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. :-)

might be a newbie around here
Date: 2004-10-08 05:14 am (UTC)Serenity the end of the war - the moment that everything Mal believed in shattered and stabbed him. it takes impressive character to even attempt to recover from that.
Bushwhacked another end shot where the alliance cruiser destroys the settlers ship. the example of what happens to those who don't have the above character.
War Stories ok here's my bit of levity. The end where mal tells zoe that they must sleep together to relieve the sexual tension. mostly cause i love zoe and walsh.

Thanks for playing. :-)
