General Discussions

Are you a big sap? A softie? What scene or episode turns on the waterworks?

In Safe:

"You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken."

"Mei mei, everything I have - is right here."

"So, you're proposing that we go back in time, find some Humpback whales, bring them back here, and hope they can tell this "probe" what to go do with itself??"
"That's the general idea."
"THAT'S CRAZY!"

I think its River and Simon in Safe..I'm a big sap when it comes to River and Simon scenes anyway its the one where they are going to try to burn her at the stake because the towns people who kidnapped them think she's a witch and Simon knows there is nothing he can do at that point to save her so he climbs up on the funeral pire so that he can burn with her...if she's going to die then he's going to die with her...

there are many others too....simon is this sweet guy ..but when it comes to his sister..there is nothing he won't do for her..it makes me melt everytime

My favorite part, even though i'm an agnostic, is the bit with the bible. Book tells River-

"You don't fix Faith, River. Faith fixes you."

He's talking about himself, but that also describes River's situation. Simon's faith that he can fix River and the leap of faith the crew is taking with River, as they learn more and more about her.

Considering I happen to be in Love with a Woman that resembles Morena, has many of the same mannerisms and the same smile. I have to say, Inara's crying in "Heart of Gold", did me in.

The third line of the theme always makes me tear up when I'm singing along.

At the end of Jaynestown.

At the end of Heart of Gold when Inara says she's leaving.

There are many moments that are so well timed with the music, I tend to feel very open with this show.

Static, that was beautiful.

Definitely OoG, "Y'all going to be here when I wake up?"
The end of Heart of Gold, the dialogue between Mal and Inara.
War Stories, when Mal keeps Wash going, and later, the moment between Zoe and Wash, when he tells her to run.
Those are the big ones for me, I guess.

p.s. Static and LadyDisdain, you are too funny. I have never read a more entertaining thread.

Like Static, I always mist up when Mal asks if everyone will still be there when he wakes up (though, unlike Static, I lack a profoundly moving back-story to my reaction!)

"Everybody dies alone." 'Nuff said.

At the end of "Serenity," when Kaylee rubs the engine and sighs, "that's my girl. That's my good girl." Not sure why, but I always find myself tearing up and grinning at that moment.

That little fiddle theme at the end of "Bushwhacked," as the Alliance cruiser is scuttling the derelict. Apart from being a lovely, haunting cue, it really reflects back on the horrifying, devastatingly sad fate of all the souls on that transport.

There are more I'm sure. But these are all I can think of right now, and I don't want to come across as too weepy!

Keep (*sniff*) Flyin'!
