OiS, starting with River's V.O. soliloquy. She's got a plan to defeat Jubal Early, but it's more than that. When she tells him that she'll be his bounty, and that: "Everyone can just go on without me, and not have to worry," you can tell she means it, that despite speaking to Jubal because it's part of her plan, she's also speakng to the crew.

Her words are coming from her heart, her voice on the edge of cracking (but not cracking). And while technically her floating down to Mal is another scene, to me it is really the close of the scene started with her soliloquy. She is coming down to Mal, down to Serenity, down to the ship (the home) and the people she loves.

She is in a space suit and helmet, her face obscured by shadow, and yet her joy radiate through: silent, a iron-core snowflake glowing and floating through space, until her fingertips touch those of Mal.

Damn scene makes me cry every time I see it.

I just discovere this show on January 19, and watched all 14 episodes in 3 days. That scene is my favorite, not only of Firefly, but of any television program ever.

That's my girl. That's my good girl.

Sorry, that chokes me up every time.

Remember, no matter where you go; there you are.

End of Ariel leaps to mind:

RIVER:
Is it time to go to sleep again?

SIMON:
No, mei-mei. It's time to wake up.

Tears me up every time! It's such a hopeful, liberating message.

At the end of The Train Job.

Slam, Crow, on his knees... Mal's little speech and Crows downright melodramatic rebuttal, followed by "darn" and a trip through the engine.

NEXT guy, slam, on his kness... Mal's little speech and he doesn't get but one line off before the goon is *passionately* agreeing with him.

Downright HI-larious, it just kills me.

Wow good question. I have two both involving Inara.

1) The scene where she finds Mal unconscious on the floor. Her voice cracks just the right amount to convey her desperation. Plus I love the finalé to that seen where she says 'No I'm ok I'm comfy' :)

2) When she breaks down crying in heart of gold. Rips me apart everytime I see it.

By the way everyone's favourite is good! Lets face it all the scenes are wonderful.

If it didn't, I don't think you'd be a bona fide Browncoat. I think that scene is amplified in intensity because you don't see it coming.

Indeed Jongsstraw - you don't Inara is always so strong. Just goes to show.... Love eh?

Plus I think Morena is just a brilliant actor.

The "s-what?" fight at the end of Shindig.

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

I change my mind a lot about favorites, but I always like River's speech towards the end of Objects in Space that ends with "I'll just fade away".
