My favorites -

Jayne ogling Vera just after he tells Mal the name. Someone else mentioned this - it rules.

The look on Mal's face when Jayne comes up with the word "pretentious" in Shindig.

There are a ton of them.

One of my favorites happens when Simon and River are suited up and clinging to the outside of Serenity as she is being searched by the Alliance during "Bushwacked".
Simon looks out at space briefly with sheer, vertiginous horror -- but River is gazing out to the beauty of infinity with utter awe and joy. She has complete clarity and is completely transported. It's brilliant.

I also love the scene in "Serenity" when Book confesses to Inara that he may be in the wrong spot. His face is filled with doubt and grief, and then Inara reaches to him, switching roles, to offer him grace and peace.

I used to be confused, now I'm just not sure.

But these are all great.

I love River dancing in Safe.

aww I LOVE that scene from The Message I love that whole ep!

And River dancing is very cool and shiny!

I also love Simon's expression/reaction at seeing the statue of Jayne in Jaynestown.

I love Kaylee's expression at the ball in Shindig, where Mal walks her in and she's so happy and nevous and excited.

I love the expression on Jayne's face after putting on the hat in The Message and then everyones expresssions.

there are so many good one! Kaylee's face in Safe when Book is in the infirmary after being shot.
And her face in OiS when Jubal threatens her.

The greatness of Jossverse, the brilliance of the little moments....

I love most of the Jayne moments; and the scene where he carries Kaylee in Serenity after the fed shot her...Yeah, love that one

In Safe, when River goes dancing...absolutely priceless to see her as the carefree teenager she should have been. And Simon's expression as he watches the little sister he used to know. And all this after she has her bad morning.

In Safe, after Book is shot. They get him into the infirmary, where he has some kind of seizure. There's a shot of big, bad, selfish Jayne, looking positively frightened of what is happening.

That is the first one that came to mind, and the only one I had the desire to mention.

I love in The Message the whole River and her Ice ball/globe thing on the stick at the beginning and her faces when she is trying to eat it. the words help, but the faces are classic.

I love the look on Wash's face when Kaylee knocks him to the floor to avoid getting shot in Heart of Gold.

I also love Nathan/Mal's double take face!

My favourite "non verbal" moment is in "The Train Job" when Jayne comes onto the bridge all threatening then passes out from Simons drugs and WASH RESTS HIS FOOT ON JAYNES UNCONSCIOUS BACK!! I laugh every single time at that.

My favorite moment is at the end of OMR. The emotions playing across Inara's face as Mal says, "I knew you let her kiss you".

Ahh, Morena. I'll be in my bunk.

We've done this before. Or maybe after, since this thread was started before I joined Fff.n Anyway, a lotta these look familiar.

My fave, by a long way, is Jayne's farewell (he's the last to board a shuttle) to Mal, in Outa Gas. He does say "Well", just to let you know a communication is comin' up, but it's all visual. A (perfectly) long, unflinching look directly into Mal's eyes, followed by a crisp turn & exit, screen right, in about one second.

The farewell between two stoic men, when one is staying behind to die, is classic theatre. I cannot recall seeing it done better. This is one for the classrooms.
