For me it was Out of Gas at the end when the Mal woke up and all the BDHs where there. When he asked them if they were going to still be there when he woke up. That scene always gets to me. I guess I like it because there is a sense of love in that scene.

Another scene that always chokes me a bit is the last scene from the Train Job. where that sheriff guy and his deputy catches Mal and Zoë trying to sneak that medicine back to town, and the Sheriff says to Mal "When a man takes a job, and doesn’t look too closely at what that job is, but when a man finds out what that job is, he has a choice too make." Mal looks at him and says something like “no he doesn’t”, meaning in that kind of situation, the only choice is doing the right thing, by giving that medication to the people who needed it.

To me that line that Mal said showed that he was a man of integrity; an honorable man. In the end, he's on the side of good. I'm always touched by scenes like that.

Another scene is from Arial, at the end of the show when Mal gets on Jayne’s case about the fact that when he messes with the crew, he's actually messing with Mal himself, and Mal takes that as a complete back-stab. He’s protective of his crew and if you decide to mess with any of them, you will have to deal with Mal. This is the sort of guy I've always wanted in my life...that kind of love and protectiveness, so I always get a little misty-eyed whenever I see that scene.

And lastly, the ending scene from Safe. When the crew was sitting down for dinner. It had a nice feeling of family. Warmth, love, understanding, and a sense of belonging, which is something I think most of us want and desire deep down inside.

Being the manly man that I am I cannot actually admit to crying but...At the end of Out of Gas when we see Mal as he first saw Serenity. That part is a killer. Objects in Space when River is telling Simon why it would be better for her to go with Early. That one is pretty tough too. Last but not least, every time River has a serious meltdown, not the funny ones, it is just so hard not to feel bad for her.

Definitely Out of Gas. The music just conveys the emotions of the scenes so well that the score combined w/ Nathan's acting just get me choked up every time.

The Message get to me too at the end where Tracy's message is playing as they carry him off the ship. You see everyone's face, Jayne taking off his hat, and that look from Mal. That hits me too.

Same as other folks: end of Out of Gas and end of The Message.

And, I know you didn't ask, but I had to add that the most teary-eyed that I get is in the BDM, after Simon is shot, and he and River share a moment. No wonder Summer kept crying while filming that scene that they had to do several takes. Powerful stuff. Also, at the end when Mal tells River that love is what keeps a ship in the air.

Hell, I'm gettin' teary-eyed right now typing this and thinking about those scenes!

Heart of Gold when Inara tells Mal she's leaving.

Movie when Wash and Book die

Course whenever I get to Objects In Space I have to stop because I know it's the last episode and I get melancholy. It usually takes me 1-2 weeks before I actually watch it.

The end of Jaynestown, where Jayne's trying to make sense of what just happened but seems to fall just short of figuring out, but still feels "something".

The end of The Message, after the kid dies, and they're presenting his body to the family. I know this one was supposed in envoke those types of emotions, being the last aired episode and all, but that scene was gretuitously emotional. It almost made me become a gawth.

Almost all of Out of Gas, but specificially when it shows Mal seeing Serenity for the first time. He had a greater initial attraction to the ship than he did to Inara.

Objects in Space was one of the few with a happy ending (Except for Jubal... poor Jubal) that was a lot more wistful early on when River's experiencing everyone's thoughts/emotions. I'm not usually empathetic towards other people's plights, but... I guess it makes sense that when I finally am, it's for a fictional character.

The BDM has to be the epitomy for me, though. At the end, the little exchange between River and Mal. "Storm's getting worse", "We'll rise above it soon enough". Something like that. Almost invokes thoughts of suicide just to escape the sinking feeling in my chest.

Course, this is all taking away from the inheirent ability of even the funniest episode to make me cry. Maybe it woulda been different watching them without KNOWING that they were going to come to an end, but I only saw the series after it got cancelled. I often accuse friends who see the show and don't immediately fall in love with it of not having souls.

