Hmm, I said to myself, Ultraviolet, never heard of it. It sounds super cool, so of course it's a UK show. Argh. Then I read there was a pilot made for US TV in 2001, for, of all networks, FOX, and it never made it to the air. Wow, shocker. It's doubly disappointing knowing that The X-Files vets Howard Gordon and Chip Johannessen were attached as executive producers.
Ya, and they brought over only one of the actors from the UK series to do the FOX pilot: Idris Elba, who played Vaughan Rice. Now, I thought all of the principal actors were great, but I have a sneeking suspicion the producers liked the same scene that NervousPete describes.

Ultraviolet is indeed super-cool. If you still have a VCR, you can get the video set really, really cheap from half.com (I know, because I did.)

UltraViolet wasn't created as a miniseries. It was sold to be open-ended. However, the creator (Joe Aherne) couldn't find anyone else he'd trust to write for the show, couldn't find etc direct -- couldn't let go. He burned himself out writing & directing six episodes, and wrote an ending (with an opening for more) rather than let someone else work on it.
Wonderful show, but not the same sad story as Firefly. I've only bought three copies of UltraViolet.

All right... I wasn't going to admit this one...
Whenever I first heard the Salvaging Of The Red Button story -- I can't recall whether I first read it in an interview, or heard about it in the commentaries, or in a special, but it was probably the former... -- I was all weepy.
And so now, whenever they hit that moment in "Out Of Gas", with that "When your miracle gets here" line... I'm far and away.

Ya know, the first few times I watched "The Message" I thought it was good, loved the music and the ending scene with all the characters. But then Static gave his rendition of "You know the old saying..." and that got me thinking about all my Army buddies and how we had that kind of unsaid thing... and now I cant watch that scene without choaking up a bit.
OOG gets me with Mal's final words... and it keeps going for the fade into the used ship salesman and Mal's first glimps of Serenity.
My take on it: Here is a guy who is fresh from being a POW and goes and buys a ship so he can get away from the Feds and just get out "to the black" and never be under anyone's Yoke again. It gets me right in the ol' patriotic heart...
Another one that gets me is when in Shindig the mean girls are talking to Kaylee. I get that "aww, back off" feeling. But then all is made well by the gentleman who insults as only high brows can.
River when she comes out of the box and starts trying to tell Simon about how they came and tried to make her see and ... and... well, it just moves me.
Book at the end of Serenity... "I think I'm on the wrong ship..." yup... gets me there too.
Jayne and Mal in the final scene of Jaynestown... "I figure that everyone who got a statue made of 'em was some sumbitch or 'nother"
oh oh oh oh oh... the look on Wash's face when he realizes that Cap'n aint going with them in the shuttles in OOG... Alan is such a great facial actor.
That's about all for now. I should watch em all over again to catch all the emotional parts...
Ok, one more... "Ever been raped, Kaylee..." and the look of sheer terror on Kaylee's face...
I call her "Vera"

And Tracy's parents would have missed receiving his body for burial. They brought Tracy back for his parents, not for Tracy.

Yes. Well, you see...
Ummmm...
You are right, of course.
The Real Me would regret his rash action of spacing Tracy's body, and realize that perhaps he is not "Captain" material after all...

Yeah, especially that part. And the end of Ariel. Oh, and also the one in Bushwacked when they look at the stars. I think it's beautiful.
I also weep whenever I see River dancing in Safe. she's just so happy there.
When I hear Kaylee in OoG: "Sometimes thing gets broke can't be fixed".
The end of The Message.
"Everybody dies alone."
Inara crying in HoG. I know, I know, but she's just so... heart breaking. And she really doesn't deserve what happened.
You can't take the sky from me.
