One of the many glories of Firefly is that so much is said visually. Simon is urged to tell a funny story and there's a quick cut to River. Her eyes are shining. She's expectant. "It's going to be a great story! My brother is so shiny!" is all there in one brief reaction shot. I started thinking about the scenes which brought out something about the characters' inner cores without a word being said.

I have to say, Mal's got some really great facial expressions:

In serenity, when he kicks off the lid of the box, and does a double take.

In Mrs. Reynolds when Saffron tells him she's his wife, the double blink in priceless.

In Ariel, when he meets Jayne, Simon, and River at the back exit, he gives this shrug that just says "What are you waiting for, let's go." And as non-chalant as can be too.

Gotta give Kaylee props for the Strawberry scene too, good non-verbal moment there.

There are so many it's hard to make a list! As far as funny, Wash's face when he sees Mal after his beating at the beginning of trash. As far as scenes that really struck me I'd have to say every scene where they do a brief cut to the characters internal emotional state. Inara had a few of those moments. Early had the longest. I'd have to say that the entire crew has a wonderful moment at the end of the message during Tracy's voiceover. That gets me everytime.
My last isn't really a non-verbal one, but it's not terribly verbal either. At the very end of the teaser for Heart of Gold when Mal points his gun and says "Whaaaa" in that menacing tone. Switch from playing for a laugh to that "mal's just plain cool" feeling.

ok, enough rambling.

One of my favorite sequences in the whole series is the interrogation montage from Bushwacked, in which each character is summed up in just a few lines--or in the case of Jayne, no words at all. Just that totally redundant "You can't break me" look. One of my faves.

SERENA


Oh, I've got one that kills me every time -

At the end of Our Mrs. Reynolds when Mal gets Inara to admit that she didn't just fall and hit her head. Her whole face speaks volumes - you can see that quick struggle and the decision to finally admit everything. And then Mal interjects with this little smirk and says "see, I KNEW you let her kiss you" and walks off leaving Inara just standing there stunned, blinking - like that's all she's capable of.

She looks like she's been winded, or just felt the wind of a bullet whistling past her head.

Priceless!

I'd have to say the best faces where made during the scenes in Janyestown were a) the crew sees the statue, and b) when Hero of Canton is being sung. Great tv, and dvd IMO.

At times I wonder about my own sanity. Then I remember I have no point of reference and feel much better....

When Kaylee hands the message to Tracy's family then walks to Simon, without making eye contact she softly takes his hand...I love the way she seeks his comfort without even looking at him and he gives it without looking back.

Jayne removing his hat as the message is being played...a silent tribute to a fallen soldier.

Jayne crouched at the window of medical watching folks working to save Kaylee's life.

The look on Mal's face as he's about to give in to Saffron before he says "oh I'm going to a special hell".

The look between Inara & Mal as they kneel over Nandi's lifeless body before he takes off after the bad guy.

All the ones already listed and about a million more.

In Serenity, Wash giving Zoe the thumbs-up after she calls Mal 'Sir'.

In Ariel, the proud look on River's face as Simon saves the hospital patient.

And, although it's not strictly nonverbal, probably the look on Book's face as he sticks his head around the corner to again remind Mal "The SPECIAL hell."

I think that Our Mr.s Reynolds is the king of non-verbal episodes, there are just so many...

Like when Mal gets married to Saffron when he's drunk, and mouths to Jayne "Look at the hat" and he does this funny little squint.

Once he finds out that he's married to Saffron.

When she offers to rub his feet, and he just walks away.

When Mal says "Me and her have inly one thing in common, we're the only one's who don't find this funny" then he walks off and we see Inara's look.

And when Saffron trys to do in Wash, she takes him away from the console and they stand by eachother to watch the stars, and Wash looks funny.

Oh...I must stop somewhere.But there are so many more!

There's a nice one in Serenity, when Simon operating on Kaylee. Mal looks at Inara, and then looks away a second before she glances at him. Or maybe it was the other way around. It just sums up so much of their relationship.

Oh my, there just are so many. Lemme see...

Our Mrs Reynolds: When Mal says "I never married you", and Book pops up with, "I believe you did." The way Mal's expression changes from "this is all mistake" to "oh crap -- did I?" is beautiful.

War Stories: When Zoe's helping Wash out the door, and he says, "Mal", and we see Mal shaking his head at them. That gets me.

Shindig: The look on Zoe's face when she takes the bag from Mal, and his reaction when he finally totally realizes what he just said to Kaylee.

Trash: The expression that goes with Wash's "What is she doing on the ship?!" and Kaylee trying unsucessfully to hide her grin.

Our Mrs Reynolds: Inara's face the whole time they're in Mal's cabin.

Ariel: When Simon takes a bite of whatever-the-hell it is, trying to convince River it's good.

Crap, I forget what episode the hair is. Anyhow, when Book pops his head around the corner with all that hair -- I don't know what you'd call that expression, but it's great!

And not only is that a "he's just plain cool" moment, for me, at least, that moment makes me very happy to be a heterosexual female. Actually, any time Mal gets real damn captainy, it makes me happy to be a girl who likes boys. Me-yow, you'll pardon the term.

