I'd like to see it open at the dining table when something happens to kick-start the plot. I think it may start with the Operative getting his assignment, though, in order to catch people up on what the basic situation is. I would also expect the Reaver attack to come up fairly quickly.

Can we avoid the exploding naked people?

I'll agree with people suggesting the heist. Preferably something violent, as Witlesschum suggested, to set up the moral ambiguity of the characters.

Then show them giving medicine to townsfolk, or caring for River, or Kaylee eating strawberries. . .

Something being 'blowed up real good' then pan to Jayne... smiling.

I gotta go with this one, folks, Wash and the Dino's is the penultimate in puppet theatre...

1)Terrifying space monkeys juggling goslings,
2)Kaylee eating strawberries,
3)River killing things with her brain,
4)Jayne blowing something up while Zoe cleans guns nearby,
5)Wash and his dinosaurs,
6)Inara doing Mal's hair,
7)Book lifting weights, and
8)Jubal early saying "Well, here I am."

In a "Brady Bunch-esque" tile pattern with a big fiery Serenity in the middle.

But if that's not possible, the first one. Definitely the first one.
