I fourth (or is it fifth) the line about "I wonder who's in there?" from River as being fantastic.

And I think it was on viewing OoG the 10th-some time before I clued in that the "gas" they were referring to was atmo, not fuel. LOL!

I have a few:

I'll whatever River's "Who's in there?" line. And her "me too" about being her first time delivering a baby.
In Serenity when River pokes her tongue out when Simon is giving her a needle.
In Trash just the fact that Mal puts Saffron in the box to get her on board Serenity. And her newest husband Monty yelling "I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!" as his ship takes off. And Kaylee's "Really? But I thought we loved Monty!" (asks Zoe) "Don't we love Monty?".

I could go on forever! Firefly is the best!

I have a few favourite unobvious bits. It's hard to think of any.

In 'Jaynestown', Jayne's sitting at the table in the bar worrying about keeping a low profile. As he's drinking, he makes the loudest slurping noise in his cup!

In the same episode, it's funny to see Simon cover his ears as 'The hero of Canton' is playing in the background.

It might be obvious, but in 'Objects in Space' when Jayne hears fighting outside his room, he takes the cover off his gun rack, wraps around himself and goes back to sleep..

Kaylee's facial expressions are great. When Mal insulted her in 'Shindig' she looked really hurt.
It was brilliant acting.

I love it when Kaylee and River hang out too.

hahaha.... those bits are great.

I remembered another bit. Joss points it out on "Objects in Space". The way Jayne is eating the apple while it is on the knife- and how it is so ridiculous - no one else would eat an apple like that. And of course Simon's line "my sister is a spaceship...we had a difficult childhood"

Ok this may be a really obvious one so sorry, but I always loved the way Mal strutts back into Serenity bollock naked (forget the name of the episode - but it's the one where Mrs Reynolds returns) with all the other crew members carrying on as ordinary. Especially as Inara is there, and rather than appear bashful Mal quite happily parades around "Cobblers out" in front of her. A confident man indeed!

There are many thousands of others mostly to do with River: The baby remark as has been stated is great.

Also Jayne, whatever he does is just excellent. When he recieved that dumb hat from his mother and rather than try and hide it or be embarrased, he actually displays real heart and puts it on. I thought that showed what a softy he can be in the right circumstances.

But there are so many must watch some more to pick out all the subtleties.

Book's reaction when Inara's new female client arrives is funny. He seemed quiet and uninterested at first. Despite Kaylee & Jayne's curiousity. It wasn't until Kaylee said 'he's here' that made me laugh.
It's in the movement, like when someone's disturbed from their sleep and they don't know where they are. His face looked worried.

I don't think Simon is so much cover his ears as holding his head together to forestall the explosion of his brain.

My fav moment is when the crew are sharing a meal in the galley at the end of Safe, and River steals Jayne's bread! It's such a nice moment.

It's Trash, the same one that they nick the Lassiter in.
