If I'm going for something that hasn't been mentioned yet, I just about died when Inara announced she was leaving in whatever episode that was.

I love everyone's holy crap moments, but mine was totally when Niska cut off Mal's ear. I was totally squirming while watching that.

-Seeing Kaylee shot and apparently die in Serenity.
-The body in Niska's office in The Train Job, and his henchman getting sucked into Serenity's engines.
-Mal stabbing Atherton Wing repeatedly in Shindig (followed by the immortal lines: "You didn't have to wound that man." 'Yeah, I know. That was just funny.').
-The opening of Out of Gas.
-The torture sequences in War Stories. Also, River's massacre.
-The corpse in the parcel at the start of The Message (along with the greatest line in Firefly history: "Why'd y'all order a dead guy for?")
-Serenity speaking with River's voice in Objects in Space.

My truest holy crap moment was during the first half of Serenity; I believe the crew had landed on Persephone, and somewhere amongst all that "here's the world we landed on" stuff, I realised that this show was far, far greater than I could possibly have imagined.

My first 'Holy Crap' moment on Firefly was in Serenity, when you see all of those Alliance ships landing at the beginning. You just get the feeling that Mal's world is ending...
But the one that really sticks in my mind is in 'War Stories', when River just kills those three guys without raising a sweat. I actually uttered "Holy S
..." when that happened.

"BADGER: You think you're better than other people.
MAL: Just the ones I'm better than."

"MAL: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous.
SIMON: Yes, I'm very proud."

A couple of mine:
-Bushwacked: the body hitting the cockpit glass. I wasn't expecting it & it made me jump a bit.
-Heart of Gold: when the laser beam starts cutting through the walls, narrowly missing Mal.
-War Stories: when Niska cuts off Mal's ear.
-War Stories: when River guns down the three goons w/ three shots & her eyes closed.
"May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."

When Simon, River and Jayne are running away from the Blue Hand Men and you see the Brain Melter used for the first time. When I heard the fed's screaming in pain it just wigged me out. Also, when Kaylee gets shot in Serenity.
"When you can't run...you crawl...and when you can't crawl...when you can't do that..."
"Find someone to carry you"

A lot of these have already been mentioned, but...
-- In Serenity, when Lawrence-the-Fed has the gun to River and Mal just walks in and shoots him and keeps walking. (Also, my first "oh my god, this captain kicks moment" since I never saw the show on TV and so I actually got to see the pilot as the first episode.)
-- In War Stories when River shoots the 3 guys without looking.
-- In Ariel when the blue hands use that device to melt everyone from the inside out.
-- In Ariel when Mal is going to kill Jayne. I can't remember the exact moment when I said "Holy crap" (or whatever stronger phrase I used in its place 
), but I it was definitely a tense scene.
"I'll be in my bunk."

Awesome! That's a great holy crap moment. I just hooked my brother's family on the show this weekend (takin' my DVDs on the road!
) and I think that he had the same moment you did. When the crew was walking around Persephone and you get your first real feel for the show's 'verse, I think he was hooked at that very moment."I'll be in my bunk."
