I'm sure others have said it but it's hands down the "scary dark side Mal" scene in Ariel Where Mal whacks Jayne with the wrench and locks him in the hatch. We see just why you should not mess with his people particularly if you are one of his people coz he's gonna expect much more from you.

Simon explaining who River was in the pilot. A beautiful scene with the montage of River and ending with Mal's grim threat on what the future holds for them if Kaylee dies.

I've often wondered if he was totally bluffing, or just getting a little revenge for Kaylee and would never have done that. It didn't seem like his crew would have stood for it. The more I think about it the more I wonder if this was one of the reasons the pilot was rejected. Mal's threat seems totally heartless after we find out what was done to River and what lengths Simon went to save her. I can see how some might have totally lost interest in Malcolm Reynolds after that. I didn't, because I don't believe he'd actually do it whether he meant it at the time or not, based on what I saw of him the rest of the series. However the suits watching the pilot wouldn't have known that and come to the conclusion the show was going to be so dark few people could stomach it.

Just imagine Mal forcing Simon and the poor traumatized River into the airlock, then depressurizing it and their eyeballs pop, their brains come out their ears and their organs explode. Would he have watched? Must those poor kids die simply for trying to escape from merciless Alliance machinations?

Jayne- Any one remember her coming at me with a butchers knife?
Wash-Whacky fun.
Jayne-You want to go little man?
Wash- Only if it's someplace with candlelight.

Anything that has wash making fun of jayne.

I love it! It's like wiping your ass with silk.

I just want to continue to thank everyone for keeping this thread alive for 19 months with your observations and opinions.

Not long after I originally posted it, I found in the Archives a thread with the same topic. I never meant to plagorize the topic, and I officially give props to the original writer here and now.

My own personal favorite scenes change over time, although it doesn't matter what episode I'm watching 'cause Firefly is one DVD I can pop in the player and know I'll be satisfied thoroughly.

Hello Jongsstraw:

I know what you mean by favorite scenes changing over time. If people were to ask on any given day I would probably have a different answer each time. As seen here, there are a lot of great scenes.

I can see why people continue visit here. It is nice to read through the other Browncoat's choices and have the scenes appear in your mind. Simon telling River, "It is time to wake up", and Kaylee patting Serenity's engine room wall after doing a Crazy Ivan. These blend together to make a great series.

It is nice that the new people discover this thread and add their own. Gives the rest of us a good reason to revisit it.

in War Stories.. "No power in the verse can stop me".. With the lighting from behind Summer kinda looks like an angel or something and River and Kaylee just stands there looking at eachother.. Everytime I see that, I get a chill and I want them to start kissing eachother

"Bam, said the lady"
