Hard to say...
But it probably involves YoSaffBridge.

I love the scenes where Simon calls River 'meimei'. I just want to cry and drown in my tears whenever I watch it.

There are too many amazing scenes to just choose one...however, one of my very favorite scenes EVER is at the beginning of the first episode, I think, when Wash is playing with those dinosaurs. SO FUNNY. Basically any scene with Wash in it is my favorite. RIP Wash. He was my very favorite, and I was just heartbroken when he died.

What a great thread! Brings back wonderful memories reading about everyone's favorite. I have so many but my definite favorite is in WS when Mal and Wash are being tortured and Mal taunts Wash about Zoe and threatens to sleep with her.
Zoe going to bargain for "her men", choosing Wash without hesitating and not even flinching when Niska hands her Mal's ear.
And then after Zoe rescues Wash, he realizes that Mal got him through the torture with his banter and Wash finds his inner badass, "He's not gonna get days".
The whole crew jumping in to go rescue the Captain and River just glancing and shooting those three men without looking,"Can't look, can't look".
Priceless!
Okay, you asked for one, but I just love that episode! So many great moments.

And oh my goodness, how could I have forgotten?! The famous "I'll be in my bunk" line too!

It is in the pilot when Mal walks onto Serenity and shoots the Fed (can't remember his name) right in the head, without a moments pause, or mercy. He was a problem that they didn't have time for, so instead of talking it out, Mal took care of it.
SOOOOOOO hard to chose 1...but this is def top 5 easily.

Wow this is a fun thread - reading everyone's answers, there are so many brilliant moments of all sizes.
Overall, I keep coming back to the very end of OoG. Mal's in the used shipyard lot, listening to the salesman's pitch, completely and totally in love. And the reveal at the end, that all the virtues the salesman was describing weren't about the firefly at all! But Mal's in love, love at first sight, impenetrable by logic or reality, love as idiosyncratic and daft as love always is. There is no Why? that I can ask about his immediate attachment to and need for the ship. It's a beautiful foreshadow of what he tells River at the end of the BDM. Beyond that, I enjoy thinking about what it shows us about Mal and about human nature and love.

Opening scene to Our Mrs. Reynolds.

My husband and I spent the entire Christmas holiday watching our gift DVD of Firefly. Even burned the turkey. Did not know this series even existed so we have years of mourning to catch up on. Who ever decided to cancel this series needs their head examined. Better yet such stupidity deserves to be sent to work for NBC.
This is the absolutely best series we have seen in years. Pick a favourite scene? Impossible, although I really did like the look in Mal's eyes when the salesman was trying to sell him one ship and he first sees his ship. True love.