Friday, May 19, 2006 3:50 PM

The part where Simon tells the others about River after she's come out of the box... that long monologue and the music behind it makes me cry everytime. The end of "Out of Gas", when Mal sees Serenity, I am transfixed by his face and already crying. "The Message", by the end, I'm in rolling down my cheeks tears. The end of "Objects in Space", just cuz it's the end.
My heart does the same thing it did the very first time... every single time. It breaks.

Ok, now you all have gone and done it, I don't even have to watch them and I'm crying.

And the scene at the end of "Safe", oh, my.

Definitely Jaynestown towards the end where we have Jayne conflicted on the whole hero status and the responsabilities that come with it. The Message is still my least and most favorite episode. That one definately triggered some memories a few people I could not help.

During the initial run on Fox I teared up during Safe, Out of Gas, and Objects in Space. When I got the DVDs Heart of Gold and The Message got me. What really made me cry was the first time I saw the ship on the big screen. The combination of music and the "majestic" way it appears was too much. Just hearing the music makes me sniffle now.

I think we all love those same moments (mine are much the same as the ones above).

Switching it up: which moments made you LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF?

A few for me:

Heart of Gold: when Jayne says "I don't care about these people", Mal says "They're whores" Jayne: "I'm in!" :)

Trash: Saffron to Zoe: "All you got to do to be a rich woman, hon, is get over it!" - and Zoe SMACKS her on the kisser!! :) Also, of course, Naked Butt Captain at the end.

Serenity: Of course, everyone loves Wash: "Ahh ahh! Mine is an Evil Laugh, now DIE!"

Objects in Space: Book (after being knocked out by Jubal) "I put up a fearsome fight" (he only lasted half a second!)

Friday, May 19, 2006 5:38 PM

Ok, well trying to think about what makes me cry has made teary. Evil, evil person why did you ask me that?

The first thing that came to mind wasn't an entire episode but the single scene surrounding the line, "Mei-mei, everything I have is right here."

I think the moment in the series that has always brought a tear to my eyes because it's just so powerful and painful, is the speech River makes in Objects in Space. The way she speaks, the broken voice with which she says it, the tears that threaten to fall, and the expressions on the other's faces as they listen, especially Kaylee's and Simon's... it's one of those scenes in the entire series that leaves me completely floored.

Out of Gas - Mal nodding off to sleep, and the scene where he sees Serenity for the first time.

First shot of Serenity in the movie - it reminds me of, of all things, the look on Kirk's face in Star Trek: The Motion Picture when he sees the refurbished Enterprise head on. Or when Picard beamed aboard the Stargazer in Next Gen, and said, "Hello, old friend."

A captain's first love is to his first command.

Friday, May 19, 2006 7:01 PM

I don't think I've actually cried, but I've certainly gotten the prickly-eye-thing lots.

First time: in the pilot, when Mal tells Simon that Kaylee's dead. I couldn't believe it, my eyes started welling up... and then, of course, I could've killed him (if I could only stop laughing :)

I definitely got teary-eyed in Out of Gas, during Mal's whole, lonely struggle to save Serenity.

I teared up at the end of The Message, even though I didn't particularly like Tracey (selfish, incompetent, shallow little pretty-boy that he was) -- I felt for his family, and I felt for Kaylee and Jayne, who were clearly thinking about their families, and I felt for Mal, and his gut-wrenching acceptance of his responsibility for Tracey's death.

And I think I got the prickles in Objects in Space, when River is talking about how no one wanted her and she would just go away and let everyone forget about her...

Lordy, what a series...

Yup, this is the one that does it for me. River is so surprisingly lucid (even as the ship!) and then it makes you realize that she has known exactly all the trouble they've gone through for her despite her usually confused/disturbed state...

If you haven't heard I might as well tell you that that music was written when the guy found out the show was cancelled, it's more than what it is (paradoxical as that may be) it's a goodbye to the show.

Get's me too, that's also part of the reason the mei-mei scene in safe gets me:

River: I took you away from there.