I just remembered --- I also never, ever get tired of seeing people point their guns directly at someone without looking. Mal does it most, but Jayne does it at least once, and Zoe may, too.

Don't forget that River does it once too. Or actually thrice.

Other favorite non-verbal River moments:

In Ariel as Simon's ready to "kill" River (It's time to go to sleep) and you see a tear run down her cheek...

In OiS, two of Joss's favorite moments: the batgirl scene, and when she bends down to look at the gun/branch

And two scenes in Trash:

when Wash mouthes "what happened?" after seeing Mal.

not really non-verbal, but when Inara looks up at Mal as she's saying the chinese word for "petty"

Probably a bunch more that I can't think of right now.

then he says "i'm not dreaming" and river says "we all are". mal rolls his eyes which is funny all by itself but then river says "don't make faces" and he steps back and looks around like where the hell is she. great!!

Just as he says 'I don't want to hurt anyone', Book staggers into the doorway behind him, and you know it's a lie because he didn't HAVE to hit him three times.

In "Bushwacked" When Simon and River are outside the ship. Simon is terrified, but he looks at River, and she has the happiest look ever seen on a human face. He looks so surprised to see how full of joy she is over something he dreads. That gives us such a clear look into both of their personalities.

in War Stories as thery're taking off in the shuttle Wash turns to Mal and says, "Are we going to sing war songs?" or something and he has this big goofy grin. Thats great.

I can't remember which ep but river is standing on the railing on one of the cat walks in the cargo bay with her head cocked up, like she;s listing to whats going on in the deck above.

In Serenity where Jayne is all crouched down looking in the sick bay window at Kaylee.

In OoG when jayne shoots the bad guy standing next to him, with out even looking.

Can't remember the ep but when Wash an Zoe are making out on the bridge.

Out of Gas: Wash's look when Zoe's telling him that Niska will make it take days if he can. His demeanor totally changes between "he's gonna kill him" and "bastard's not gonna get days". Chilling. Every time.

Serenity: Mal, right after Simon leaves the bridge at the end.

Out of Gas: Zoe, as Niska is saying "Not enough for two. It is, perhaps enough for one. Ahh..." right before she cuts him off, we see what's going to happen flicker across her face.

Safe: Simon climbs right up on the burning platform beside River.

Heart of Gold: Inara sitting on the floor, sobbing painfully instead of crying daintily, the way I'm sure a Companion is trained to.

Out of Gas: the camera pans across the crew's faces as they react to Mal's "what we do got" speech.

Out of Gas: the content smile on Mal's face after Book assures him that they'll be there when he wakes up and he remembers the first time he saw Serenity across the used spaceship lot.

My faves?

CUTIE Kaylee with her hand over her mouth and yet unable to contain her shock and joy when she finds out Mal has gotten married in "Our Mrs. Reynolds". It's a reaction with all the sweetness and innocence of a child...she's definitely the heart of Serenity.

Jayne's expression of sheer dumbfoundedness, (more so than usual), when his song is being sung in "Jaynestown". Classic.

Inara's heartwrenching sorrow in the corner on the floor in "Heart of Gold" (Still haven't forgiven Nandi, although my opinion of Mal hasn't changed )

Lastly, Mal's look at the end of "The Message" standing in the snow on St. Alban's. A stoic, quiet grief that shows so deeply in his eyes...one of the more powerful moments.

And any Mal/Inara moments, the unspoken ones were the best and meaningful.

I thought of a few, but all of them were stolen except one, by the time I got to the bottom of this thread. My favorite of the stolen ones is, hands down, Mal's reaction when Mrs. Reynolds offers to wash his feet. I fall out of my chair EVERY TIME I see this.

One I thought of while about to post this is Jayne's expression while playing that-there sport in the Serenity's cargo hold. Great face that probably goes by in a blink on the show, but is immortalized here on the boards. ;)

Miraculously, another of my favorites hasn't been mentioned yet-- the flashback (in "Out of Gas") when we first meet Kaylee, and she and former mechanic Bester are "busy" against the engine. It just flies in the face of everything I thought I knew about Kaylee.... and officially makes her the "Mary Ann" of the show. *rrrroooowrrr* Naughty girl.

And, oh yeah.

If you define "verbal" as, y'know, with words, then here are two non-worded, "AHH!" moments that I love:

1) - Pilot -
Mal: Is it true love? Because if it's true love--
River: (pops up from crate) "AHH!"

2) - The Message -
Zoe: The trick to combat is to be quiet, careful, they never know where you are.
Mal: (bursts in, guns blazing) "AHH!"
Zoe: Of course, others have different schools of thought on the matter."

(I'm paraphrasing, but you know the ones I mean)

Yeah, you're absolutely right. That is one of funniest moments on the show, period.

Actually, while we're on Our Mrs Reynolds, I think it's hysterical how often Saffron pops out of no-where and nearly gives Mal a heart attack. The constant "AAAHH!" just makes me giggle.

I thought of a total girly one, too, that I don't remember if someone's said.
At the end of Heart of Gold, Inara says she's leaving, and you can see how hard she's trying to keep it together. Then when she turns away, just for a moment you can see that she's breaking down. Aw.
