I'm new! I love firefly, best show ever, I wish it came back, but with the entire crew :(

The scene that comes to mind right away is from the movie(serenity). After barely escaping from the Reavers, River is sitting in the floating car thingy, eyes open and has a lost face on her. And then Simon rushes over to River to see if shes okay and she responds by saying: "I swallowed a bug" in a worried expression. I LOVE that small scene. So cool.

Oh and the time when River shoots 3 people with closed eyes is the most kick-ass scene :D

I love the entire show.....

My favorite too, but a different emphasis (not that I am not aware of the cuteness)

The scene that got me was the song in Jaynestown, and I love the Kaylee "my good girl" moment.

But I love the end of the hawking for passengers scene. I love the obvious non Star Trekkian certainty that there will be a role for lawn chairs in the future.

But mostly I adore the look on her face, her openness and certainty that everyone should want to get aboard Serenity, that there is no better place to be, and her puzzlement that the rest of the verse just does not get it - as they ready the door to close.

Sort of a crystalization of the how I feel about the whole show.

See how I'm not hitting him, I think I've grown!

My favorite scene is that wonderful silhouette of River standing in that doorway, bloody axe in hand. Makes you go a big "Yesss!"

That's not incense

I looked at the question, and thought, hmm... favorite scene... and the entire Firefly season and Serenity blended into one huge scene, lol...

I am a huge fan of River, so I'd have to say an scene with her doing something in it, especially in Jaynestown the three scenes highlighting River "fixing the bible" Books hair, and her ranting on about how Books brains arent safe and the hair "will still be there... waiting." I saw those parts and about died I was laughing so hard!

That, and after Simon starts giving River the medications and finds her on his bed and she rants on about apple bits being chaos and she casually says "... and I threw up on your bed..."

and the fade out shot, I think it's from Safe: everybody is sitting around the table eating. They pass a basket of bread or rollS. Jayne takes a big hunk, passes the basket on. River reaches over, steals the bread from his plate. Jayne catches her, growls, grabs the basket back. A little throw-away moment, but priceless.

I LOVE that part! I laughed my butt off and backed it up twice to watch it again. One of those subtle things that makes you love the show so much.
Another subtle thing I love is another Jayne thing. The scene in Serenity when they're flying through the field of Reaver ships listening to the screaming. At one point when they show Jayne, the way he's holding his gun is so different than normal. It's not at all the confident "I'm gonna shoot some people" way that he usually holds it....it's more like, I don't know, the way a kid holds his/her favorite stuffed animal that keeps the monsters away. Shows that even Jayne is afraid.....or at the very least, quite nervous with the situation.

"He was mostly brave.....MOSTLY??!?!...he was brave..."

Dont believe after all this time my favourite scene hasnt come up.The guy who defends Kaylee in Shindig. "THats a mighty fine dress.It must have taken a dozen slaves a dozen days to get you into that dress.---Course your daddy tells me it only takes a schoolboy's wink to get you out of it again." Absolutely priceless.!!!

Probably the Mal/Zoe flashback in Out of Gas - the lead into the scene with Mal mashed up against the grating and then just the sheer good-natured comedy of it all.

"What's that, sir?"
"Freedom is what."
"I meant, what's *that*?"
"Oh yeah, just step around that. I think something must have been living in here."

Either that or the Mal/Jayne attempted bartering sequence in Our Mrs. Reynolds. Pretty much sums up Jayne and Mal's ideologies up a treat, to me at least. My favourite line of it is definitely,

"This the best gun made by man. It has *extreme* sentimental value."

Who else but Jayne Cobb?

Or my favourite could be the end of The Message?

Aaarggghhh, I don't know, this is waaay too difficult. Every time I think of one, four more pop up and taunt me. To borrow and tweak a phrase, "My brain is being problematic."

For River scenes, the last few times through the series have me hinged on "I never thought you'd come for me." She was referring to waiting for Simon to save her from the Institute.
After her rude introduction to the crew, it seems unfair that many of these moments with Simon are not witnessed by the others aboard.