Simon: No.

River: I know I did. You don't think I do, but... I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Simon: It's okay.

River: But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you. You gave up everything you had.

Simon: Mei mei ... Everything I have is right here.

Safe - because it's when River and Simon finally realise that Serenity is thier home.

Ariel - "No Mei-Mei. It's time to wake up."

The Message - The entire ending.

and the first time I saw Objects in Space when I thought River was really leaving.

none of the episodes make me teary, but every time I see the end of serenity (i think you can figure out which scene if you look at my signiture)I cry so bad. Its one of the 4 films that have ever made me cry, heartless ice queen that I am.
I found the Serenity novel in a bookshop the other day, and flicking through I found that scene, and I started to cry! Right in the middle of the Sci-fi section in Borders! And every time I read a fanfic about Wash and Zoe after Serenity, i cant stop myself from filling up!
What does that say about me?

I love Wash! Bring back Wash!

Yep, that is the one that really gets me too. You realise that River does know how she affects the others and how some of them feel about her.

The other one is Rivers "you found me broken". Gets me every time.

Mine are very River-centric, cause I'm in a "River is the best thing since sliced bread" mood.

In Serenity, it's when Kaylee get shot, and Inara rushes over to her, Kaylee says "Everybody's so mad." the Inara says "It's okay, baby."
Then again, when River wakes up in the cryo box, and screams, and then when Simon is telling the crew about River.
Then at the end, with River & Simon, "I didn't think you'd come for me." Even before that, River's "I slept for so long." & Simon's "Then we'll find a place. We'll find a safe place."

In Safe, it's when River says "I took you away from there. I know I did. You don't think I do, but... I get confused." & "You gave up everything you had to find me. You found me broken. It's hard for you. You gave up everything you had." & Simon's "Mei-mei, everything I have is right here."
Then at the end, "Post-holer. For digging holes for posts." "Light it." "Time to go."

In Our Mrs Reynolds, The look on Inara's face when Mal storms out of the cargo bay to find Saffron. So sad.

In Ariel, when Simon's telling River that they're going to be asleep. River says "I don't wanna do it. I don't wanna go to that place. I don't wanna die."
Then in the hospital, Simon's explaining made me weepy, the whole "They did it over and over..."
Then River's "No no no, they come out of the black, they come when you call."
And River's "No no, I can't go back, I don't wanna go back." when the Feds are about to catch them.

In War Stories, the whole scene with Simon & River in her bed. "Going. Going back. Like apple bits coming back up. Chaos. [...] Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I hate the bits, the bits that stay down, and I work, I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?"

In The Message, the funeral (obviously) but also because in the commentary (Alan Tudyk & Jewel Staite) they say that it was the very last scene they shot for the series, and that just made me cry more. Stupid Fox. Idiots.

In Heart of Gold, the scene when Mal comes out of Nandi's room, and Inara sees him made me a little weepy, just how uncomfortable they were. But then what really got me was Inara's breakdown. It's so heartbreaking.

In Objects in Space, towards the end, River's "It's okay, Early, I'm going with you. [...] Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled, can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be waht they wanted to be, could be with the people they wanted. Could live simple. No secrets. [...] I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll jsut fade away. [...] Simon?!?!?" And then her scream, so sad.

That's all my sad River moments, I'll probably come back with some of the other characters, too. But that's all I have for now...

Thursday, May 25, 2006 7:32 AM

Oh lordy... I'd say the most tearful moment for me, the bit that always makes my throat hurt and my eyes well up, is the first shot of Serenity in the BDM... oh god, just thinking of it and remembering that AMAZING music is making me get all weepy now. It was just so perfect, and I wish I'd been a fan of the series back then and actually gone to opening night (I was converted through DVDs).

Other bits that make me wibble:

- the way Simon is so tender with River after she comes out of the box in the pilot. He's so protective and nurturing, and then you find out she's his sister... I don't know why, but that makes it even more powerful. If Joss had made River his lover or cousin or friend, it would have been one thing, but for some reason the brother/sister thing just gets me right here (and I'm an only child!)

