Jenny kissed me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in.
Time, you thief, who love to get
Sweets in your list, put that in.
Say I'm weary. Say I'm sad.
Say that health and wealth have missed me.
Say I'm growing old, but add
Jenny kissed me.

When Mal walks onto the ship in 'Serenity' and shoots the fed in the face. You can almost see him thinking "I seriously do not have time to deal with this." It shows that he is completely focused on keeping his ship flying, no matter what he has to do.

That's probably what it was.

Hey, ya know what would be great? If we could post images on here.

I dunno if anyone's mentioned it yet, but there's a scene in Out of Gas where they're all seated around the dinner table and Jayne asks Inara to tell some stories about being a companion. Inara says's she doesn't kiss and tell....the camera pans to Mal and the smile on his face after he says "Oh, so there is kissing?" is perfect.

It's certainly a dark moment, but I was stunned to not see it on the list. From the scene in OiS where Jubal has Kaylee cornered in the engine room, the moment he tells her to turn around - the look of abject helplessness and horror on her face is one of the absolute greatest acting moments I've ever seen on television - I was completely sold that she was feeling every bit of that terror, as close to the edge of breaking down as she'd ever been.

Certainly not a happy moment, but one that's always stuck in my head as a very solid reminder that while Jewel is indeed one of the main beauties on the show, she's not just there because she's pretty. As Joss clearly has a tendancy of doing, each and every BDH is one hell of an actor.

Oh, and hey I'm new.

a moment that just busts me up was in War stories, just after Wash Drags Zoe away to their bunk, Jayne Smacks Mal in the chest when he sees the free soup. Mal's whole reaction to that, lasts about 30 seconds and is pretty priceless. Especially with Jayne ignoring his pain, until he looks at him, as if to say "What's your problem?"





"I told you to scare him"

"Pain is scary."

A couple more, not yet mentioned (I believe)...

Serenity - When Badger mentions how every molecule of the cargo is marked, I love the look Zoe shoots at Mal, and Mal's own reaction.

Out of Gas - Mal's final approach to the red button...and he just drops. No goofy "Oh, I'm about to faint" expression - he's just done.

Just recently realised how cool this one is...
Serenity- when Book brings Inara her dinner/supper/tea/whatever you want to call it.
INARA: "Why are you so fascinated by {Mal}?"
BOOK: "Because he's something of a mystery." (beat) "Why are you?"

The look on Inara's face for a split second is along the lines of 'how the hell did he figure it out?' and 'can I try and fool him into thinking he got it wrong?'.
