estepheiaI have a sudden, overwhelming urge to watch the final Jayne/Mal scene in Ariel again. God that show was brilliant. *sigh*
I haven't posted a Firefly--- waaaaaah! post in a long while, so I thought I'd share.
So tell me, which is YOUR favorite Firefly scene? Where did the acting blow your mind? Which scenes make your gut clench with emotion, which ones make you choke up? To make the choice easier: You may pick three. Tell me the scene, and gimme the reason. Come on guys, you know you want to! Let's all bask in the afterglow of watching this fabulous show.
1. Ariel - Jayne: "I got stupid, the money was too good." and everything that follows. Guh. Wonderful acting. And the stunning realisation that the only thing that saved Jayne was his capacity for shame, the fact that he cared about what people thought of him once he was dead. This sense of genuinely pending doom averted makes this scene so powerful. Mal was really going to let Jayne die. What a telling scene. Guh.
2. Objects in Space -"Jayne: "What? You mean like masturbatin'?" - Jayne and Book talk in the kitchen and River wanders through and suddenly we hear Jayne and Book's thoughts. Funny flips into creepy in the blink of an eye. Also, I adore the mercenary/preacher interaction/budding friendship.
3. Our Mrs Reynolds - several scenes come to mind: The seduction in Mal's quarters, Mal wearing women's clothes, Jayne offering Vera as payment for Saffron. Um.... uh.... can't decide. But anyway, one of these makes third place. :-)

Date: 2004-10-07 09:22 am (UTC)1. Serenity Pt. 1 - Wash and the dinosaurs. "Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"
2. Bushwhacked - The basketball scene, where it's indicated that the watchers are unsure who's on what team, or in fact what the rules might possibly be. And it ends with yet another good Wash line. Which gets it even more points. ;) "Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!?" (deadpan) "Oh right, that would be me. Back to work."
3. Shindig - In this one it's a toss-up between Kaylee surrounded by admirers at the dance, or her in her quarters with the dress at the end.

But the dinosaurs, those truly rock. Wash is so cool.
Thanks for playing.
