'Origin'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
I'll watch it again, but I'll never like it as much as War Stories! Never!
Stomps foot.
Looking at the bigger picture, I'm not sure I can even pick just One True Favorite ME Ep. It would probably come from Buffy, although S5 Angel put a lot of contenders out there that I will have to gauge on rewatch. While I enjoyed the hell out of Firefly, I just haven't put enough time into it, and I think maybe there wasn't enough of it for me to rank it with Buffy or Angel.

Hee. Sounds like a good plan.

"The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco"--the single greatest hour of television ever produced.
Objects in Space for me, hands down, though Hush and Becoming come close.
My favorite is "Objects in Restless Gas. With Feeling."
"The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco"--the single greatest hour of television ever produced.
See, as far as favorite hour of television, I have to keep going back to "Fall Out", the last episode of The Prisoner, which I am convinced is the single ballsiest "FUCK YOU!" to just about the entire "civilized" world I've ever seen in a supposedly mass market television show. I'm not sure you can EVER top that without permanent injuries.
That said, NUMERO CINCO is a 5 star for me.
When I finally got to see more of Firefly than "The Train Job" and "Ariel"--when I got the DVDs--everything connected. There weren't nearly enough eps, and you could say it never had a chance to suck, but it hit me like it was everything Joss leading up to. Buffy and Angel opening acts? Well, no not at all, but blew me away.
So I'd agree with Victor Infante: "The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco," 'cause how could I not, after years of watching Lucha Libre? But "Objects in Space," very close.

OK. I can accept that.

As long as you are still paying homage to the sheer, unadulterated brilliance that is NUMERO CINCO!!!
t Goes to stand behind Lilty in the OiS meh-space.
Sorry, but I tried to watch that episode 4 times before I succeeded in watching it all the way through. The thing I liked the most about the episode? Nilly's review. Otherwise, it's all OoG and War Stories for me. As for single greatest ME ep? I don't know I can say. Any greatest ep I proposed would actually be more in the line of favoritist ep. That said, then I have to go for OMWF, Hush, Restless, the Body...take your pick. As much as I like Angel, the show was always second string for me. If there's no Buffy, there's at least Angel.
OK. I can accept that.
Given that you're a self-avowed anarchist, victor, I'm not surprised.
But NUMERO CINCO...where did that come from?
Who wrote that episode - I've forgotten? Was it Edlund?
It was so....from the heart, and had such familariarity with the subject matter. It showed RESPECT! For something so...I want to say ridiculous, because I didn't grow up with that particular cultural trope, but I can so appreciate it. Even when MST3K did those kind of movies, they handled them just right.
But, as I said: "Fall Out". Saw it in the junior high/high school years and it kinda was a primal/formative experience. As if the rest of THE PRISONER wasn't warping enough at that age.
