Well, have finished watching the show and it really hits home how brilliant it is. It matters not how many times I have seen it, it just doesn't get old. The characters, the story, the setting, the ship herself, the Whedon-esque dialog...I could watch it again tomorrow.
Watched with one other Browncoat and we lamented again that there is no second season. A shame. I remember Joss Whedon on the extras I believe, saying that he fully expected the show to run 7-8 seasons ala Buffy or Angel. By the way I also enjoy those shows, but Firefly is the cream of the crop in my opinion.
Some have mentioned a favorite episode, I don't know that I could pick one. Maybe I don't get out enough, but they are all excellent. If I had to, maybe Out of Gas. But then I think of how hard I laugh when watching Our Mrs Reynolds. I can't wait to discuss them! The Message is intense as they were filming the end after all learned the show was cancelled.
I guess I should move on to discuss Serenity Part 1 & 2:

Thought to have a drink every time someone said "Shiny" but it was suprisingly not enough. Maybe have to add in "verse", "gorram" or something else.

Some favorite lines or moments. Not exact quotes.

Mal: We did the impossible and that makes us mighty

At the end of the battle for Serenity battle, when Mal and Bendis stand up to look at the incoming Alliance ships (knowing all is lost) the music starts, the scene moves to slow motion...then Bendis gets shot! Love it.

Wash is needling Zoe for being such a good little soldier, always calling Mal, "sir". Then she says, "Nothing sir" to Mal, and Wash is grinning and giving her a sarcastic thumbs up. Good old Wash.

Shepherd Book: Mind if I say grace?
Mal: Only if you do it out loud (continues eating)

Mal: Public relations
In response to Simon's question of what Jayne's role on the ship was; after Jayne had been rude to Kaylee (kayleigh for Marillion fans)

Just an observation: Inara Inara Inara. Okay I'm good again

Mal: I surely do

Mal: Huh (when first seeing River)

Mal: Me and mine

Mal: I'm a bad man. (after the joke played on Simon about Kaylee)

Mal shooting the fed, and ending the shortest Mexican standoff on the outer planets.

Wash: I don't mean to alarm anyone, but I think we're being followed. (in a calm understatement)

Scene between the companion and the shepherd near the end.
Book: ...I think I'm on the wrong ship.

Also liked there earlier scene together, where both are shown to have some insight into each other regarding the captain.
Inara:... because so few men are.

Okay I'm done, bring on the Train Job.
