be smart, and it may not please you, but you're definitely gonna see what I have to say.
Put this in your sig if you had a favorite show that may have been named Firefly and was canceled by FOX.
