Every second of every episode, with people talking or not.That's what makes the Firefly a classic

Jayne: "Know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I beat you with till you understand who's in command."

I think when it comes to Simon, he will do anything and stand up to anyone if River is in danger. Like if Stitch was threatening River, Simon could have handled him.

I'm gonna go over all these and capture some stills from my DVD. Anyway, here's a couple of my favorites that HAVE been mentioned, and some more that haven't...

Recap:
-Serenity: at the beginning, when Mal stares out at the sky, watching all the Alliance ships raining down fire, knowing that the war is over and he has lost it all.
-Bushwacked: Simon and River hide outside the ship from the feds. Simon can't bear to look at the endless nothingness, but River has a look of joy on her face, like she can see heaven from here.
-Ariel: At the beginning, when Simon samples the bad rice and grimaces. Also look at River's face, looking up at her silly brother and his silly rice. "Told ya."
-Jaynestown: When the crew is introduced to the statue of Jayne. My favorite is Kaylee, that fascinated look on her face as she says "Everywhere I go his eyes keep following me."

And some of my own favorites not mentioned yet:
-The Train Job: The first one I thought of, I nice Inara/Mal moment. After Mal and Zoe get back, Inara offers her shuttle to take the medicine back. Mal declines, noting "I ain't looking to get hit again." The look on Inara's face is great. She kind of looks down and bits her lip, almost proud that Mal felt that slap so well.
-Bushwacked: The whole practical joke Jayne plays on Simon with the suit. I love how Kaylee is so nice and walks over to help him get the helmet off.
-A couple for guest-star Commander Harkin. As Wash says “It was the legs. You can put that down,” Harkin looks down as if about to do just that. Also, when Kaylee is giving Harkin a lecture about G-lines and such, Harkin looks seriously intimidated.
-Our Mrs. Reynolds: Inara: During the whole "I only fell" debacle (love that word), Inara looks like a teenager praying she doesn’t get caught.
-Out of Gas: Inara: As Simon prepares to hit Zoe with a shot of adrenaline, Inara gasps and turns away.
-Jayne: When Mal slams Wash against the wall, Jayne takes a step back.
-Mal: As Mal is giving everyone the "What we got" speech, he touches a large pipe affectionately.
-Jayne: In flashback, as Mal is trying to offer tough-guy Jayne a better deal, the well-armed thug cannot hold back his interest. ("You got your own room? No? You share a bunk?!")
-Ariel: Zoe: As Jayne is racking his tiny brain to memorize the script, Zoe has her hands worriedly pressed together as Jayne says "I’ll get it."
-Mal: Knowing that Jayne is the traitor, Mal knocks him out with a wrench and looks down in disdain.
-Trash: As Saffron is discussing the plan, Wash looks horrendously confused, but Kaylee is nothing but interested.
-At the end, You gotta love the look on Mal’s face as he is standing there, nekkid, and he just puts his hands over his head and smiles. “Good day.” Puts me on the floor laughing every time.

Every well-bred petty crook knows that the small, concealable weapons always go to the far left of the place setting.

I like the look of pure disgust on Book's face during Jayne's awful "gynecologist" remarks in Serenity.

Here's a classic, and I don't think it's been mentioned: River biting at her Ice planet in The Message.

Jayne, when the fed tells him his hat looks stupid.

Jayne, when he's mostly immobilized during The Train Job, because "he's heavy" and they couldn't get him to the infirmary.

End of Ariel, when Mal hugs Kaylee.

Mal settling down to die in Out of Gas

I enjoy the moment in Serenity when Kaylee says, "I love my captain" and kisses him. The look on Mal's face. He gets half a smile. To me, that says, "The pretty girl kissed me. Shiny."

It's such a little thing, but I like it.

As I was capturing stills, here's a few more non-verbal moments I discovered:

Serenity:
-Simon & River: After Dobson has been killed, Simon goes to River. River recoils, and Simon notices that the gun is still in his hand.

Out of Gas:
-Mal: In Kaylee's flashback, watch Mal tilt his head back and forth between Bester and Kaylee.
-When Mal offers Kaylee the job, Bester kind of taps her on the shoulder proudly, and then seems to realize “Hey, that’s my job!”
-The doors open to let the other crew in, and a gust of wind blows over Mal, equalizing the pressure.

Ariel:
-While Simon, Mal, Zoe, and Jayne are going over the script, Jayne attempts to work on what looks like a cheat sheet. Simon snatches it away. As Jayne keeps trying to memorize his lines, Simon crumples up the cheat sheet and glares at him.

War Stories:
-When Zoe starts to tell her story, Wash has this look on his face like “Oh, here we go again,” that he’s trying to hold back.
-Niska tries to corner Zoe by making her choose between Wash and Mal. She immediately chooses Wash, and Niska doesn’t know what to say.
-As Zoe is carrying Wash away, Wash calls back to Mal. Mal just shakes his head. “Just go. Don’t worry about me.”
-Ever the hard-hearted soldier, Zoe slowly accepts Mal’s severed ear without even a twitch on her face.

Every well-bred petty crook knows that the small, concealable weapons always go to the far left of the place setting.

I never thought it was a cheat sheet, i always assumed he was just doodiling (probably something naughty ) and he look Simon shot him was more of a 'pay attention, this is serious' look.

Prob'ly already been said, but...
In The Message, when they're all staring flabbergasted ("Never has my flabber been so gasted!" -Frankie Howard.) at Tracey's 'corpse' for the first time. Then Jayne sticks his head in and frowns.
JAYNE: "What'd you all order a dead guy for?"

MAL:Well, look at this! Appears them boys at Fox have decided to cancel us. What does that make them?
ZOE:Big damn idiots, sir.
MAL:Ain't they just.
