I can't say if it is may favorite scene, but it's the one that made me say "yup, this is a great show". It is in the pilot when Mal walks onto Serenity and shoots the Fed (can't remember his name) right in the head, without a moments pause, or mercy. He was a problem that they didn't have time for, so instead of talking it out, Mal took care of it.

Oh, just thought of another one, same episode, at the end when Book tells Inara that he is on the wrong ship.

There are two.

The end of OoG.
"Y'all gonna be here when I wake up?"
"We'll be right here."
"Good. That's good."
Mal's ship is empty without his crew.

And the scene in OiS when Mal and River are outside the ship. I believe it is the only time in the show when my two characters actually talk to each other. The first time Mal treats River as a whole person.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Op: You're fighting a war you've already lost.
Mal: Yeah, well I'm known for that.

Train Job, when Zoe tells Mal that he has a problem with his brain being missing.

Don't remember exactly which episode, with Jayne and Wash talking, and Jayne says "She's in Congress?". And there's also the infamous
"We live on a spaceship, dear"
"So?"
exchange. Of course, I also really like River's communing with the cows, which ends in Mal saying "Is it bad that what she's saying makes perfect sense to me?"

I can just go on and on (as I'm sure you're noticing ) Truth to tell, I don't think I can isolate just one episode to be the best. This saying could have been said with Firefly in mind: The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts.

Mine is probably, from the first episode. Infact, I have a couple from that episode.

1) When you see the Browncoats lose the war. Mal's face is just stricken in awe. He can't believe the loss they just have faced. Seeing the ships come in, knowing they're "humped" as Wash would say. (RIP <3)

2) When Simon is introducing himself and his sister to the crew. Where he says "I am very smart. Gifted, I believe, is the term." Where's he's talking about River, showing all the scenes of him showing her around, giving her medicine. His entire monologue is very believable and very well done.

(I love Simon, so much, but that scene is EXCELLENT.)

"You are pretty funny."
"And you're pretty...pretty."
"What did you just say?"
"I said that you were pretty."

There are so many excellent scenes it's difficult to pick, and you keep getting reminded of other scenes as you read the posts but there is one that always stands out for me everytime I think of it or read about it.

"You found me broken".

Nuff said.

"I don't believe in suicide, but if you'd like to try it it might cheer me up to watch."

There are so many to choose from. But I'll go with the scene in the cargo bay in 'our Mrs. Reynolds'. I'M NOT A MONSTER!!!

The conversation in Trash when Saffron is telling them about the new job. The whole converation is great!

"Oh please, nobody died last time..."

First post!

I have a bit of trouble choosing just one, but if I absolutely have to, it's the title sequence for the BDM (okay, so it's not technically the series, but still). After living Firefly-less for three years, seeing the old girl again - accompanied by that gorram awesome music - was frickin' amazing. I'm not sure why - there's no dialogue, action, or anything other than a ship entering atmo, but for reasons I can't quite put into words it is one of my favorite TV or movie moments of all time.

I agree that is is VERY hard to pick just one favorite scene and love all the scenes already mentioned the dance in Safe....the confrontation between Mal and Jayne at the end of Ariel, I also love the conversation between Jayne, Mal and the bandits at the beginning of Our Ms Reynolds but I think for me the most poignant scene comes near the end of Safe when realizing he can not save River from the crowd he joins her on the platform, places his arms around her and says "Light it" followed of course, by the BDH scene where Mal announces "Yeah, but she is OUR witch so cut her the hell down." This scene shows so much...it shows Simon's total willingness to protect River even past life its self and that even though their own father deserted them...Mal never will
