In "Safe" not very long after Simon and River have been abducted, Jayne is going through their stuff. While he is doing that he has a stethescope in his ears and a tongue depressor in his mouth.

Nope, it actually is Serenity. The conversation starts with them walking up to the bridge after Mal sees the imprint on the cargo pulled from the derelict. Zoe's expressing concern that Mal's acting jumpy, Wash talks about everyone needing a vacation... "some sweet little getaway"...

Zoe: Well, if the cap'n says it's alright..
Wash: Why don't we just TELL Mal we need a few days, 'stead of asking him?
Zoe: He's the captain, Wash.
Wash: Right, I'm just the husband.
Zoe: Look, I'll ask him.
Wash: Don't forget to call him "Sir", he likes that...

Mal enters

Mal: Who likes what?
Zoe: It's nothing, Sir.
Wash: *thumbs up*

Love this thread, everyone. I've gone back to check out things I didn't see the first time (or several times) around just because of your posts. Thank you from this first-time poster.

My bits are from OoG, my favorite ep. The sounds Mal makes when he's getting up from the cargo bay floor and just as he's heading into the bridge to hit the red button (and falls to the floor) are heartbreaking. I ache just listening to him. He is so obviously in pain.

During the "what we do got" speech, Mal pats one of Serenity's ducts. But my favorite favorite is later in the ep after he's replaced the catalyzer, he pats it three times before he starts the engine.

And during "Ariel" when Kaylee and Wash are in the junk yard, Wash picks up and throws a catalyzer at the wrecked shuttle.

And lots more. "Firefly" is full of great bits, obvious or not.

I have several I like, but some struck me that I have not seen mentioned at all. I Like when a show puts in a strong family link, even if the characters are trying to hide it or not. Simon lives for his sister and makes no secret of it but his reactions are most often clinical. When river is talking to simon about the bits ( apples she and Kalee had ) she says they came back up " I threw up on your bed " Simon hugs her, pats her back and smiles and says, " yep' your my sister." Major family love/bond impact.

Inara's give away about how much she cares for Mal when Shepherd Book says he does not think that Mal would like it if he prayed for him, Inara says, " Just don't tell him. " turns and mumbles, " I never do"

The Journey is the worthier part.

Ow, still haven't noticed that, & I just watched that ep again last night. Gave my set to friends with a 36" set, and been watching the show this week. Noticed a few things I'd never seen before, but now I have to go back @least to that scene.

That's right after Out of Gas, too. I could not get over that. I don't care if it's a "nothin' part," if I'd almost died because of it, I'd want about ten spares on board. Hilarious.

Weelll... I'm intrigued by the bits that aren't so innocent. Like, for instance, Simon's hand on Kaylee's thigh. And the fact that his shirt's all unbuttoned. Not that I've, you know, worn out the pause button on that scene or anything.

Also love Simon's reaction when he sees Mal. Sean Maher does "confused and hung-over" so well. And then Mal's total lack of interest in Simon's attempts at explanation.

A couple scenes where no words are spoken...

In "Jaynestown", Simon's face is a study, every time he learns something new about The Hero of Canton. His confused and dumbfounded stare is great.

In "Our Miss Reynolds" when Inara is trying to hide the fact that she kissed Mal. She's propped up against a wall trying very hard, but not very successfully, to look, sound, and act like she hasn't been drugged. Kudos to Morena as an actor for pulling that off. I haven't seen many actors convincingly act like a novice trying to act. You have to be good, but not too good. You have to be bad, but not too bad. Morena rocks.