- on a related note, and these make me smile as well as sniffle: I love the scenes where Simon teases River like an older brother. He doesn't do it often as he is usually trying to take care of her... but oh god, when he responds to River saying, "I didn't think you'd come for me," with, "Well, you're a dummy!" it was just... SO perfect. Ditto on the, "I threw up in your bed. / Yep. Definitely my sister" scene.

- Almost all of Out of Gas, mostly the bits where Mal is so totally alone on his ship, dying, with no one to help him... and conversely, the scene where he asks if everyone will be there when he wakes up. The bit where he sees Serenity is also nice, mainly for the beautiful music to set it off.

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

- I admit to wibbling over poor tortured Wash in War Stories. He was trying but just was not strong enough; I wanted to cry every time his head slipped out of the headrest before Mal snapped him out of it. I also wanted to cry when Zoe is comforting him after his release, being gentle without any sign of their previous disagreement. And then Wash became an awesome badass, and I cheered. ^_^

- Inara crying in Heart of Gold. I really was not expecting that at all, so it hit like a punch to the gut. Conversely, I think I am the only person in the verse who was actually expecting Inara to leave at the end, once she started talking about "depending on strength" and stuff, so that didn't hit me so hard.

- As many people have said, the speech where River agrees to be Early's bounty is just heartwrenching and sad. It unfortunately is not so gripping a second time as I know she's laying it on thick, but at the time, I honestly thought that this was sincere, plus the fact that it was the end of the series made me wonder if she WAS going to be captured. I also wibble at the scene in OiS where the crew is talking about River and she's listening from below, with a slightly sad expression on her face.

"This must be what going mad feels like."

WHENYOUCANTWALK

Thursday, May 25, 2006 11:38 PM

- Serenity (the pilot). I get teary very easily so it's not exactly like it's a difficult thing, but I was getting teary after Kaylee was shot and Mal refused to turn the ship around until Kaylee cries out - damn I love their relationship. And when Jayne is watching the operation on the catwalk through the window. What a great character moment, seriously. Then Simon and River, after she first comes out of the cryo and then again at the end with "I didn't think you'd come for me." I love them a lot - sibling relationships are my favorite things to explore - reading, writing, role-playing, it's all so wonderful.

- Safe. "Mei mei, everything I have is right here." Oh god. ;_;

- The end of Out of Gas.

- The end of The Message - I think this is the only one I actually cried at. It was sad, sort of in a "All Quiet on the Western Front" sort of way.

- BDM. Um. Okay. I teared up when River begged Simon to kill her ("Bullet to the brain. Squish!"). Also when Book protests that he's not part of Mal's crew and Mal says, "Yes, you are." (Nathan, how do I love thee, let me count the ways...) And... basically from Wash kicking it to the end of the movie I was in one stage of tears or another. I was a sobbing mess, but especially at Simon and River with "You take care of me." I can definitely see why that was hard to film. (Getting teary thinking about it, oops.) It was even worse when I was watching it slightly inebriated because I'm also a very emotional tipsy/drunk, apparently.

Oh yeah, I also laughed until I cried at the "TRAAAP!" in the deleted scenes, does that count?

The big ones for me

Serenity (pilot) - River: "I didn't think you'd come for me", Simon: "Well you're a dummy". Priceless acting by both of them.

Out of Gas - Mals long walk, but mostly the "Y'all will be here when I wake up?" scene. Swallowing hard and blinking heavily here!

Objects in Space - "I'll be your bounty Jubal Eary" My god if they hadn't cancelled this show Summer Glau would've had me wallowing in a puddle by season two,...

Oh wait she just saved that for the "You always take care of me Simon. My Turn!" scene in Serenity the BDM.
Damn you Summer ;-) , stop messing with my brain!

