I got this idea from someone in the QL Conventions thread.

Basically what we all do is list our favourite 10 QL episodes, and we make a tally. Then once we have an overall top 10 if we ever meet up for a convention as was suggested, these could be the episodes we watch.

Anyway my favourite 10 are...

The Colour of Truth
Jimmy
MIA
Miss Deep South
Black on White On Fire
Shock Theatre
The Leap Back
A Leap For Lisa
Deliver us from Evil
Return/Revenge of the evil leaper.

Hm...I remember starting a thread with the exact same question back when I first joined, only I also asked for the 10 least favorite as well. As of now mine (in order of most to least favorite) are:

1. "Shock Theater"
2. "Killin' Time"
3. "The Leap Back"
4. "Another Mother"
5. "Jimmy"
6. "Deliver Us From Evil"
7. "The Leap Home"
8. "The Great Spontini"
9. "Permanent Wave"
10. "Pool Hall Blues"

With a show like Quantum Leap, you can't pick one episode...you need at least ten!
 
cant think of 10 off hand, but MIA is up there,
and most DEFINATLY the last few mins of MI, where sam tells beth that al is coming home.

hell im not ashamed to say that that still brings a tear to me eyes
 
In no particular order.

Shock Theatre
Leap Home I & II
Deliver Us From Evil
So Help Me, God
Jimmy
The Wrong Stuff
The Colour of Truth
Lee Harvey Oswald
MIA
Trilogy, Part II
 
oh my goodness, this is a tough one. lets see
(oh and these are in no particular order)

Tempatation Eyes
Nowhere to Run
Deliver Us From Evil
Ruturn of the Evil Leaper
Revenge of the Evil Leaper
Double Identity (by default because it was my first episode)
Thou Shalt Not
Americanzation of Machiko
Mirror Image
Dr. Ruth
MIA
Leap Home Part 2 Vietnam
Leap for Lisa
Shock Theater
Leap Back
Dreams
Running for Honor
Star Light Star Bright

and many more, but i think i have listed enough hehe.
 
LOL i'll say.

I don't think we're gonna be able to come up with a universal top 10 - we may have to make it a top 20 LOL!!!
 
This week's top ten

My top ten changes from time to time - often because I'll watch an ep after not seeing it in a while, and it will shoot back into the chart.

This week then, my top ten (in no specific order) would read

Catch a Falling Star
Leap of Faith
It's a Wonderful Leap
Sea Bride
Shock Theatre
Leap Home (both parts but I'll count it as one to get an extra title in)
Promised Land
Honeymoon Express
Leaping without a Net
Single Drop of Rain
 
Camikazi Kid
Play it again, Seymour
What Price Gloria?
Blind Faith
Good Night, Dear Heart
Black on White on Fire
Last Dance Before An Execution
A Leap for Lisa
Deliver Us From Evil
Trilogy (sorry, but can't pick just the one)


My list might be the most surprising, as there is no room for either MIA (which was close) or Shock Theatre (which wasn't so close).

I picked the Season 1 episodes for the abuse theme (which was very well written) and the surreal (it's just out there!). Season 2 is all about the women, while Season 3 gives us some heavy domestic (for the Americans, that is) issues. Season 4 is too long ago for me, but the premise of the seasonender was very memorable indeed. Season 5 is just plain spooky with a lot of undercurrents.

Everyone's top 10

Hi everyone. I've haven't posted in a good long time (actually had to re-register :nut ), anyway I'm writing a fanfic to follow-up my fanfic "For One Brief Moment" and thought I'd put my two cents in about my top 10.

Maybe it should have been 10 ten dramatic and 10 ten light hearted, I tend to really like the light hearted episodes as much or better then the dramatic. Although my #1 is:

1. Shock Theatre
2. Temptation Eyes
3. Trilogy (Part II) (where I got the title for my fanfic mentioned above, last line before he leaps out)
4. 8 1/2 months
5. Good Morning, Peoria
6. A Portrait for Trojan
7. Freedom
8. The episode that shall not be named ....
9. A Hunting We Will Go
10. The Leap Between The States


Anna


10. Hurricane

Not to say I dislike these episodes, but they're not as good as the others in the season IMHO
 
1. Shock Theater
2. Black on White on Fire
3. The Leap Home/Vietnam
4. MIA
5. The Leap Back
6. The Bo**ieman
7. Killin' Time
8. Lee Harvey Oswald
9. Hooneymoon Express
10. A Leap for Lisa

I'm so surprised so many other people put Shock Theater at the top of their list. I knew it was my favorite, but I didn't know so many others thought the same way! :)
 
BTW, here's a running tally of which episodes are the most popular so far.

Since everyone was using so many different systems for ranking -- top 10, season by season, no particular order -- I just had to count how many times an episode recieved a vote, period.

For two-parters, which were split up or joined many different ways, I just had to make a judgment call on a case-by-case basis.

Here goes:

1) Shock Theater - 11 votes

2) MIA - 9 votes

3) Leap Home Part I - 8 votes

4) All episodes with 7 votes (in the order they aired):

The Leap Home Part II: Vietnam
The Leap Back
A Leap for Lisa
Trilogy (I added any votes for Trilogy into one)

5) Deliver Us from Evil (6 votes)

6) Color of Truth (5 votes)
(tie) Killin' Time (5 votes)

7) All episodes with 4 votes (in the order they aired):

Jimmy
B**gieman
Black on White on Fire
Temptation Eyes
Evil Leaper II/III (Return/Revenge)
Mirror Image

8 ) All episodes with 3 votes (in the order they aired):

Play it Again, Seymour
Honeymoon Express
Good Morning, Peoria
Catch a Falling Star
Freedom
Pool Hall Blues
Last Dance Before an Execution
Lee Harvey Oswald

9) All episodes with 2 votes (in the order they aired):

Double Identity
Camikazi Kid
What Price Gloria?
Blind Faith
8 1/2 Months
A-Hunting We Will Go
It's a Wonderful Leap

10) Anything else mentioned recieved only one vote. Too many to mention here.

Sheesh. I need a life, huh? LOL!
