I have to admit, there are scenes which I enjoy re-watching, but there are almost always other, minor events or comments, that do crop up every time, that I had missed or some how forgotten.
One of my all time favs though, is when Zoe asks Mal what if one of the passengers finds their stolen cargo and Mal says they won't, and she asks why not, to which Mal says... " Cuz ? " .
Never fails to amuse!

The series is replete with amazing dialogue, and the movie is a bitter-sweet yet glorious ending IMO.

A lot of good people died for that "glory". But that's what happens when you fight a war.
Also, ever notice that what the Operative says to Mal at the end is eerily similar to what Deckard says to Rachel in Blade Runner ...
Operative says I can't promise they won't come after you.
Rachel asks Deckard, What if I go north? Disappear. Would you come after me, hunt me? Deckard says, No, no I wouldn't. I owe you one... but somebody would.

I have not sit down and watched the series in order in quote some time. Going to have to start this week. It's always bitter sweet for me, even though I thoroughly enjoy it.

Then mix it up, watch it in the originally scripted and filmed sequence.

Well, we watched Serenity a couple of nights ago, my Son's reaction was that the movie would have been 100% perfect if only Wash hadn't been so haphazardly killed. He gets why Joss did it, but still regrets the decision. I reach. He also said he didn't mind the minor change in tone from the series as he views Serenity as a wrap-up as opposed to a part of the continuing adventures of the series.
Then last night he puts on Train Job again.

Hi all. First post so be gentle!!
Could not agree more. Going back to 2005 when I had never heard of firefly, I came across a review of Serenity in the Scottish daily record. It said the movie deserves to be up with Star wars as a bona fide sci-fi classic and gave it 5 out of 5 stars. Having watched it, although I enjoyed it enough to purchase the HDDVD , I just didn't see the Star wars comparison.
Fast forward to 2014 and the age of Netflix, I watched the solitary season of Firely and have just watched Serenity again. This time around I really cared about the characters and even burst into tears on that shot of River after her fight with the reavers. I gave it a huge round of applause at the end!!! Ok, now I see it!!!
