bluedana said:My top ten list changes from time to time, at least after #1 and #2. Especially now that I can watch them uncut on DVD. Some make much more sense now that they haven't been "syndicut," and often I get more out of them because I put on the subtitles.
My top two are Shock Theatre and Lee Harvey Oswald (but if this were the Olympics, the gold and silver medals would only be separated by a tenth of a point). I have a soft spot for Crazy Out of Control Sam.
In no particular order (because I love almost all of the rest) the list would go:
The Colour of Truth
8 1/2 Months
Leap Home, Parts 1 & 2
So Help Me, God
Dance Before an Execution
Jimmy
MIA
The Wrong Stuff
The other Jimmy one (that introduces Alia - title escapes me right now)
Liberation
Leap Between the States
Just shows you how different the choices of QL fans can be (also proves that many different episodes have an appeal to the fans). Not to be all superior or something (there are two or three episodes on this list that just failed to make the cut), but the list is also very different from my top 10 list.
Interesting to see the support for The Wrong Stuff, as it is considered by a certain fan segment (see: jump the shark site) to be the rubbish monkey episode (usually the people who also dislike the fifth season changes and are under the impression that this episodes was part of that season). My opinion? Well, let's just say that I think there is a hidden philosophy behind the episode.
The list will continue either later today or tomorrow (with an episode where Al wishes that he could be in Sam's position).