Heart of Gold... when you think Inara is going to get all smoochy with Mal, then she tells him she's leaving. Breaks me little heart.

And Mal's "Alone time" with Jayne in Ariel, when Jayne is out in the airlock. Don't see much of Jayne's softer side, but it's always impacting when we do

ONTHEDRIFT

Friday, June 9, 2006 5:17 AM

There are so many moments already talked about where I get weepy, but one that always gets to me is in Ariel. When Simon, River, and Jayne are trying to escape and they get to the locked door, suddenly a gun goes off on the other side and Simon pushes himself in front of River trying his best to shield her with his own body. That says it all about that relationship. Simon and River's relationship affect me the most, to me personally it's the most relatable. In my opinion, familial love is much stronger and selfless than romantic love. It was great to finally see sibling characters that exemplify love.

Friday, June 9, 2006 6:06 AM

I got a little choked up when Mal kicked Crow through the engine. What a sad, sad waste of a very good looking man.

But, seriously, I always get choked up at the end of JAYNESTOWN, that whole sequence when Jayne kills Stitch, and then yells at the dead kid, and yells at the mudders.

And more than anything in FIREFLY, there's a fanmade Firefly Music Video that makes me ball every time I watch it! It's "Behind Blue Eyes" by Limp Bizkit, with Jayne and River:

I've probably answered this . 'OoG'...'you'll gonna be here when I wake up'. Serenity (BDM) . The end with Mal and River in the cockpit. 'I guess you alreay know what I am gonna say?'. River: 'Yes, but I like to hear you say it'. Brings me to a blubbery mess every time :)

Out of Gas right at the end with Mal in the medical bay asking the crew if they'll still be there when he wakes up, and The Message simply because of the beautiful piece of music played near the end.

Man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

The funeral scene in "The Message". The music gives me chills every time, and the scene is beautifully done.

In "Out of Gas" when everyone flies off in the shuttles and Mal sits down in the cockpit alone and covers up with a blanket. It's just so...stark.

And of course the end of that episode when he wakes up with the others around him, and the scene where he first sees Serenity.

Heart of Gold, when the woman sings Amazing Grace over Nandi's grave.

The Message, of course, the scene of them bringing him to his parents on that desolate cold rock.

And I bawled all the way through Objects in Space just because it was the last one and I did not want it to be over. I still don't want it to be over. I may hunt down and damage some Fox executives. They never even gave it a chance, shuffling it around, playing episodes out of sequence, pre-empting it, not showing the pilot, making them change the very nature of the show - EVIL IDIOTIC HUMPS!

On the first time through the series all the episodes and lines previoulsy mentioned. Out of Gas and that whole part with Mal and the ship, him closing all the doors and the music only intensifies this feeling between our captain and Serenity. Then at the end his comment to the crew "you all going to be here when I wake up?" and then the look on his face when he first sees Serenity. Other episodes, Safe and all the heartbreaking lines with River and Simon, The message when Tracy is carried down in his coffin, the music is a heart wrenching goodbye to Firefly. Then in Heart of Gold when Inara is crying in her room makes me want to cry with her. She sobbs with all the pain of her broken heart. And in Objects in Space River's little speech to Simon and Early. The music in that piece always gets me choked up, the violin is sad as she says she will just 'fade away' and the look on SImon's face. THose parts get me every time. Now though they hit with a stronger feeling.
THe message because it was the last episode they shot, Objects in Space because it is the last one, and in the pilot when we get to see Serenity in hard burn to escape the feds, the light trail streaming in the black and that fantastic musical cue gets me teary eyed even now as I am writing this.

