This one hit me on the way to work the other day. Sorry if it's been done before.
Pick out 12 images that absolutely sum up Firefly ( and the BDM, if desired), the most perfect , most emotionally moving, the most totally showing what The Whedon had in mind.

I came up with 3 absolute mosts during the commute:

Kaylee and the parasol from the pilot

Inara and Book, the benediction shot, also from the pilot

River bending over to pick up the gun/stick, with the leaves

and 2 more , second favorites

the shocked Mal watching the Alliance land, also from the pilot

and of course;

River with the drippy axe, from the BDM

Also 2 covers; the Serenity by Gaslight empty galley shot and a dining room table shot ( Safe, Out of Gas, and there's a third one also, any of those or similar)

So how 'bout the rest? a list of the 12 best shots? Extra credit for 2 extras for the cover. Extra credit for the most episodes included, for all 12 from one episode, for most BDH's used, for all 12 using only 1 character, for use of guest stars, for a common theme ( e.g, folks with Big Damn Guns.)

Tough to choose the twelve best.

Zoe and Mal: "The ugly one sir."
River: Looking down at Simon with the BIG gun in her hand.
Book: Reading his bible and getting ready to die, River telling him he will freeze to death first. That look.
Inara: Her knowing, coy smile when told her young client had influence, to keep her.
Firefly: Hard burn off Whitefall.
Simon: "Light it."
Zoe: "You find someone to carry you."
Wash: "I don't wish to alarm anyone but I think we're being followed."
Mal: "May have been the losing one, not sure it was the wrong one."
Kaylee: In her bunk, gazing at her pink dress.
Jayne: "I was gonna leave you some cards."
Badger with Mal: "I may not be genteleman like youreself, with your very fine hat."



Extra credit: Zoe and Mal, "Big damn heroes, sir.
"
kaylee: "Oh, crime."

Great thread.

Here it goes:

-River's "spreadeagle" on the ceiling in BDM
-Serenity in-Atmo burn (after Crazy Ivan) in pilot
-River and Simon outside the boat in BW looking out into the black
-Book and Inara Absolution scene in pilot (one of my favs)
-Zoe giggling at Mal in OMR: priceless! (after he tells her she would be cleaning latrines)
-Jayne's reaction at hearing the town had a riot on account of him, Jayne Cobb
-Wash's "Here's something you can't do" right before Crazy Ivan in pilot
-Book's Special Hell look
-River's My turn in BDM
-River's pointing gun at Mal in Maidenhead
-Inara's "woo shi" - apologizing to Mal for calling him a petty thief in Ariel (she's absolutely adorable)
-Kaylee's parasol shot in pilot

2 Covers:

1- River's Hero shot from BDM (drippy axe)
2- Serenity dead in the water from OoG

Special mention:

Zoe's "You want to leave this room" to Jayne in BDM
Zoe and Wash's embrace in OiS (could be February for Valentine's day)

"Haven't heard from you in a while"
"I've been busy"

I had thought of River's My Turn, but that and Wash before Crazy Ivan seemed like generic visuals - not peculiar, specific, unique as a still shot. But great lines, scenes.

I could add Mal, Jayne, Zoe with Serenity behind, opening scene on "this little moon" in TTJ on U-Day.

All excellent suggestions. Not likely commercial but surely there is someone here that could easily put out a digital form of this calendar.

If you do, you get to choose the pix! That would be shiny.
