The Mal Reynolds/Nathan Fillion Eyelash Picspam of DOOM (Part 1)
(Part 2 here)
So here we go. I already had a fair number of pics saved and/or capped from various moments I wished to squee about, but for this picspam I went back to the pilot and will go in episode order. Just helps to have a system, I suppose.
Serenity - Pilot

Okay, Mal's eyelashes make a subtle debut in the pilot episode. Here is a promising shot in which Zoe looks at him sidelong and his lashes peek out to say hello. [Screenshot from Still Flying dot Net]
Why, that's not so special (although that Nathan Fillion sure is pretty), you might say to yourself. Well, I warn you, it's only a hint of what's to come.

Mal helps Simon and Inara operate on a gut-shot Kaylee. Here is what I have come to call Angsty!Mal lashes. See, when Mal is angsty, he looks down and/or blinks a lot, and his lashes cast long shadows on his cheekbones, and I squeal, "MY WOOBIE!" and then I lose track of all time. *stares*
Yeah! So, anyway! Angsty!Mal lashes. This is a staple of the Firefly verse. You'll see them again.

Look! Mal is not always shrouded in darkness and angstcakes. Sometimes the sun shines through his eyelashes, too! <333 [Screenshot from Still Flying dot Net]

Mal and his eyelashes like to sit in profile. I agree with this particular directorial choice. 'Nuff said.
The Train Job

Just the one. I mean, I could have capped this entire scene, but we're not here for that, are we? The point is-- LOOK AT THEM. LOOK. Rarrrrr.
Bushwacked

Hello, I'm Angsty!Mal, casting the long shadow of my Angsty Eyelashes upon you! Fie! Fie, and fear the wrath of my abnormally long eyelashes! [Screenshot from Still Flying dot Net]
Shindig

Tee hee. I love this pic. Badger says he got his hands on a couple of

Awww then he gets himself into trouble. And Inara's mascara-ed eyelashes compete with Mal's for dominance. MAL WINS.

"Don't take his offer." Aaannnd the Angsty!Mal lashes of doom appear. See, this cap was nice and all, but there was this moment where he looked up for a split second and you could see through his eyelashes and I just fracking melted. But alas, the moment passed too quickly for me to cap, try as I may. Curse you, Nathan Fillion, and your flickering eyeballs of mad dramatic skillz.
Safe

Yeah. Sometimes, Mal's eyelashes cast shadows even when his eyes are open. Does that seem right to you? [Screenshot from Still Flying dot Net]
Our Mrs. Reynolds

Randomly, eyelash shadows! Also, Mal in drag, which never gets old.

Man, even Whimsical!Mal has pretty eyelashes. So. very. pretty. In fact, he's just straight up pretty in this shot. Let's all take a moment to appreciate this, shall we? I'll wait.
Jaynestown

Concerned!Mal, which is not to be confused with Angsty!Mal, but is close, and gives good eyelash profile. I'm not picky. *stares*
Out of Gas

There is just so much Angsty!Mal in this, but the best shots are when he's unconscious. Go figure! Look at the woobie and his eyelashes, awww. [Screenshot from Still Flying dot Net]

I'm afraid this is another shot I had to settle for (although, Jesus Gay, you can see how THICK those lashes are!) because there's this awesome moment where his eyes flicker upwards and his lashes lay all smooth and pretty against his browbone and I'm like lajsk;foiwajefwefa NO FAIR! But it happens too fast, yet again. Though to re-iterate: PRETTY.

Okay, his eyelashes are practically brushing the ceiling in this one. I hate him. And by hate I mean want to have his little long-eyelashed babies.
And on that note, I'm going to bed, for it is late and I have a long day ahead of me, with many more screencaps of Nathan Fillion. Work, work, work!