And as for the BDM well, the whole last half hour of the movie had me in tears from when Book died and on.
When I first saw it I didn't know if Joss was just going to kill every body off or what. So I am gasping in shock while crying and sniffling and praying (a very wierd combination)that not everyone is going to die. And then comes River saying it is her turn. (stifles sob) and then the final few moments of the film when Mal and River are on the bridge and that whole scene about Love keepin her in the air when she aught to fall and all that and the last few seconds we see our beloved Firefly in flight. Now that I mention it just the sight of the plastic palm trees and dinos on the console with out Wash behind them makes me cry *sniffle*

"Once you've been in Serenity you never leave. You find a way to live in it."

watching Heart Of Gold made me really sad, knowing that the next episode i would watch was going to be the last one and the music just marred my day, i couldn't stop thinking about how fox had cut the best series id ever watched! by the time i brought myself to watch the Objects In Space i was trying to convince myself that id become way too obsessed, but i cant help it, just like many of you im sure. so by the time id held back the tears i wanted to find someone from fox and hurt them in some way.

The Message right when Tracy dies and at the end, Serenity (the movie) at the end and when Wash died, and Ariel at the end when Simon is giving his sister the new medicine.

River: Is it time for me to go to sleep?
Simon: No mei-mei, it's time for you to wake up.

I can never get through that scene without crying.

"You're talking to Serenity. And Early...Serenity is very unhappy."

You know what gets me all welled up, in the BDM when you first see the Title scene,, when you see the title is really on the ship,,, just the first look of serenity on the big screen the fact that it went from a canceled master piece to our bdm,,, and the music whoa it was just perfect....

That scene from "Out of Gas" always gets me, too. And when Book leans forward and reassures him that everyone will still be there, that moment is magic.

A lot of the episodes are great and I get chills in just about every one. But I would have to say The Message, especially when Joss said on the commentary that they knew by this episode they were going to be cancelled. All of our crew just standing around the grave in the cold. Very saddening and depressing.
Out of Gas was a touching episode as well.

Well, all the obvious ones. Obviously. But recently two Simon moments have made me sniffly.

The first is in the pilot, during Simon's "I am very smart" speech. He gets to the part where he talks about the academy and he says "She wanted to go. She wanted to learn." The his voice starts to break with emotion and he says. "She was fourteen." The way he says it just breaks my heart.

The second is during 'Objects in Space', when the crew argue over River's fate. The argument gets pretty heated and Simon says, in a quiet, bewildered voice, "She's just a kid." I love the way the mood changes at that moment. And it does tear me up a bit.

Apologies if I've posted this already!

The commentary on the pilot when the theme music comes on, Joss and Nathan are singing away and when they hit the "You can't take the sky from me" line you hear Joss say something like "Well I guess they could"

Not so much a teary moment as a punch an exec moment though.

Monday, September 18, 2006 10:27 PM

In War Stories when River is saying that she hates being well, because she knows it will go away and it'll be even worse then, that gets me every time. Then also in Out of Gas when Mal says "Everybody dies alone" I also tear up in Objects in Space when River says "And I'll just fade away"...that combined with the music there is just too much. And one more is in Safe with the "You gave up everything you had to find me, you found me broken" "mei-mei everything I have is right here"
And I also sometime get sad at the end of Heart of Gold with Inara's whole speech, just because I wish those crazy kids could just work things out...
....Yeah, okay I get emotional sometimes.

Hmmm, I guess the part that choked me up the most is the end of The Message. The music there really is killer, especially because the composer meant for the music in that scene to say "Farewell, Firefly". Cuz that was one of the last scenes they shot.

I can't even think of the end of OoG when Mal sees Serenity for the first time without welling up. Hell, trying to get through this thread without getting teary-eyed was impossible.

After I saw OoG I just sat in the dark for a while (I saw it very late at night, I was trying like hell to get through the series before seeing the BDM on the big screen. I'm a nut, I must see EVERYTHING in order...), and just thought to myself, "crimeny, I think this is the best show ever. EVER."

The last scene of "Out of Gas". It, IMO, is the defining moment of the series and makes me shed a tear no many how many times I see it. And then when the episode goes off, I think: DAMN YOU FUX! DAMN YOU TO HADES FOR CANCELLING SUCH A MASTERPIECE!

