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

Ok ok ok ok. So, I've become a BIG Jayne Cobb fan and a really big Adam Baldwin fan. But before I even knew either, when I saw that scene, for the first time, with Jayne peering in the window of the infermery... well... damn, something just caught in my throught. That's probably the moment I knew I loved Jayne. Awww.. the big sappy lug of a guy.

It is silly how emotional I can get over this T.V. show. With the exception of The Message(maybe I just dislike Tracy too much), I can agree with pretty much all the scenes that have been mentioned so far. I don't think anyone has mentioned the one scene that really gets me yet though. In the beginning of Serenity at the battle of Serenity Valley Mal says something like: "You hear that, that's our angels come to blow the Alliance to the hot place", then he gets the message to lay down arms and turns and his face is lit up by the devastating Alliance air strike that washes over the whole valley. This is the moment when Mal's heart breaks and he loses his faith.

Pirates don't cry, but if we did, I'd have to agree with just about every scene that's been mentioned.
However, for me at least, most of these moments elicit more of a revelationary (is that a word?) grin than a tearful reaction. Kinda like in "Objects in Space" when River says, "I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early," I'm sitting there thinking, "Well, there you go." As if to say, this person has resigned herself to an unenviable fate for the better of the people around her (as far as she's concerned), and has done it without hesitation or provocation. That's something.
Of course, I'm all about the music on this show, and in "The Message" from the moment Mal says, "I just carried the bullet for a while" to the final fade to faux black, I have to admit to gettin' a bit misty.
I mean, AARRGH! I'm a pirate dammit, I don't cry. AARGH!

NervousPete,
I bought Ultraviolet on your recommendation and agree, EXCELLENT program. That scene was heartwrenching and effective.
You've got good taste for a bloke.

"No," she said, "I'm afraid to go to sleep."
"Don't worry." I told her, "I'll be here when you wake up."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
With that reassurance, she finally drifted off. Whenever I see that final scene in OoG, I remember my first night home with my wife.
OK, now that's twice you've done this to me! I work very hard on my reputation as a heartless bastard! Between your wife and your comrades at the airport I'm a freakin' waterworks! Quit it damn you!
And another thing, it's not bad enough that you're a war hero, perfect husband and have flawless taste in TV shows but you can quote Shakespeare too?!? I'm tellin' you if you end up lookin' like Brad Pitt I'm startin' a posse to hunt you down! You're makin' the rest of us guys look bad!

>>>You left out the phone call he made. Only, he didn't speak when the woman answered it, and hung up. Didn't want to add to her troubles, or maybe, err, rare cowardice on his part. Not that i could survive being locked up with four vampires, either.
Ultraviolet was the best 6 hours of British Sci Fi I've ever seen. Considering how short so many Fox sci fi series have been, would it have been better for most of them, from Firefly to Brimstone, had been created as miniseries? USA and the SCI FI have been going that route.

I've got to agree with almost everyone else and say the final scene in The Message. Every time I watch that, I start crying.
Also the last scene in Out of Gas gets me every time.

It's such a heart breaking look, it's so beautiful. And then you see Serenity herself, sitting there, waiting for the right crew, and in the background the voice of the ship dealer saying, "Sir? Sir? Can you hear a word I'm saying?"
Duuude. I totally forgot about that until you mentioned that. I started watering like a baby. Serenity isn't all that pretty and special, but Mal finds something in her that well puts her upbove the rest...*tries herself to hold back tears*
ohhh and of course I forgot to mention when Jayne said, "What are you going to tell them when I'm dead?" (pause), "Just don't tell them what I did....just make something up"-Ariel.
I tear up like a baby. Jayne isn't just an ass to me. He has his flaws, he's just been taught wrong. Just him saying that shows that notion.
