What moment(s) in Firefly made you jump and/or exclaim holy crap? (or something holy crap related)
When i got my box set (in late March, it was a birthday present, man, i love birthdays!)
I finally watched all the way through and the first time watching Objects in Space (besides its original air date) after Mal says "We're totally alone" and then Early's ship jumps in to the picture, i jumped because i'd forgotten about it... and then immediately afterwards i remembered that i'd done the same thing the very first time i'd watched it.
there was one other during Serenity but i'm not sure what it was...
Do you have any moments that just scared/startled you?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
MAL: This is my scrap of nowhere. You go on and find your own.
SAFFRON: You can't just leave me here, on this
lifeless piece of crap moon...
MAL: Sure I can.
SAFFRON: I'll die.
MAL: Well, as a courtesy, you might start
getting busy on that, cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

Yep, when Simon starts the autopsy on Tracey and Tracey wakes up and Mal jumps on him to restrain him and then *gasp* Mal is sitting on a naked dead man! That was shocking/fascinating on many levels.
A lot of things that Jubal Early said also really got to me. They didn't make me jump, but they were so damn creepy, the way he realizes so easily everyone's fears. When he's threatening Kaylee, it's just so darn scary.

Haha actually I was only half surprised (if that is an actual state) but when simon was making the insition so veeery slowly I had a feeling something was amiss...

"Ariel". Last Scene. Mal and Jayne.
There was a cast sheet leaked on the internet the summer before the show premiered that listed Adam Baldwin as recurring, signed for only 10 eps or something. So I figured then he was the Doyle/Tara/Jesse of the series -- the "regular" Joss loves to kill off to mindfuck us. Obviously, Adam's recurring status has since proven inaccurate, but I was watching that last scene in "Ariel" with my jaw on the floor convinced Mal would space Jayne.
My first reaction when he in fact did not was disappointment, but it has since become one of my favorite scenes. Ever.

The ep with the dead body hitting the wind-shield on the Bridge scared the S--T out of me as I was watching it in the dark and for the first time as well!
Reavers like to hide in the shadows. So watch your backs y'all!

That last scene in Ariel is by far my favorite scene as well. I think it goes to show how Mal actually does in fact keep his crew in line and keep their loyalty.
Forgot to say my Holy Crap! moment. When I first watched Out of Gas, and Mal falls on the metal grate and then you see him bleeding, that was a Holy Crap! Moment for me because I honestly had no idea how they were going to finish the episode, plus it didn't help that it was my first episode ever watched and didn't realize that people got shot all the time.

That scene just doesnt work for me. The mass of a human body impacting a spacecraft at spacecrafty velocities...... would probably have torn a hole in the hull at the very least the body should have gone S P L A T T!!!!

Howdy,
For me, it was during Bushwhacked when we all look up and see what the Reavers did.
Also, the body/windshield scene makes me jump every time, even though I am expecting it.
Mal-licious

actually, i agree. for the sake of realism the body should have shattered or something like that, right? it should be really cold in space, the body should be frozen. for the sake of drama, it has more impact (no pun intended) the way it was done.
as for "holy crap" moment, i would have to say when Mal shoots Dobson in the head. it was so quick and although it was the practical thing to do, it was unexpected! it certainly scared River! hahahahaha!