None of the episode brought me to tears,The Message being the closes, but Serenity is a different story all together. I consider myself a pretty tuff character, but I took Books and Washs death pretty hard. That being said, Three words from Zoe, had me crying like my 7 year old after scraping her knee.

After Kaylee says, "Wait, What about Wash?

Zoe says "He's ain't comin"

It brings tears to my eyes every time.

Out of Gas, primarily when Mal adopts Serenity from the Humane Society because of that look she was giving him- her viewports all big and misty...

then again when Mal is shot by the ruttin' pirates, when he already offered for them to take what they wanted...

then again when he doesn't make it to the recall button...the worst part is, you know what's coming but it still gets to you. The plot of that story was so transparent, but Joss knew it wouldn't matter- he knew we wanted to see it, and that we would feel it.

The Message- moreso now because I realize that the crew- I mean, cast- no, no, the crew found out they were cancelled and had to do the reminiscence scene at the table with that hanging over them. Also- the Walk/Crawl line, and to be honest, I've laid to rest too many young men I've served with. It's hard even when it's fictionalized.

Lastly, I still wish that they didn't let Wash go.
As for objects, I still have only seen it once. I can't watch it by myself.

Thursday, September 28, 2006 8:12 PM

Much like everyone else, I want to say the Message, because the funeral scene is for the show, and that look on Mal's face is just so devastating, but i want to reference two scenes with jayne, of all people: Jaynestown, at the end, where he is just so twisted about how it all went down, and is trying so hard to extend himself beyond his two-dimensional existence, but can only go so far, and you just know it hurts and confuses him to reach his own limitations emotionally; secondly, the end of Ariel, where jayne saves his own life by showing shame for what he did, tho God forbid in Joss's world he should ever make it so obvious.......(there is a great solo artist named Paul Westerberg, formerly of the Replacements, a great '80s punk band, and he said in an interview "I write for bright people--if you don't get it, i'm sorry, but I just can't write down"). Joss wrote this show for bright people, not for people who were looking for a ton of flash bang shoot-em-up and nail the pretty girl eye candy.

As Frank Zappa once said about Alice Cooper--"You either get it or you don't. I wouldn't even try to explain"

BROWNCOATJIM

Thursday, September 28, 2006 8:17 PM

Just because of the fact that i didn't want to make this post the great American novel, I am breaking it up into two parts:

in Heart of Gold, when the scene flashes to Inara sobbing her guts out, that got me, mostly becuase of how it was done out--no introduction, no seeing her face break into tears, just BAM! in your face emotion that told the whole season's worth of story about how she felt for Mal. It was in-your-face and yet understated at the same time, and Joss left it up to us to figure out what it all meant.

Again, Joss wrote the show for bright people, hence its inevitable demise.

Did that sound cynical?

I didn't really tear up the first time through the series. Well, a little bit at Objects in Space, but just because it was the end. The second time through, I got choked up during Safe atthe scene between River and Simon with the hodgeberries. Also the scene between River and Simon in War Stories after River threw up on his bed.

Actually, most intimate scenes between River and Simon. I love them.

Sad teary:

The Message
Every time Tracey dies after the run/crawl/carry quote
Every time they carry Tracey off the ship and that beautiful sweet music sweeps in

Jaynestown
Every time Jayne tries to understand why the Mudder would die for him

BDM

Every time River falls to her knees on Miranda while begging God to make her a stone
Every time they watch the medic's video on Miranda
Every time Mal gives his "someone has to speak for these people"- speech
Every time Wash dies
Every time Simon tries to talk after being shot, especially since I heard the commentary where Joss says Summer couldn't stop crying and they had to wait for her to recover before doing Sean's coverage.

(I cry a lot)

ANGRY teary:

Every time I think of the absolutely incomprehensible decision to cancell the show, and strangely enough....right now!

heart of gold kind of made me teary. Mal finally gets laid (shivers down my spine) and she dies. Out of gas also made me teary but still made laugh. The scene were shepard was praying and reading the bible and river walks by and says don't be afraid. You think you are going to run out of air, but we won't. That won't happen. here you see book's hopes a little higher and then how fast they drop when river says we are going to freeze to death first.

