The whole special hell speech is pure genius.
I also love Wash's infamous dinosaur scene in the pilot.
There's actually loads thinking of it, but those two are definitely somewhere in the top ten.

My favorite scene is when Stitch beats the hell out of Simon in Jaynestown. In fact stitch is my favorite character in the whole series. He was betrayed, permanently injured, and then thrown in a tiny wooden box to steam for four years. During that time his strength and health deteriorated due to inactivity and a poor diet. Sometimes his captors even forgot to feed him at all, and he had to listen while the world worshiped the thing that caused his despair. Suddenly he is released and given the power of information and weapon. A mind that had become empty and lifeless was now filled with the energy of mission. It is this energy that allowed him to deliver such a vicious blow that sent Simon to the ground. Stitch knew that Simon had no part in what happened four years ago, but that didn't matter. Simon represented the world and Stitch wanted to get even with it. That scene represented a man who was free to administer justice and punishment.
Hideous features were used to paint Stitch as a bad guy but his character was stronger than Jayne's. The fact he didn't conclude throwing Jayne out first indicates stronger code. During the final confrontation outside, Malcolm intended sabotage but Stitch spared him. Unfortunately his rage and vengeance were not enough to overcome the condition advantage of Jayne. Ultimately, Stitch was ended with the same justice as those scavengers attempted to end Malcolm with. How much anger would have been manifested had Malcolm been blown away for good?

Objects in space:
River walking through the ship, touching the walls, feeling the floor, etc.
also, same episode,
shot of river bending down over stick/gun (not picking it up right away), and the above shot of the leave/stick covered floor.
not many shows as can pull off scenes without any spoken words but so charged with emotion and meaning.

I love the scene when Kaylee and Mal first enter the shindig and we first get a look of her in the layer cake dress :D

That's one of my favorite scenes too - River's beatific smile, Simon's took of abject terror, even as he keeps his arm protectively curled around her, but also the seconds leading up to it, showing that vast expanse of dark space in the stars, and the two of them, so tiny and alone, huddled together out in the middle of it. To say nothing of the accompanying score.

The scene that makes me the happiest also makes me sad.
I love when Kaylee gets to wear the fancy dress and go to the ball...and is announced as someone important, with escort. She is dazzled and happy and gets to "interrogate" the buffet table. haha
Well, then she ran into the mean girls, but the old gentleman saved her from that. But then Mal misbehaved and ruined it all. As she said "Until the punching, it was a real nice party." Which was heartbreaking.

The one scene from Serenity that absolutely tore at my heart was the moment River looks at Simon after throwing up and says, "I'm all right." It was as if she herself was realising that; it was played so beautifully by Summer and was one of the best pieces of acting I have ever seen. It was like: "I'm not crazy. I'm okay, I really am." And she was. I tear up every time I watch it; I think that moment was a turning point in River's life, after which she might have mostly recovered from what those butchers did to her.
As for Firefly itself, there are too many to choose from, but I agree with Inara, that Kaylee looked adorable in that dress!

I pray for one last landing,
on the globe that gave me birth.
Let me rest my eyes on the fleecy skies
and the cool, green hills of Earth.
