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.




I like the part early-on in Jaynestown where Mal and Jayne are trying to convice Simon to pretend to be the "Boss" who is buying mud and Simon says, "Alright, alright, just stop...DESCRIBING me."

for me its when the Alliance crew boards the ship in Bushwhacked and they start looking under the Place mats on the table when they are searching the ship for River and Simon.. I always laugh I just think its so funny

also in OIS when River bends down to pick up the branch thats really a gun..I knew she was a ballarina even before I listened to the comentary, and besides she was always bending her feet in an arch... I admire flexablity... I just think Summer/River is so gracful...thats one of my fav's

Okay, I have a couple.

In Serenity, after Kaylee gets shot, and she's obviously in pain and a little out of it, Simon asks if she can move her feet, and she says "Are you asking me to dance?" I just thought that was so Kaylee. And in that same scene, Inara tells Mal to run, to do what Simon says, and that seems to make him all the more dead set against doing it. And he starts to yell at Inara for telling him what to do, but then Kaylee yells in pain, grabbing at his leg, and the look on his face as his brain does a 180, and he does what Simon says to protect Kaylee.

Also, I think it's in Bushwacked, but I'm not sure. Mal knows that this guy they've brough on board is extremely dangerous. He's thinking about what's to be done, and he looks out the infirmary window and sees Inara and Kaylee, and decides to lock in the almost-reaver. Seeing those two, the two he feels most protective over, quickens his decision. It's almost as if they are the sole reason for it. I just love that from Mal, how protective he is.

In war stories, seeing Kaylee holding a gun and shaking in fear, it just makes me want to cry. She is just so scared.

Oh, and I love the little sign Kaylee made for her room. It's so cute, and so Kaylee.

Okay, that's enough of my inarticulate (but loving) ramblings for now.

I just watched Objects in Space (AGAIN!) and just now noticed that the first time you see Jayne sleeping in his bunk, he is on his stomach with his mouth open. Later, when he tears the cloth down and turns over, you see a drool spot on the pillow. SO Jaynesque.

I managed to narrow this down to three bits:

3rd place: Mal's stymied silence after being offered a foot-washing in "Our Mrs. Reynolds". Great dialogue (less is much much more).

2nd place: The reflection of the Alliance ship off Mal's faceplate near the beginning of "Serenity". Combined with his expression and the musical cue this really worked to let me for me.

1st place: The first cut to River in Early's ship in "Objects in Space". Wow. The cut came off Early's dialogue and into River's laughter with another great musical cue just pefectly.
As an added bonus, River is all kinds of adorable in a spacesuit.

For some reason I rather enjoy the scene in 'Safe' right after Zoe delivers the line about 'sanguine' also meaning "bloody" and reaches to open the airlock door, Mal kinda raises his hands in the air sorta half-assed... like he thinks he's making a joke.

Then about 5 guys are standing there with guns pointing at him. Then his arms jump straight up.

For some reason I just kinda find that scene funny

Simon: I've never shot anyone before.

Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

Three from me are:

River talking to the cows about how they don't remember being cows until they see the sky. And then Mal understanding.

Kaylee mentioning several times that they need a compression coil and then it breaks in 'Out Of Gas'. Also in the 'Ariel' junkyard when Wash finds the med shuttle he throws away the very part they needed in 'Out Of Gas'.

Everything that Jayne says. Nuff said.

On a side note Jaynes fascination with Kaylee could also be a kind of older brother/protector type of thing. He definitely has far more depth than he portrays on the outside.

In 'Jaynestown'...when Mal and Wash are returning to Serenity, greets Zoe in cargo bay...watch Wash's face as Mal is telling her about Jayne, the Hero of Canton...you'll fall on the floor...

And in 'War Stories' when Wash has wormed his way into the drop, the look Mal gives Zoe (Off-camera), he just shakes his head at her like, 'Do I have to take him?'

"Haven't you killed me enough for one day ?"
- Mal, War Stories