Friday, October 20, 2006 1:16 AM

When Simon comes in to River's room with the medicine at the end of "Ariel". She is afraid and thinks he is going to put her back to sleep.

Safe, when River's dancing I get teary eyes when I think about wht she could've become when the guys from the "academie" would've let her alone. And of course in the end.

Heart of Gold, when Inara cries, and in the end at the funeral.

The Message, also during the funeral.

Objects in Space, when River say's what everyone's thinking but too afraid to admit...

Out of gas, this episode gets to me and Ariel too.

And of course Serenity, when Mal realises he's lost the war, when Kaylee's shot...

so many great moments, why this show got cancelled is a complete mystery

There wasn't really one that made me cry--maybe I have no soul, but I digress.

Anyway, three moments come to mind instantly:

Out of Gas: Just the whole idea of a man staying with the one thing that links him to the freedom he lost in the world, even to its death, is a powerful one to me.

Serenity: The other two are Mal's "Aim to Misbehave" speech and Book's death sequence, espicially his last words.

WYNTER

Saturday, December 30, 2006 6:40 PM

Great. The first time ever I'm replying on this site, and I'm all teary from reading this topic! Thanks guys :-P Anyway, bits that made me cry:

- Safe, when Simon is trying to convince the villagers not to kill River, and then accepts his own death too
- The Message, funeral scene. Heart-breaking.
- from the BDM, when Simon and River are talking before getting to Haven and she goes slightly loopy ("bullet in the brain pan")
- from the BDM, when the crew's on Miranda and River drops to the ground and asks God to make her a stone, such a powerful moment that I can't help but shed a few tears

I think those are really it. Plenty of moments have made me uber-sad but only a few made me teary. Who knows, that might change the more I re-watch both!

Tuesday, January 2, 2007 2:51 PM

My Goodness, there are so many moments throughout the show and film that bring on those emotions, i couldn't list them all.
But a few That stick in my mind.
From "Serenity", when they've found out how the Reavers were created Mal gives a speech to the crew about how the alliance will try again and again to make...people...better, and the look he gives River at that moment...It's both heartbreaking and fulfilling.

Also from the pilot episode when Mal is informed that no back-up is coming at the battle of Serenity Valley. The shots showing the alliance ships landing and then that shot zooming out as Mal just stares up and the young lad gets shot. You can see from Mals expression. He's lost all hope, for himself and for what he would describe as the free world. He doesn't duck to hide from the barrage of bullets after the boy is shot. He couldn't care less at that moment in time whether he was shot or not, in my opinion.

Also, as I saw a few times above, the scene after Aerial where Jayne is nearly sucked out of the cargo hold. Mals speech on how he stabbed him in the back. The anger in his voice and of course Jaynes sudden outburst of honour.."Make summit it...don't tell 'em what I did"
Even in death, he doesn't want to be thought of as a bad person.

Finally, and oddly enough not directly connected with the show or the film...On the special features of the Firefly DVD there's a behind the scenes featurette. And at the end Joss Whedon explains what it was to him. What this show meant. And you can really feel that that man wasn't ready to finish and you share his dissapointment. That really got me...but yeah...there ya go.

In "Bushwacked," when the camera reveals Simon and River clinging to the outside of Serenity.

They established Simon's phobia of space suits earlier the same episode, and River and he look so small and helpless. But they are alive because Mal cared enough to endanger his ship for their survival.

That's a lot of moving concepts flying around at once! I must confess some tightness of throat when I view that episode.

There are many sad moments but the episode that almost made me cry was 'Safe', the part when River is dancing, she looks so happy and carefree. I don't why that is in particular but probably because it is the first time we see her like that and its sad because it reminds Simon perhaps of the sister he had - and still has but now with government interference.

They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see sky, and they remember what they are.
